Brother GTX Pro DTF Conversion Review: Can a DTG Giant Play in the DTF Sandbox?

Brother’s GTX Pro was born for direct garment printing but with third-party kits, it’s stepping into DTF territory with surprising grace.

The white ink system is already battle-tested, and the industrial frame handles film with minimal modification. It’s not plug-and-play, but for DTG shops looking to expand, it’s a logical, low-risk evolution.

Thermal printhead clogged 3 times in 6 months with white ink. When it runs, it's fast (40+ shirts/hour) but the downtime kills profit. Lost a $3K order due to a failed purge. Daily agitation is non-negotiable. If you print 8+ hours daily, maybe worth it. For sporadic use? Absolutely not. Switching to a dedicated DTF printer next month.
