      This is my 3rd writing about this company. I purchased a DTG machine for my son last still paying for it. This machine works only for 2 weeks and stop. My son would called and someone would tell him what to do and and the machine would work for 2 weeks and stop again. The problem occurred when he would order ink from the company and when he change the old one and started using the machine it just stop working. He would spend over $600 to purchase ink and something to flush the printer head out. It works for a little and went back to square one. My son realized that they had a recall on the ink and going back and forth with the technician they decided to change the printer head and send back the new ink. The printer works again and then the ink finishes he ordered new ones and when those arrive and he put the same in the machine works work a little and stop. He reached out to the technician and the same procedure starts all over again. That is a next $600 went down the drain and not to mention t shirt that he never get compensated for and loss of business because the equipment is not working. Last 2 weeks my son went and ordered ink the ink arrived he changes the finish ones and the same problem occurred. He reached out to the technician that the machine is not working and that one of the ink was defective. The technician told him to send pictures which he did but to our knowledge I know the inks that the send are all expired and this is why the printer head is clog up . I need the manager to do right by replacing the printer head and send new ink which are not expired

      We always appreciate feedback from customers and want to make sure our team is providing top notch service. As mentioned, this is a repeat of a similar review.

      The policy of our organization is to monitor expirations of supplies. If a product supply is expired, it is not shipped. It provides no benefit to us, or our customer, to ship expired products. Quality supplies has always been a part of our culture, which is why tens of thousands of businesses have trusted our team to supply their printers and embroidery machines. 

      Management will be made aware of this new review, of a similar nature. 

      Below is a response to the previous review. 


      We want to make sure your DTG printer is up and running. Ink quality is of the utmost importance to our team and our customers. We make sure to handle all ink with care and deliver a quality product to our customers. Management will be notified of this review and we look forward to figuring out what is causing printing issues. This model has been out for some time with successful printers & quality, we want to help you succeed. It should not be a challenge to have a technician provide assistance. When a ticket is opened this is monitored by management to be sure all tickets are handled and resolved in a timely manner. The cases you described will be reviewed by the team asap.
