The Fast T-JET Blazer line is the hottest inkjet-to-garment printer in the industry. It is being used by everyone from home based businesses, to retail stores, screen printers, embroiders all the way to large internet companies with dozens of banks of machines doing thousands of shirts per day! It is a very robust production machine that prints outstanding images on light and dark shirts! There are two models of the T-JET Blazer - a free standing production machine called the PRO that prints three shirts in one pass, and the T-JET Express tabletop unit that prints one shirt at a time. The Blazers print on light and dark garments, towels, panties, shorts, bibs, bandanas, aprons, tote bags, socks and more. You can print up to 16.5 x 44 (41 x 111cm) on the Blazer PRO machine and up to16.5 x 20 (41 x 50cm) on the Blazer Express. The T-JET Blazer is great for small and large jobs. With an ink cost of less than 40 cents per shirt (standard print size on light shirts) and speeds of 60 to 80 seconds for a standard size image you can get great production! The T-JET Blazer uses four color plus white (CMYK+W) inkjet technology to give you outstanding vibrant prints on light and dark garments. Each machine comes with four 8 oz. starter bottles of FastINK TEXTILE CMYK color, 1 liter of FastINK White, two gallons of pretreatment for dark shirts, AND a great graphics program called FastARTIST and FastRIP. You can print from most graphic programs like Photoshop, Illustrator and Corel draw, or you can create the artwork and print from our powerful FastARTIST. Both machines have easy head height adjustments, and feature a touch screen display that controls all printer functions including maintenance, head cleanings and more. You can hook more than one machine to a single computer (optional software) for higher production. Blazer prints are very washfast. The finished print needs to be heat-set using either a standard heat transfer press or long conveyor dryer. No additional treatment is necessary (other than applying pretreatment for white ink on dark shirts).
* Production rates are lower when printing white ink on dark shirts.

The Fast T-JET Blazer Express is the same exact printer under the hood as the free standing Blazer PRO. It uses the same print engine, software, and robust shirt moving mechanism. The only difference is it is a table top unit and only prints one shirt at a time. Everything about this printer says robust and ready to print shirts day-in-and-day-out! The Blazer Express has heavy-duty handles in the front and on the back making it easy to move and very portable for event printing.

AutoTreat Specifications
When printing on dark shirts you must apply a pretreatment solution that keeps the white ink on top of the shirt. Our Pretreatment #1 is the standard of the industry. And, to greatly improve the washfastness of prints on light shirts we developed FastCOLOR. With these two pretreatments, your prints will look outstanding. Until now the only way to pretreat shirts is use a power sprayer like the Wagner spray gun. We supply these with all Fast T-Jet printers. But, this spray can be a little messy and some users have a hard time getting the pretreatment applied evenly . Your pretreatment worries are now over! The AutoTREAT Express is a tabletop unit that simplifies applying pretreatment onto light and dark shirts. It uses precise industrial spray technology and a microprocessor controller. You can control the amount of spray and the length of the spray pattern. You get the exact amount of spray each time. After the shirt is sprayed, you simply lay the garment in an optional heat transfer press and dry it for a few seconds. You can also get the AutoTreat Express PRO that includes a built in heat press and internal blower. The shirts are sprayed, dried and heat pressed - all in one action. They come out of the machine ready to print! Simple. Easy! Shirts can be pretreated in 15 to 20 seconds! Express

For guaranteed results, highest print speed and film that dries immediately - we offer FastRIP HIGH SPEED that is designed to u se FOUR FastINK Dye black cartridges with FastPOS Waterproof film only. When using four black cartridges the quality of color output may suffer slightly. We will NOT guarante e the quality if you use film and ink from other third party companies. This is a system of film, ink and soft ware that works beautifully when used together.
Available for Windows/PC or MAC.* Free support. Easy to use. Imagesetter quality. Clean, crisp halftones. Sharp Index stochastic square dots. Uses off-the-shelf Epson ink or FastINK. Perfect registration! Calibrated and designed for screen printing. Works with PhotoShop, Corel Draw, Illustrator, Freehand, Quark and FastFilms. Print color calibrated proofs AND heat transfers! 130-page manual in English AND Spanish.
Easy To Use
With FastRIP you print directly from Adobe PhotoShop, Illustrator, Corel Draw, Freehand or FastFilms. There are no additional steps and no confusing commands or hot folders. Just press the Print button as you normally would. You specify the halftone line count and angle just like you always do. And, when you burn screens from clear film with crisp, sharp black images that are as dense as imagesetter output, you will find your screens expose MUCH better. No more playing with exposure times like you do with laser output. Your halftone dots are a thing of beauty!

Do I need a RIP?
If you want DENSE black images and halftone dots, you need a RIP like FastRIP . FastRIP tells the inkjet printer how many passes to make when printing black so the printer lays down a much denser ink deposit when using FastRIP. The magic of getting dense black images is not entirely in the film. The rip is part of the magic!

This unique automated software is based on Scott Fresener's years of teaching the processes and his intimate knowledge of screen printing and using Photoshop for high-end separations. It is like having Scott sitting at your computer doing the seps for you! When you invest in software like FastFilms you need to buy from someone you know and trust. Besides being a highly respected industry leader, Scott is also a member of the Adobe Developers Network and was on the beta test team for Photoshop 6.0. Success breeds imitation and there are a number of look alike programs to FastFilms. Dont let a few dollars savings tempt you to buy a program that is inferior and provides poor or no support. And, a program is not a bargain if the separations dont work at press and you spend hours making adjustments.The quality of a separation program is directly based on the knowledge of the person who wrote the program. Some programs are being sold by ink companies. Do you really think an ink company should be selling separation software? Trust your instincts and buy from someone you know and trust.
Its so easy you wil l do jobs the day you get the pr ogram !
