Is the only way to print 1 off dark t-shirts with an image bigger than A4 DTG? Now if so how much when it's 1 here 1 there? Images like this...this is actualy on a polo shirt.

You could do it large format cut and sew and print the whole fabric black

Hi Paul
That is my schulz swing expo.
It is quite sturdy, bought from ebay. They suffer from a weld that breaks and isn't obvious but easy to get at when you know where it is, they then print with uneven pressure. It took me 10 minutes to take the press apart, walked around the corner, left it with the local garage, picked it up the following morning....cost me £10 for the weld.
The press was cheap...can't remember how much but had done a bit of homework and knew they were good.
That's the middle size press, I also have a larger Pressmech....also highly recommended.
Pisque...I see your point, I am trying to keep things as simple as possible.... although I never end up down the simple route!

THE OKI 711w is sold as an A4 white laser printer but takes paper 220 x 420mm big so you are a lot bigger then a4 !!
above image could also be done in 2 parts, pic and text separate!

A lot more expensive and I do not think they sell the 420mm long paper, the paper logo bear is talking about is the TMT WOW stuff.
