Direct To Garment Printer
Project Area of Specialization Computer ScienceProject SummaryDirect to garment or DTG in which a printer directly applies the ink to the clothing item with inkjet technology. This concept is some how
similar to the printing on papers except that it’s on a t shirt or sweatshirt. The desire design is printed directly on to the garment
hence direct to garment with a special printer using ink
which are absorbed by the fiber of the garment.
Project ObjectivesThe main objective is that the printer is not made in Pakistan. It is made in other countries and very expensive that is about $5000 to $10000. We want to produce it commercially in Pakistan that’s cost is about to half we want to make most affordable direct to garment printer.Our printer cost is about $1000 or less than that
Project Implementation MethodWe can do this project with the help of arduino programming. We can use some old printer and modified it to our own will. The dimension of our printer is formal like other direct to garment printer. We also do a reverse engineering for this project. We use iron Methodology to control the temperature.
Benefits of the ProjectWe can produce direct to garment printer commercially in Pakistan which is low in cost that provide opportunity to the peoples to start their bussiness in affordable cost.Actually it provides opportunities to start their own bussiness to the peoples
Technical Details of Final Deliverablewe can deliver a complete printer that prints on shirts which is low in cost and most important is that we can produce it in pakistan. A complete low cost printer
