The DTG Viper direct to garment printer is a 17" wide printer that incorporates the patent pending WIMS (white ink management system) and pressurized constant ink feed re‐circulation system that is a complete innovation of garment printers worldwide. The DTG Viper direct to garment printer is the culmination of 4 years of ongoing research and development and it was designed to meet the needs of all embroiderers, screen‐printers, colour studios, kiosk operators and garment decorators world wide.
WIMS (White Ink Management System)
With the patent pending WIMS White Ink Management System, head clogging and maintenance down time is considerably reduced. The DTG-WIMS is the definitive answer to white ink settling problems. By re-circulation of ink via a pressurized peristaltic pump system coupled with pressure release filters and dampers your white ink is ready to print when you are. We have reduced the maintenance and downtime currently experienced by static ink delivery systems as used by other printers in the industry.
Along with the WIMS, the DTG Viper incorporates a constant pressurized ink delivery system for coloured inks as well.
DTG One Pass Fast
A uniquely beneficial patent pending process that allows both white base and colours to be printed in just one pass. With the "One Pass Fast" you can offer faster turnarounds with greater speeds and gain much greater control over the colour gamuts required to create truly original and fantastic color prints to a whole host of substrates.
Up to 70% faster prints with exceptional colours and all supported with a unique easy to use RIP.
Print Head Technology
The Viper's one inch wide, high performance Piezo print head has 180 nozzles per channel with an ink repelling coating that's now standard on all DTG Viper garment printers. The 8 channel Piezo print head utilizes the constant re‐circulation and pressurization ink system and is capable of handling 8 colours in either dual CMYK or 4 channels of white plus CMYK. The DTG Viper has less clogging and ink starvation due to its adjustable pressure manifold coupled with a pressure release damper/filter throughout the entire ink path which results in superior prints with outstanding colour vibrancy.
Auto Registration and Flexibility
With the DTG Viper you can load garments that will auto register for perfect white and colour prints time and again. The DTG Viper is also flexible in that finished garments can either be returned to the front of the machine (if you are operating in a tight area) or can be ejected to the rear of the printer for faster loading, unloading and all around production throughput.
APCP (Active Print Head Collision Protection)
By Incorporating precision culminated light beam detection sensors, anything getting in the way of the print path is automatically detected and the active drive system will drop the pallet while printing, ensuring that head strikes are drastically reduced while still maintaining your prints.
PEP (Positioning Encoder Protection) Ink Mist Extraction Fan
A low noise, high performance axial fan is mounted and sealed in a position so that ink mist is trapped prior to settling over your encoder strips. Most machines sucks ink mist over these vital parts whereas the DTG Viper encapsulates the misting and overspray in a sealed compartment which is easily extracted before it gets in the road!
