Ingeniously Simple
When you decide to invest in direct-to-garment technology, you have a choice of various different systems. At first view, they will look more or less the same, and most are ! Without closer evaluation the print quality and colours seem to be similar too, so for many people it can be a mine field. The R-Jet 4 textile printer has been built on the knowledge of experts who have been involved with direct-to-garment printing for many years. We have taken away all the bells and whistles that are no longer needed with todays advanced ink formualtions and made the R-Jet 4 “Ingeniously Simple”. The R-Jet 4 is superior in build quality, reliability and price. It is the only portable direct to garment printer available on the market and comes complete wioth it’s own transport cradle.

How to load a shirt
The R-Jet 4’s unique closed shirt box design allows garments to be held in place when printed rather than flapping around. In most cases the shirt is placed on top of a shirt board or physically glued down, this can be very difficult when printing sweatshirts or thicker garments. The shirt box design eliminates this and makes loading and unloading simple and quick. Once loaded the shirt box is placed onto the transport belts, with one press of a button it loads ready to print .The Zero Fixture mechanism ensures the garment is at the correct height every time no matter what the thickness. The hydraulic box adapts automatically to the individual height of each garment. The printhead is kept constant the whole time and there is no reason to be wary of printing thick sweats and polo shirts since they can easily been loaded in the boxspace under the pallet.
ZeroAlign© the patented transport system
‘It would seem the same printer is used in many other machines, so there should be no difference in output’ It looks this way to many garment finishers, but actually the R-Jet 4 is distinctly different. The features that determine quality and repeatability of the print in direct to garment printing are mostly found in the way of driving and controlling the shirtholder. What makes the R-Jet 4 different from all other printers is the patented transport system, this integrates the base functionality of the Epson 4880 print engine in a simple an ingenious way. When printing with textile ink extraction is essential to keep the pirnter clean and running smoothly, the R-Jet 4 has built in extraction with a filter that can be changed in seconds when neccessary. This to is a feature unique to the R-Jet range.
Perfectly controllable
Proven economy
When you see how quick and fast graphic-files are imported and transformed to a printfile, you realise the real performance of the R-Jet 4 Rip. There are a lot of automated features that help you find the perfect print mode for your individual design. The creation of the white underbase when printing on dark shirts is one that should be highlighted. Another aspect is the integrated preview, which enables you to simulate the print out on different coloured shirts.
“Less bells and whistles means less bills and down time.”
Not only is the hardware performance and design features important, but more and more the flexibility in the software is important when managing a business. It is the same when running a direct to garment printer. A key feature of the R-Jet 4 printer is the R-Jet 4 Rip©, which focuses strongly on essentials to maximize a high quality output. The easy-to-handle software offers a high-performance import-functionality of all common vector and image files and abstains from any extensive graphic features, which are these days offered in standard photoshop and many other software brands.
The printing results are exceptional, not only for the first print, but as often as you choose to print. However for the business to be profitable it depends not only on the reliability of the printer but also how much ink is used. You cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs - and if you work with textile ink, you need to clean the printer on a regular basis. Resolute Ink has it’s own unique white formulation for it’s proven RST white ink. With greater durability than our comeptition a garment printed with Resolute Ink can last up to ten times longer. One of the many benefit’s to using Resolute Ink is we do not sell through other machine dealers, this cuts out a profit margin allowing Resolute Ink to be sold very competitively despite higher manufacturing costs. The advanced formula of our white ink means no WIMS system (white ink management) is needed to keep the machine in good working order. If you prefer the R-Jet 4 can be supplied with a white ink management system, although we feel this is an unecessary feature and involves unecessary costs.
