Hey,
Just curious. Is it still around or now sent to the history books? I know there was a large MHM shop in Texas running one but never heard back from them about what they decided to do. Then again maybe that was my answer.
I do know it was a relabelled machine from Asia though. I have seen videos of them running in Europe and Australia just curious that is all.

that machine just sold at auction, with a 6/8 press for $22k.

I think Jacob had one or two. Ask him. . .

I believe both the above companies went Roq so there you go.

Rumor is they are working closely with Epson on a new version (or something else completely new), but you know how rumors work.

Curious to see how that goes especially if it is with Epson. Would fit on your oval perfectly.

That's one of the reasons we have held off on the V Pro. Plus we are busting at the seams and need to get things under control on the production side. Hiring has been a challenge.

I have a Kornit paradigm that I am about to dump, available for spare parts if anyone is interested.
We never managed to get it running properly.
On white T shirts it was great but unfortunately most of our orders are for black shirts.
We never found a white for the base that would print without drying in the screen.
For small runs on dark it's not efficient because you need to make and register a base screen.
For long runs the base white was a nightmare.
I remember seeing similar units at Long Beach and they were spraying the white screen with water to keep it open.
It's possible that they have developed a white base that works well, i'm not aware of one.
We did get good results with a discharge base but that works if there is no white in the design.
The Kornit paradigm does not have a white ink. By the way Kornit discontinued this model.
I think if you want to do DTG then get a dedicated DTG unit, just remember these machines need to work a lot, the time and cost of maintenance doesn't pay if you are not printing a lot.
