Buy a Printer, Get Some Ink

The new E-SERIES DTG inks are now being
shipped with all Spectra 3000 DTG printers.

Image Armor LLC recently announced that Spectra DTG, which
produces the Spectra 3000 direct-togarment printer, is now exclusively
shipping all new printers with the
Image Armor E-SERIES DTG Inks.
The new E-SERIES inks are
designed with a 35-second whiteink cure time and improved wash
fastness. This, combined with the
Spectra 3000, is a combination
made to help new DTG printers
be more successful. The easy-to-use
inks will help keep production times
lower, with better performance. This
combination is an ideal solution to
the screen printer looking to get into
direct-to-garment printing, according to the company.
