Introduction to TexJet
The TexJet is an inkjet printer that has been made to print on almost any type of
garment or fabric material as cottons, polyester, wool, leather etc, depending on
the inks that are used (Pigment, Disperse, Acid, and Reactive). The TexJet normally
uses pigment inks, which are more convenient to work with the most types of
garment.
TexJet can use up to 8 colors (2xCMYK, CMYK+4xWhite or other combinations).
The system is based on a standard inkjet technology (the Epson 4880 printer is the
heart of the system). The printer has been modified to work with the TexJet RIP
software which is included with your TexJet.
TexJet RIP is used to print the white under base (under the colors). You can create
the images in your favorite program Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, or Corel
Draw and then simply import them into TexJet RIP to print to shirts.
TexJet prints on 100% cotton with the best results. It will print also on 50%
cotton/50% polyester blends, and many other natural and synthetic materials.
