HY-4050 DTG Printer
A2 40×50cm platen, 2 Brother industrial piezo heads and independent CMYK + White channels for cotton apparel production.
Overview
The HY-4050 is an A2-format direct-to-garment (DTG) printer with two Brother industrial piezo printheads (3.5 pl minimum droplet), a 400 × 500 mm platen and independently controlled CMYK + White channels. It is positioned for short-run cotton and cotton-rich apparel such as T-shirts, hoodies, polos and totes.
Key features
- Two Brother industrial piezo heads at 3.5 pl minimum droplet for crisp gradients and fine type on garments.
- Independent CMYK + White channels for separate control of color and the white underbase workflow.
- A2 platen (400 × 500 mm) sized for hoodies, large jerseys and oversize prints.
- 1,500 ml documented ink capacity for the water-based pigment ink system.
- Up to 10 mm garment clearance with three quick height levels for thicker garment areas.
Reference print times
| Garment / fabric | A4 | A3 |
|---|---|---|
| Light fabric | ≈ 50 s | ≈ 88 s |
| Dark fabric | ≈ 64 s | ≈ 103 s |
Who it’s for
Small and growing apparel businesses: custom-apparel shops, print-on-demand sellers, contract printers and in-house brand teams who run cotton and cotton-blend garments and need reliable one-pass color + white on dark stock. The A2 platen and short-run workflow suit teams printing to order rather than holding blank inventory.
Pair the HY-4050 with a DTF transfer workflow for non-cotton substrates: see the HY-702 60cm DTF printer or the HY-401 30cm DTF printer. For 1.8–2.6 m roll-to-roll textile output, see the H-Series R2R printers. To run DTG and DTF together as one production line, see the 60cm DTF + DTG solution.
