Paul, so are you using Epson 2100 DTG inks to print DTF transfers on a 2100? What are you using to apply and cure the glue if you don't mind me asking. Looked at Epson 2100 and DTG couple year ago and think about it now and again but seems a long process with pretreat etc and costly inks so we decided to outsource it as being mainly workwear most logos can be done with embroidery and print/cut.
DTF however really appeals more but it's still an outsourced thing for us currently as only way it would be viable for us would be to use it a lot, meaning processing DTF to sell and whilst it's an option it's diverging from our main thing, branded workwear. Looked at some at the P&P show and some of the Chinese DTF options are cheaper than the bigger players but if not used enough those epson heads they all use are still expensive to replace. Even the Mimaki engineer I spoke with at Sign and digital said it's still being tested as to how long it can be left (ie going on holiday might not be an option!) and thats £11500+vat for the printer plus a shaker.
