WIMS (White Ink Management System)
With the patent pending White ink Management System, head
clogging and maintenance downtime is reduced considerably.
By re-circulating 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 seen in the industry making the DTG-VIPER the best all-round white ink print system in the world
market today. The DTG-WIMS is the final answer to white ink prints.
Latest generation print head technology
The DTG Viper uses an all new 8 channel Piezo print head with
ink repelling coating and utilizes a constant re-circulation and pressurization ink system. It's capable of
handling 8 colors in either dual CMYK or 4 channels of white plus CMYK. The Vipers one inch wide, high
performance print head has 180 nozzles per channel and has an adjustable pressure manifold coupled
with a pressure release damper/filter throughout the entire ink path. With less clogging and ink starvation
the DTG Viper delivers superior prints with outstanding color vibrancy.
High Performance Prints
Utilizing our latest high performance Piezo print head technology, the DTG VIPER is among the fastest direct to garment printers in the industry. With an average print speed at 360 x 720 dpi, one pass printing
to light colored textiles will generate up to 70 prints (10’’x 12’’) per hour. (Dark garments needing white ink will require higher saturation of 1440x720dpi)
Viper Conveyer Pallet System
The DTG garment pallet system is truly unique on the DTG VIPER and prints two garments at a time as standard with our specialty pallet assembly and auto registration built in. Simply drag and drop your designs from most file formats into our DTG RIP templates. Your artwork is easily positioned with pinpoint registration and achieved via a unique conveyor garment loading system. The micro servo motor driven conveyor system produces perfect dot registration accurate to 0.017mm.
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)
A low noise, high performance axial fan is mounted and sealed in a position so that ink mist is trapped prior to settling over encoder strips. Most machines suction ink mist over these vital parts where as the DTG VIPER encapsulates the misting and overspray in a sealed compartment which is easily extracted before it gets in the road!!
DTG INK's and RIP's
In order to ensure vibrant color correct prints, the DTG Viper utilizes advanced wash fast pigmented inks and color enhancing RIPs that allow you to use less ink by laying down the right amount of ink and exactly where you want it, it’s simple. With thousands of installations worldwide, the DTG INK's and DTG RIP software series are the benchmark for garment decorators worldwide.
Auto Registration and Flexibility
With the DTG VIPER you can load garments that will auto register for perfect white and color 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 round production throughput.

* Based on published ink prices within print parameters |
(If you print a dozen shirts a day which is minimal, that's 60 shirts per week, and say 50 weeks, that's 3000 shirts per
year, if you print half white shirts and half dark shirts of images similar to this, your cost on DTG is $2070, Cartridge
Based machine $4410.00 (DTG prints the same number of shirts for $2340 less!!!!!) 5 years of printing, you will
saves $11,700 on DTG versus a cartridge based system!
