The T-Jet3 PLUS is an inkjet printer that has been modifi ed to print on almost LUS S i i s s an LU an i ink
any type of fabric material as well as non-textiles, such as golf balls, keyboards, fa fabr bric ic m mat ater eria ial l as
tennis balls, etc. (The ink will not work on waterproof nylon and most synthetic et etc. c. ( (Th The e in ink k wi will ll n not ot w wor ork k on
materials.) In the past, this type of printing was diffi cult, if not impossible to do t t h h
because there were no inks available that would work on both 100% cotton and
50/50 cotton/polyester blends AND withstand the rigors of washing.
That all changed with the introduction of FastINK Textile Ink. Designed
specifi cally for these materials, FastINK requires only a post-treatment of heat
to cure when printed on lighter shirts. It's even possible to print with White ink
on dark shirts with the application of a Pretreatment. This ink is so versatile it
can even be used for printing on non-textiles by applying Fast T-Jet Non-Textile
Pretreatment to the item before printing and Fast T-Jet Non-Textile Series Post-
Treatment to the item after printing.
Since the T-Jet3 PLUS is based on standard inkjet technology, with the Epson
1800 being the heart of the system, you can print from any graphics application
like Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, CorelDRAW,
Macromedia Freehand or QuarkXPress. Another very good graphics application
you can use is FastARTIST, which is included as part of your kit.
Besides being reliable and versatile, the T-Jet3 PLUS is fast, printing a standard,
T-Shirt sized image in under two minutes. Whether it's a shirt, a towel, mouse
pads, tote bags, bibs or baseball caps, the possibilities are endless.
