Hey bud, I am GTX tech and happened to come across this video and I just wanted to help out.. I would recommend trimming your waste ink hose, so it is not submerged in the waste ink.. this causes back pressure similar to holding water in a straw with your thumb.. and does not allow the waste ink to flow down from the maintenance station to the waste ink tank; eventually overflowing and dripping into electrical sensors. I would also recommend that you should switch your humidifiers to the Vornado e-vap 40.. The kind you are using in this video will cause your internals to eventually rust.

What an amazing review. I am actually in the middle of deciding between the two and this is the best most unbiased review I have come across. I think I will go with the Epson because my production is low and also the Epson machine is cheaper by almost $5k. I haven't heard enough pros for brother to pay 5k more for the machine. Thanks a lot.

[@kienmayin]

I just thought that your problem is not about GTX, it's about your budget. If you can accept a lot of hidden costs, then buy the Epson. I'm much tired of Epson for this reason.

[@TylerLove]

Very glad to come across your channel. I am researching and you give so much good information. Thank you

[@dobsob08]

That was a great video. Real world experience, great info, and throw in some comedy as well...Brilliant. I will subscribe, like, and watch again.

[@KolorKing]

This was a great review. I found it very helpful.

[@07Review]

hi friend excellent video, I just wondering how you Make it out with the hidden cost on both nachines, I am looking for the Gtxpro B or the Epson F2200 thanks for your comments

[@amedionteo]

Both totally different machine bro.

[@07Review]

@@amedionteowhich one do you think is more easy to maintain and what is the best in image and design quality, at the end I am looking for the best of this 2, thanks for the information

[@amedionteo]

@07Review i dont get the chance to try F22 yet so cant comment much. I would say color wise Brother has more vibrancy and of course its higher in maintenance cost. Features i prefer Brother. Not sure if F22 have many improvements.

[@07Review]

@@amedionteo ok, thank you brother, keep doing videos, you are very professional and help guys like me new in the business. GOD BLESS YOU GUYS!!!

[@kenue6111]

Hi my friend, good videos thanks for share your knowledges. I have questions for you, do you use epson original inks? I want to try use refil cartridges do you recommend or not? the another one question is about if you consider for best results and more easy and fast steps use DTF instead of DTG?

[@amedionteo]

I dont use Epson. Depends on your market and quantity to print. Generally speaking DTF easier to achieve good result. DTG a pain to get it right.

[@kenue6111]

@@amedionteo thanks for your message, can you tell me the name of the brand of the cartridge for Epson? the chip works properly? and also I want to know the brand of the inks, thanks in advance for the information.

[@amedionteo]

@@kenue6111 the brand is Epson itself genuine ink. The chip works for sure. ;)

[@LavishClub]

Thank you so much for this!

[@dipimedia_print]

Nice review, maybe if you add to compare the price of printer, ink, and printhead it will better. God job

[@amedionteo]

Thanks for the feedback. Different region different pricing so i dont want to do that cause it mau be confusing.

[@dipimedia_print]

@@amedionteo of course, but I think its still okay if you compare price in your region

[@amedionteo]

@@dipimedia_print alright thanks. I'll keep that in mind.

[@AlistairOwensgooglePlus]

Which has better print quality? Or are they same?

[@amedionteo]

@@AlistairOwensgooglePlus sharpness the same. Artwork detail depends. Epson can bring out more on yellow side and Brother on other colors. Overall Brother print out more vibrant so it looks more attractive then Epson dull colors.

[@emresahinler2356]

Hey, can you please share where do you buy the inks for brother gtx ?

[@amedionteo]

We are authorized dealer.

[@munirnazir9010]

great job bro

[@christianbianco2075]

Estimado buenas tardes! Sabes cuáles son las principales diferencias entre la brother GTXpro vs. Brother GT3 ? Saludos desde argentina !

[@LionSharpAction]

Thx for this valuable video man. Just one question, At the end you mentionned that U turned off the tools for 2 months and no issues at all, both of the printer Epson and GTX turned off right?

[@amedionteo]

Yea.. Both.. Make sure proper closure maintenance done.

[@LionSharpAction]

@@amedionteo Thx man !

