HY-4050 DTG Printer
An A2 DTG platform with dual Brother heads and independent color and white channels.
The HY-4050 is an A2 textile printer for direct-to-garment production on cotton and cotton-rich apparel, combining a 400 × 500 mm platen with two Brother industrial piezo printheads and water-based pigment ink in independent CMYK and White channels. It serves garment decorators producing personalized T-shirts, hoodies, polos and totes.
Built for cotton apparel production
The HY-4050 is an A2 direct-to-garment printer for short-run cotton and cotton-rich T-shirts, hoodies, polos and totes. Its 400 × 500 mm platen, two Brother industrial piezo printheads and independently controlled CMYK + White channels support repeatable light- and dark-garment workflows.
For polyester-rich or mixed-fabric orders, compare the HY-702 60 cm DTF printer and HY-401 30 cm DTF printer. To plan both routes as one line, review the 60 cm DTF + DTG solution and model unit cost with the DTG vs DTF ROI calculator.
Factory-direct production support
Configuration, onboarding and after-sales guidance are coordinated by the manufacturer team in Shenzhen.
Direct-to-garment result on cotton
The same cotton T-shirt remains on the platen so the blank surface and finished DTG print can be compared directly.
