CAN-DO PRINT CO. INVESTS IN BROTHER GTX
Colorscreen has announced that a Brother GTX
Direct to Garment digital printing machine is up
and running at Can-Do Print Co. to meet increasing
production demands as the year progresses.
This technology allows Can-Do Print Co. to produce
and ship all around South Africa with ease.
Customers have commended the machine’s quality,
durability and numerous opportunities as well as
complex graphics that can now be created. The GTX
print heads, developed by Brother, contain many
more nozzles than its previous print heads. This
allows for prints at 1200 x 1200dpi in a single pass,
resulting in high quality prints at mass production
level speed. This makes the Brother GTX printer
two to three times faster than the previous model
GT-381.
The GTX’s new design stacks the white print head

behind the CMYK, so when the platen comes out,
the design is fully printed. The print driver can be set
to pause for a specified length of time between the
laydown of the white underbase and colours. This
allows for the printing of traditionally difficult fabrics
that absorb more ink.
