After spending a few weeks with Thriving Ink’s new i-dot DTG printer, I have fallen in love and am ready to offer it up to you artists. Maybe it is the fact that is takes two minutes to print a 15 color 16x20 design or maybe it’s because we can offer to our customers no minimums? It's awesome. No setup, no screens, no films, no 7 day production time. You need one tee for samples or for your portfolio or personal collection? Let us handle it. I am officially a personal fan of DTG technology and can’t wait to see how this niche in the industry blossoms. We will continue to screen print our Thriving Ink tees (for now) but it is awesome to be able to offer the customers and artists that come in to our shop a one-of-a-kind tee. Let me know if you have any questions or ideas or just want to chat about the DTG and it's place in the industry. jenelled@thrivingink.com or tweet me @jenelled_ti 2009-07-02T15:13:34-04:00 18 2009-07-01T15:29:56-04:00 47771 false false 2823 2823 2 2009-11-08T00:52:58-05:00 436 I would like to be a thriving ink'r 47771 Post 2009-07-01T15:33:11-04:00 1422541 506 2009-07-01T15:33:11-04:00 your portfolio is pretty awesome. we will be printing new tees soon so ill bookmark your stuff! 47771 Post 2009-07-01T15:37:02-04:00 1422611 2823 2009-07-01T15:37:02-04:00 We've actually picked up a few jobs from a local company with a broken i-dot that's only 3 months old. I wish you better luck! It's a super-fun technology, for sure. :) 47771 Post 2009-07-01T15:49:52-04:00 1422771 7003 2009-07-01T15:49:52-04:00 yeah we have had it now for about 3 months and so far no problems. i think it has a lot to do with how well you take care of the machine. we treat ours like a baby. haha but it is a machine and i am sure we will have to send it in for repairs sometime. 47771 Post 2009-07-01T15:51:58-04:00 1422861 2823 2009-07-01T15:51:58-04:00 How does it work, is it like the printer I use for paper, but with special inks or something.

I might need a few one offs, maybe. 47771 Post 2009-07-01T16:07:24-04:00 1423171 2991 2009-07-01T16:07:24-04:00 emailed... 47771 Post 2009-07-01T16:22:23-04:00 1423421 1067 2009-07-01T16:22:23-04:00 i was just at the shop talking to brenda about this today. im gonna use it to print one run samples of each design 47771 Post 2009-07-01T16:25:07-04:00 1423461 10976 2009-07-01T16:25:07-04:00 emailed 47771 Post 2009-07-01T16:40:47-04:00 1423621 32631 2009-07-01T16:40:47-04:00 Would you post/ship to good old England, as I am struggling to find a decent printer with no minimums? 47771 Post 2009-07-01T17:29:10-04:00 1424471 10144 2009-07-01T17:29:10-04:00 <blockquote><cite>Trix Teas said:</cite> Would you post/ship to good old England, as I am struggling to find a decent printer with no minimums?</blockquote> Try <a href="http://www.bgconcepts.com">BG Concepts</a>.

Obviously it isn't as simple as i described but that is how it works. The ink is really expensive--just like your desktop printer, but the quality is pretty kick-ass. Especially when the art is good! The best part for me is the colors--however many you want! 47771 Post 2009-07-01T18:29:48-04:00 1425241 2823 2009-07-01T18:29:48-04:00 email'd 47771 Post 2009-07-01T18:31:32-04:00 1425261 5274 2009-07-01T18:31:32-04:00 got back to everyone who e-mailed me! let's print some teeeees. :) 47771 Post 2009-07-02T15:13:34-04:00 1436891 2823 2009-07-02T15:13:34-04:00
