GT-3 Cookbook - GT-3 vs. 541

GT-3 Cookbook: 541 vs GT-3 Series



********* 541 vs. GT-3, a reasonable evolution *********

Compare the size of those models:

GT-541 (1170mm x 935mm x 610mm) GT-3 Series (1370mm x 1045mm x 660)


GT-541 prints a full-color image only on white and light-colored garments directly. You feel nothing on the garment. GT-381 (four white print heads) and GT-361 (two white print heads) can print on the garment of any color. GT-341 has the same function a GT-541, but it can print with both 1200x1200dpi and 600x600dpi resolutions as well as GT-381/361. Enjoy the brand-new upgraded print with GT-3 Series!

The colors with/without White Ink can be changed like you print on expensive photo paper for inkjet printer special (on White Ink) or on normal paper (on a T-shirt directly).

Pretreatment can decolorize the dye of some garment. The white / light-colored garment can become yellowish, either when the pretreatment/ink is cured, or when the garment is left in direct sunlight. Be sure to test before you print.
