M&R I-Dot DK2 Direct To Garment Printer

If you are thinking about entering the world of direct-to-garment printing, there is no better companion than M&R's exciting i-Dot digital textile printer. Not only does i-Dot have the sophisticated feature set experienced professionals require, it is priced within the reach of most screen printers, embroiderers, and other garment-decorating professionals. In fact, i-Dot makes it possible for businesses outside the garment-decoration industry to provide clients with customized apparel. Sports apparel retailers, event organizers, entertainment venues, and companies in the tourist industry are just a few of the businesses that would benefit from the ability to produce apparel customized for individuals or small groups.

The NEW generation I-Dot DK2 is even better than before. While the i-Dot II DK looks very similar to the i-Dot I, it has been designed to offer higher levels of functionality, with greatly increased ease of operation. The MTA control panel has been moved to the computer stand, and is placed between the monitor, and the keyboard on an extended keyboard tray. This placement offers far better viewing, and consolidated placement of all operating controls.

• The only decision that the operator needs to make is the color of the shirt. There is no longer a need to select single print pass for light garments, and double print for dark shirts! Simply choose your color environment from the pull down menu, White, Black, or economy color, load the shirt, push print, and the i-Dot does the rest.
• There is a new fully functional Pause button that allows the printer to be stopped at any point, and then resume printing without losing position.
• The new reset button can be used to quickly eliminate any error codes that may occur, and the occurrence of error codes has been nearly eliminated.
• In general the functionality, and interface have been greatly simplified for ease of operation, while maintaining the unsurpassed print quality of the i-Dot on both light, and dark garments.

The Auto-Release Press also features the "HOVER" feature. This means when the handle is lowered without fully clamping the machine, the press will hover over the work, usually needed for curing purposes. At the end of the time cycle the press releases automatically as usual. This heat press is the perfect addition to ANY Direct to garment printer and the preferred heat press of use by M&R and Ryonet!
