Earlier this year, T-Shirt Forums held it’s first Annual Direct To Garment “Battle Royale” contest. This was “The ultimate Direct to Garment Printing showdown to find the best DTG operator in the world!”
Contestants printed the same images on their garments using the printer, ink and pretreatment of their choice, and were judged on 5 factors:
First Impressions – is the print “display ready” without pretreat stains and heat press squares
Sharpness of detail in the print
Softness of hand on the print
Print accuracy – (registration, trapping, no banding, even ink distribution)
Washability – how does the print hold up after the initial wash?
Winners were announced in May 2011.
Three of the top four contestants used the Neoflex direct to garment printer
including:
Champion of the Battle Royale, Justin Walker from Fusion Logistics Group
Second place awarded to Mandy Riley of Vintage Tees
We are proud of our NeoFamily for doing so well in this competition and hope they are ready to defend their titles next year!
