Best Budget T-Shirt Printer?! Roland BT-12 DTG Review

[@AuthenTech]

Estimated COST per print. Roland says, "Depending on the graphics, ink costs can range from $0.22/sf to $0.72/sf."

[@darlenegreen9189]

I would like to purchase this printer.

[@youngblood7308]

not to mention the 2$ amazon shirts linked

[@mryorkielover]

Maybe you can get White Toner and fill up one of the other cartridges. Print your shirt with White Toner first, Bake the image in then put the original color cartridges back into the printer and reprint your image. This might be a workaround.

[@AuthenTech]

Haha that’d be a fun experiment. I feel like if it didn’t work, it could get messy 😄

[@anthonyzook304]

Another great video as always! Love your channel and you deserve many more subscribers!

[@AuthenTech]

Thanks so much, Anthony 👊

Ben, I reported the What's App Spammer pretending to be you.

Excellent Tutorial Video Ben. Thank You.

[@AuthenTech]

Thank you, Doug

[@GarrethEvans]

Just a heads up, there is max software. Very hard to find, as their website is a nightmare. I’ve had mine 2 years and only is it on macs

[@blanfix]

That moment that you can't stop watching how open and installing printer) nice job) thanks for sharing)

[@AuthenTech]

Glad you liked it!

[@kevinsullivan9691]

I have this printer and it works great, but your right the software is so outdated but the printer is a rebadged Ricoh R100 the software is even made by Ricoh but roland won't update it to latest verison that ricoh have with more features. Tried using the Ricch software but some kind of driver issue stops it. Great video by the way.

[@DanyCesc83]

I think the cost difference makes up for the lack of update on the software lol

[@mattfishler7827]

Can you run the ricoh ink cartridges on the Roland?

[@ItsKeshini]

wooww very impressive! I am impressed too by how true to colors the Authen Tech appeared on the white t shirt. But would be better if there was the option white ink. Great review!! Greetings from Mauritius!

[@AuthenTech]

Thank you! Cheers

[@ItsKeshini]

@@AuthenTech you are most welcome!! Thank you for replying😍😍 and loving the content you are creating!!❤

[@printake]

Can you give us the printing size for tshirts?

[@crewshair360]

Sweeeeet!!! Blessings! Happy 2022! Thanks for your wonderful videos! U are great at what you do!

[@AuthenTech]

Happy new year!

[@TuRepublic]

Cool Spirit Brother I Always Support :)

[@geeneou5]

They have a good promo right now. It’s too small for my needs, and I too think it needs the white ink

[@AuthenTech]

White would be great

[@marwanfilms]

How is the durability after washing the tshirts several times?

[@nightcasino]

Horrible! Regret my purchase! So embarrassing when everyone washed their shirts and it looked 20 years old.

[@nayoo1687]

Where can I see and order for this printer. I am from Charlotte NC. Please let me know.

[@alexcrews2590]

Would you mind doing a video on how you make your videos

[@AuthenTech]

I'd love to!

[@alexcrews2590]

That is so cool

[@hesacuber]

That’s a nice way of putting mrbeast in the thumbnail haha…great video!

[@AuthenTech]

Haha thanks! 😁

[@user-jt5vm3mi1w]

Do you get to keep the printer?

[@darlenegreen9189]

Where can I purchase this printer?

[@SomeRandomWittyName]

It is a bit hard to judge if this is a budget friendly printer when you omit the price of the thing.

[@Justin_W]

No white is a deal-breaker. Statistically, black shirts are the most popular, and other popular colors are Navy, grey/sport are also way up there in popularity. Too bad.

[@craigme2583]

I actually thought you could do that with most $50 printers

[@AuthenTech]

Haha, I dare you to try it

[@nankypooh655]

No option for white ink, can't print on black shirts, not compatible with a Mac. I think I'll look for something else. Great for beginners with Windows, though.

[@Dazdigo]

Now print some dye sublimated keyboard keycaps.

[@AuthenTech]

haha, that'd be great ⌨️

[@highestcapo2968]

Wow noice

[@AuthenTech]

very niice

[@Iseeyoumane]

So it’s no good for black shirts basically

[@urmutal]

first comment

[@AuthenTech]

heyo!

[@cuddles6938]

EPSON is the industry standard for t shirt printers but cost $13k. They also finance.

[@AuthenTech]

I found others at $18-50K. They *usually* are quite expensive

[@IraQNid]

The inks wash out after 20 washes? What kind of inks are they? Dye sub or something else? If they are dye sublimation then you need to use a polyester or a 60/40 poly/cotton blend. You can print dye sublimation directly to cotton. I wouldn't trust this machine as any kind of business oriented use. A total waste of money.

[@GarrethEvans]

Starts to fade after 20 washes. It is a direct to garment printer, prints on 100% cotton, minimum of 70% cotton. I run these, and sublimation printers, these are a whole different level.

[@FiveCedars]

We set the inks with a heat press and they do not fade and it prints on 100% cotton. Excellent resolution and colors that really pop. Well worth the money if you have a market and smaller designs are getting more popular and its great for kids stuff.

[@vancetoobe4482]

😂 $3,500 is budget? Yeah, ok 👌🙄

[@shaolin6]

wait so its basically useless against a black tshirt?

[@AuthenTech]

Yes

[@Sandeeprai6]

Sir can i have your watsapp please i need some information about this roland
