As David L. (forum owner) knows, I introduced him over 2 1/2 years to direct flatbed printing with the Busjet system. I no longer respesent Busjet, or any of their distributors and suppliers. PLEASE reconsider your purchase with the Busjet system.

For the past 2 years I've worked with www.swi-usa.com (San Wave International) and www.DTGDigital.com (Impression Technologies / Australia) to introduce their high quality, direct to garment and direct to product printers. I've worked with many different surfaces, pre-coats, post coatings, and developed inks together with these companies. With either of these we could give you much better support and servicing of these products.

At the SGIA show in Las Vegas, Sept. 26-29th both companies will introduce new printers and possibilities.

David I just read your posting re DTG I was in the process of purchasing a busjet but I sent it back because I hate the precoating situation. I am in Melbourne and I am very interested in buying this process but I havent found a system that I feel is quite right for me.
I want something that can print on glass etc. Does this process print white can you explain it a little for me Barry Grant (Baz)

Hello Baz,
The DTG machines are printing white for our garment/fabric solutions, however the white inks working in combination with our glass, metals, acrylics, etc. will not be available until Dec. of this year. We are currently testing, and hope to make announcements in the next two months.

Regardless of the white inks, or other inks you use in the direct flatbed technology, pre-coats are still necessary on many of the substrates. Adhesion issues are getting better all the time.

Thanks David
I went down to the local agent last night and he showed me the Textile printer. I am very impressed, He seems to think that you dont need to pre spray when printing to metals ,glass etc. He was talking of a heater element that preheats the object to be printed ???
I suppose the technology is very early and needs to go through a trialling period. I can understand the difficulty with the inks, Anyway thanks for your interest and I am definately hot for this machine, Regards Barry Grant (Baz)
