Brother Brings Revolutionary Ink Jet Based Garment Printer
to Market

BRIDGEWATER,N.J–Brother International Corporation’s
Industrial Products Division, A global leader in the industrial Sewing market,
elevated the bar once again with the announcement it will launch a remarkable
new ink jet garment printer. With an expected release date in July, the all-new
GT-541 uses the latest printing technology to raise performance, and
productivity, in the screen printing industry.

The Brother GT-541 uses ink jet technology that prints on
many garments in high quality color directly from a computer, with a 14″ by 16″
printable area. The GT-541 marks the progression from screen printing
technologies to a cleaner, faster, and more productive way to imprint images on
garments. This ink jet garment printer is as simple to operate as a desktop
printer, can network with multiple units, and delivers great print quality.

The GT-541 is faster and less expensive to operate than
traditional screen printing machines because there is no set-up, tear-down,
clean-up, screens, squeegees, or pallet adhesive. The GT-541 water based ink can
be cured by a standard heat press, eliminating the need to purchase a conveyor
dryer, and significantly reducing operating space requirements.

“The industry is literally lining up to bring the GT-541
into their businesses,” said Matthew Rhome, Brother Marketing Manager. “Brother
is the only manufacturer developing this technology that has field tested their
printer for over one year at embroidery, and screen printing businesses. We
placed twenty-nine units and imprinted more than 100,000 shirts in a real-world
setting to make sure we delivered the quality and durability we projected.”

Brother offers a full line of industrial sewing and
embroidery machines, software, accessories, parts (PAS Store) and training from
the single head to multi-head models. The company is recognized for its
high-quality, state-of-the-art machines and accessories – offering ease-of-use
and flexibility at competitive prices.
