The Brother GTX Lineup: Built for Every Stage of Growth

The GTX series bridges boutique print quality and industrial-scale fulfilment. Three models, each purpose-built for a different volume tier.

Brother GTX
Best for lower-volume, high-quality output. Standard industrial print head, cartridge-based ink system, manual daily maintenance cycles. The entry point into professional-grade DTG.
Brother GTX Pro
Best for mid-to-high volume shops. Advanced print head with reduced maintenance, semi-automated self-cleaning cycles, faster throughput with less downtime. Cartridge-based ink system.
Brother GTX Pro Bulk (Scale tier)
Best for industrial, 24/7 fulfilment. Same advanced print head as GTX Pro but with large ink tanks — 1.8L and 18L capacity. Lowest cost-per-print at volume. The machine TidyMerch scaled with.
The benchmark for industrial-scale DTG. Features MAX Technology for superior colour matching and XDi 3D decorative applications — simulating embroidery, vinyl, or high-density prints. Approximately 115–130 impressions per hour with ActiveLoad automation. Best for mid-to-large fulfilment centres requiring retail-quality output on cotton, polyester, denim, and mixed fabrics.

Why "Fully Powered by Brother" Works

Brother's Wet-on-Wet printing process means white ink and CMYK are applied in a single pass - significantly faster than most competitors. This single-pass approach is the hardware foundation that makes high-volume, low-cost DTG fulfilment possible.

Key advantages:

Single-pass printing - white ink + CMYK in one go
Industrial print heads engineered for continuous production
Ink tank system on GTX Pro Bulk slashes per-unit ink cost
Redesigned print head on GTX Pro reduces cleaning cycles and ink waste

Zero-Touch Order Flow

Orders from Shopify, Etsy, or your storefront route automatically into your Brother GTX print queue. No manual uploads. No missed jobs. GelatoConnect selects the right machine based on current load and garment type.

Real-Time Fleet Visibility

Monitor ink consumption, print volume, and machine uptime across every Brother unit from a single dashboard. Single-operator management across multiple GTX machines via the mobile app.

Predictive Maintenance

GelatoConnect syncs with the GTX Pro's internal sensors to flag maintenance windows before they become downtime. Less fixing. More fulfilling. The GTX Pro's self-cleaning cycles are scheduled automatically.

Software-Driven Precision: The GelatoConnect x Brother Integration

Ink Tracking Per Garment - Track exactly how much ink is used per garment in real time — so you always know your true cost-per-print and can price confidently.

Bulk Economics Trigger - As volume increases, GelatoConnect helps you track the exact point where switching to the GTX Pro Bulk ink system makes financial sense — removing guesswork from your biggest investment decisions.

Global Network Access - Sync your Brother GTX machines with Gelato's global fulfilment network. Route orders to the GTX facility closest to the end customer — cutting shipping distance, cost, and carbon footprint.
