Resolute DTG: R-Jet LA
“Back in 2014, Resolute DTG developed a hybrid
printing process for the already successful R-Jet
5 DTG printer,” explains Colin Marsh of Resolute
DTG. While the system worked well, he says, it
was limited in print area: “Two years later the
R-Jet LA flatbed three-axis printer was launched
and a similar hybrid system was developed for
this industrial platform.
The R-Jet LA, also known as the Exile FreeSty-
ler, is multi-functional: it is a direct-to-screen
system and a CMYK printer. It produces screens
up to 24” by 36” with either a tri-lock system
or pneumatic clamps for most popular screen
presses, explains Colin, adding: “Coupled with
its hybrid capabilities, it is a very unique system.”
The R-Jet LA and FreeStyler use thermal print heads: a high
speed piezo version will launch in early 2017. “The high speed
R-Jet 6, piezo version, has the added benefit of being a full
blown DTG printer with white ink, making it the only system on
the market capable of producing three different products.”.
Adding the full-colour print on the R-Jet LA
It is possible to produce over 100 dark T-shirts per hour with
one unit, depending on which version is used. The system uses a
custom base that attaches to most screen printing presses with
shirt pallets that self-locate between the press and the printer.