[@blackdeath5134]

You're doing great videos, thank you for the insights and information. What do you think, a volume of 300-500 prints per month is too low to consider buying a GTX?

[@amedionteo]

Thats good enough for a GTX.

[@blackdeath5134]

@@amedionteo Thank you for your reply! My biggest concern however and what has stopped me from purchasing a DTG printer is the fact that it basically has to run constantly in order to prevent clogging of the print head, right? So I can't just plug the printer out and let it sit for 7-10 days. So what to do, if you need to be absent for a while?

[@amedionteo]

@@blackdeath5134 with the new gtx u can. The white printhead is very reliable. Just set to transportation mode and u will be fine.

[@blackdeath5134]

Hello, I would like to bay ink chip for epson f2100 or chip reseter. Where can I bay it? Best quality.

[@hamizishah3177]

Why you doing powerful cleaning, I'm really scare doing powerful cleaning cause use a lot cc ink

[@amedionteo]

It will run powerful cleaning after your white ink circulation

[@khalil2099]

is it easy for the printhead to get clogged ? if dont print in 1 week time.

[@amedionteo]

U can let it rest for 2 weeks no issue. Though its recommended to run frequently

[@raulduro809]

What would you say are the hitting costs of Epson?

[@amedionteo]

I dont get your question

[@anthonyh8497]

Maybe they meant hidden cost?

[@Karim-miki]

Nice video bro But you didn't talk about the price

[@amedionteo]

Yeap cause price may change based on region or other factors. So i dont mention it

[@Karim-miki]

@@amedionteo brother GTX price not exactly And thanks a lot

[@hehehaha4700]

does 30 counts as high vloume?

[@amedionteo]

Depends on your margin as well. If you have high margin enough to cover your maintenance & ROI then that's okay.

[@hehehaha4700]

@@amedionteo I see OK because I feel Epson is more suitable but when say the volume part I got scared

[@hehehaha4700]

@@amedionteo I'm talking about 30 a day btw for epson

[@amedionteo]

@@hehehaha4700 yeah 30pcs per day is just good for epson and not so bad for GTX. Sometimes you get bulk orders then GTX will be more suitable.

[@foreignnola7832]

What’s the best tshirt to print on? Bella canvas? Next level?

[@amedionteo]

We have limited brands in Malaysia. They're either expensive or stock shortage so we use Gildan only. No idea on Bella Canvas and Next Level. Cant' answer. Sorry.

[@inkaprintclt8004]

I am a screen printer in NC. I use most of the time BELLA CANVAS for their color options, fit and soft feel of the shirt. I have also used Next level and they are good quality as well; both of those are a little more expensive than other brands but still not as expensive as American Apparel. But if you are going for economy or basic quality shirts Gildan / ALSTYLE are the better option. Hope this helps.

[@javiervelez73]

What’s the use of that, vapor machine? at the side of the printer?

[@amedionteo]

that's humidifier.

[@nate1hunnitmedia790]

How to order T-shirts?

[@phinelia]

For me the make or break decision to choose from either is the print size 🤔 I wish these things printed a little bigger

[@Trerozay]

Hello, how long does the white ink last on your dtx ?

[@amedionteo]

Not coming off yet so far even after 5years. just a little crack lines.

[@mounirhachem8733]

Have you ever looked into omniprint freejet 330tx plus?

[@TheArpits]

Replace all of your DTG machines with a Epson F3030.

[@amedionteo]

Can you sponsor me?

[@TheArpits]

@@amedionteo haha...i can see 2 brother gtx and your new F2130, F3030 will cost the same and you will save a lot on inks.

[@amedionteo]

@@TheArpits thats not my Epson. :) I prefer few units of Brother GTX over one unit of DTG whether Pro Bulk or F3030. Our volume not as much to use expensive machine. xD

[@TheArpits]

@@amedionteo What are your thoughts about the F3030? I am planning to get one.

[@amedionteo]

@@TheArpits The speed bottlenecks with their PT and inks at 60s time. You need to pair it with dryer to be efficient. Then Epson have lots of hidden cost as i mentioned in the video. Not sure about F3030 though. But if u have the budget then why not. Its fast. ;)
