Scroll

The garment printer "GT-541", released in 2005 in the US, was manufactured by applying the inkjet technology and combined technologies of mechatronics and special ink. Being able to quickly print pictures from the computer onto fabric with no specialized knowledge, the printer was loved by Americans, who have long had a culture of creating original T-shirts.
