The design concept of the DTG K3 was finished in February of 2009 and selected Beta test sites were established in the later part of the year. The DTG K3 technology is based on its larger sibling the DTG Viper, “we looked at the positive feedback and success of the DTG Viper and decided to make a smaller version of it and implement the option of printing 2 x A3 images in a single pass through the machine”.
