Apparel printing operations are confronting rising demands for mixed-fabric customization without expanding physical footprints. Addressing this operational bottleneck, Brother International Corporation has introduced the GTX300 Hybrid Garment Printer, a professional-grade digital system merging direct-to-garment (DTG) and direct-to-film (DTF) manufacturing capabilities into a single compact chassis. Lawrence Davenport, Vice President - Industrial Products Division, Brother, notes, the machinery enables custom apparel producers to eliminate redundant hardware overheads. By combining DTG and DTF into one professional platform, we are giving print businesses a practical way to expand what they offer, improve operational efficiency, and grow with confidence, remarks Davenport.
Advanced engineering and eco-certified ink integration
The equipment utilizes proprietary continuous wave-like ink circulation across dual industrial Piezo print heads, delivering 1200 by 1200 dots-per-inch resolution while mitigating white ink settling. Operating on water-based Innobella textile formulations, the system meets stringent environmental compliance benchmarks, holding OEKO-TEX Eco Passport and GOTS 7.0 certifications. Commercial decorators switching between natural cotton garments and synthetic performance polyester can manage complex job queues via an integrated seven-inch touchscreen and dedicated GTX Graphics Lab software, maximizing factory floor throughput.
