Description

The Brother GT-541 Direct To Fabric printer allows you to put any graphic on a flat piece of material. Print on t-shirts, bandanas, sweatshirts, fabric shopping bags, your own material for sewing projects, etc.

After 30 seconds in the heat press the image is permanent; we have seen it survive many, many trips through the washing machine.

Classes

BOSS class is available to show the operation of the machine.

Specifications

  • 14" x 16" print area
