@omniprint brand CHEETAH dual-T-shirt printer model handsomely displayed with helpful knowledgeable team. Dr Nicholas of FLAAR Reports looks forward to learning more about this company and their DTG T-shirt printer workflow system. #signexpo ISA 2019

Another option to start a serious T-shirt business is with DTG Freejet brand T-shirt printer from @OmniPrint. Nice DTG #FreeJet330TXPlus T-shirt inkjet printer on display at #signexpo ISA 2019. After business grows, move upscale to CHEETAH dual-T-shirt printer.

Lawson Screen & Digital Products @lawsonsp had noticeable presence in several T-shirt printing equipment booths at #signexpo ISA 2019. The Lawson Pre-Treat Zoom-AE was a perfect size for start-ups (when you get larger you can evolve to larger Lawson T-shirt workflow models).

Once you have your T-shirt business first year with great basic Ri 100, then move to RICOH Ri 1000 for more production when you want to move your T-shirt business forward. @AnaJet booth 1117 #ISA2019, RICOH @RicohTweets booth 735 at #signexpo ISA 2019

[Nicholas Hellmuth @NHellmuth_]

RICOH @RicohTweets T-shirt printers via @AnaJet had two levels of T-shirt printers: RICOH Ri 100, helpful, easy to learn system for people just starting to get into T-shirt printing (home business, garage and basement startup). FLAAR Reports finds Ri 100 ideal for first-time.

Lots of brands of wide-format inkjet printer RIP software, so it helps to know training options, etc. We look forward to learning more about #ONYX RIP software and capable company and team behind it.

[Nicholas Hellmuth @NHellmuth_]

#ONYX was first RIP software brand I noticed 20 years ago; still strong RIP software presence #signexpo ISA 2019. RIP software is “brain” of printer. FLAAR REPORTS will be writing more about RIP software options all year.
