Hi there, Brother recommends attaching the laminating sheet (sold separately) to your printed fabric to minimize color transfer. Color will transfer and change during fabric use and washing.
Love this concept for the new Brother's Print Moda Studio. Question. Why are the rolls so expensive? There is only so much you print with just 5.4 yards at $100 each. Cotton fabric is so inexpensive to buy per yard, but Brother is charging $100 just for a tiny amount of yards, 5.4 yards -crazy. I hope to hear your feedback.
I agree with IraQNid's comment below. There must be 20 similar videos on YT and they all have the same characteristics - all fluff and no specs. I guess we're going to have to wait for somebody to spend the grand to buy one of these and tell us something useful.
The brother website doesn't provide the technical specs of the machine. What information do you have about that? 01) Print resolutions in pixels 02) ink volume per color 03) print speed in color and black only mode based on print resolution and size 04) are the inks water based dyes or pigmented inks for longevity, waterproof, highly fade resistant? 05) What is the recommended drying time before the material should be handled in a crafting / manufacturing use? 06) Are there weird odors from the ink (Epson's DuraBright pigmented inks have a strange smell)? 07) How many times can a printed piece of fabric be run through the washing machine before wear & tear start to show? 08) Will the inks bleed into other clothing in the washing machine? 09) If so how long until that stops being a problem? 10) Are there special instructions for washing and drying? Some inkjet printed fabrics require you to turn the item inside out when washing and drying. In the dryer they also stipulate that it be set to a low or no heat setting and to remove it promptly from both types of machines. 11) How long will the printed fabrics remain vibrant and under what conditions are the best for longevity? 12) There was no mention of what the top tray is for, how is the USB port used on the front of the printer? 13) Can it be used to save projects to it or is it simply for loading files? 14) Can I use the printer as a standalone unit by adding an external video display or connection to a tablet for viewing and selecting larger files (without the Artsira software)? 15) I ask because the small screen on the printer itself will be barely useful in choosing files off the USB Flash Drive. 16) Can the USB port on the printer support a USB powered hard drive like a Western Digital MyPassport hard disk drive? 17) What is the maximum drive capacity that the printer supports from its USB Type A port? 18) What format should the USB drive be formatted for (FAT, FAT32, exFAT, NTFS, something else)? 19) Being an inkjet printer how often do you need to print to prevent clogged print heads or print lines? 20) How long can I go without printing? 21) When a clog does develop or broken lines start to appear in the prints what is the cleaning process? 22) Does the machine use the ink to "clean" itself? 23) Some inks have a certain shelf life before they "go bad"...does Brother inks have this problem? 24) Can I send my own designs to the printer from a Windows, Apple, Android computer without using wi-fi? I used to sell technology solutions to customers. Not that easy when the manufacturer refused to provide technical specs of their products.
How does this hold up to lots of washes

😲 This is pretty cool 😃
It sure is!
That printed pretty quickly

You should have taken the backing off to show what the fabric drape would be after printing.
Hi! This cotton fabric would drape similarly to any other standard cotton fabric.
Can it be used for T-shirts?
