Fast T-Jet Garment Printer Review
Dean Armando
There are two models of the T-JET® Blazer with the Express being a compact yet powerful tabletop unit that prints one shirt at a time. The Blazer Express prints on light and dark garments, towels, panties, shorts, bibs, bandannas, aprons, tote bags, socks and more. You can print images up to 16.5" x 20" (41 x 50cm) on the Blazer Express.
The T-JET® Blazer Express is great for small OR large jobs. With an ink cost of less than 40 cents per shirt (standard print size on light shirts) and speeds of 45 to 60 seconds for a standard size image, you can get great production and outstanding, vibrant prints with its four color plus white (CMYK+W) inkjet technology. Each machine comes with four 8 oz. starter bottles of FastINK™ TEXTILE CMYK color, 1 liter of FastINK™ Bright White, two gallons of pretreatment for dark shirts, AND a powerful graphics program called FastARTIST™/FastRIP™. You can even print from most graphic programs like Photoshop, Illustrator and CorelDraw.
This machine allows for easy Print Head height adjustments and features an HMI display that controls all printer functions, including maintenance, Head Cleanings and more. You can also link more than one machine to a single computer with optional software for even higher production rates.
Perhaps most importantly, Blazer prints are very durable and will withstand MANY washings. The finished print needs to be heat-set using either a standard heat transfer press or long conveyor dryer, but no additional treatment is necessary.
