Ha Ha Ha man hugs love it!

I am sad that Epson white printers today still go through the hassle of Epson white printers of yore, it is hard to believe that at the least the internal Epson software errors and mysteries have not been dealt with yet!

Brad like you said white ink having titanium particles in it is really really harsh on print nozzles, anyone in the business should know by now the epson heads simply are not designed nor rugged enough for that kind of ink.

Remember the days of people complaining loudly about the price of a GT541, well there is and still is a reason for that, its called R&D and lots of it. Contrary to belief Brother was R&Ding well before Scott dropped his boat anchor on the market, Scott was not ever the Pioneer of DTG.

Matt Rhome is the most credited for pioneering the technology and guess who he pioneered it for? Brother.

I read those threads this morning.  There isn't much real info being shared over there these days, the majority is i-dot troubleshooting.  I have had some hot dtg opinions for some time, especially those epson based printers, I just thought I would see what others had to say about them. 

Last years ISS show in Ft. Worth, I was drug over to the idot at the GSG booth and watched it do it's thing while listening to a terrible sales pitch from a new guy that didn't know what he was talking about, but I was polite anyway and went through the whole thing.  I believe Donnie was standing around there as well about the time I was there, and I really didn't have the heart to tell the guys that there was no way in hell one of them would be in our shop.  I've been sitting by watching the m&r forums to see what kind of machine they were, and a small part of me smiles when I read those because I had a really good feeling that they were not going to be what they were trying to sell me on.  I was told some pretty heavy things about the reliability and lack of maintenance about the machine at that time that I knew couldn't be true, but the sales guy was very uneducated on the matter so I really shouldn't hold that against m&r, but I do anyway.  They put the hard sell on me for months, and now that sales guy doesn't even work for them anymore and I don't have a high maintenance machine to worry about, so all is good on that front.
Was that a fart?
