Brother GT-3 DTF Mod Review: Can a DTG Giant Play in the DTF Sandbox?

Brother’s GT-3 was born for direct garment printing but with third-party kits, it’s stepping into DTF territory with surprising grace. Its industrial white ink system, originally designed for dark cotton, translates well to film with minor adjustments. The workflow is more complex than a dedicated DTF printer, but for shops already invested in Brother DTG, it’s a logical expansion that leverages existing expertise.
