Brother Inkvestment Tank DTF Mod Review: When Every Penny Per Print Counts

Brother’s Inkvestment Tank series was built for high-volume document printing but with a clever mod, it becomes a DTF ink miser. Refillable bottles slash ink costs to pennies per transfer, making it ideal for shops printing 30+ shirts daily. The catch? Brother’s thermal printheads aren’t as white-ink-friendly as Epson’s piezo systems, so frequent cleaning is non-negotiable. But for the frugal entrepreneur, the math is undeniable: lower cost per print means higher margins.
