This ink drop size produces scalpel-sharp detail and photo-realistic quality to make your personalized garments stand out.

At 110 by 67 by 42.5 cm (43 by 26 by 17 inches), the TexJet® shortee² fits into smaller spaces than most DTG printers, ideal for home-based businesses. You can even load it into a car and take it to tradeshows and events, allowing you to serve customers on site!
simple to maintain
Make your life easier
This machine is designed to save you time, money, and hassle.
Let it sit
You can leave the shortee² idle for up to 30 days without ink waste, which means you save on ink. When you’re ready to run, the maintenance routine takes only five minutes of following the steps on the display.
key features
Automatic height adjustment
A sensor sets the ideal distance between the fabric and the printhead, so you can switch from t-shirts to tote bags and more with ease while reducing risk of damage to your machine or your garments.
Small size
Start an apparel shop in your spare room or garage, and load it into your car for event kiosks and tradeshows.
Large print area
Same as the industry standard at 30×45 cm (11.8×17.7 in), so you can compete with other businesses.
Swift snap-on platen swaps
Easy removal and replacement means less fuss for you and faster results for your customers.
Ink setup
Lights, darks, or both? Choose between CMYK +4White for both lights and darks or 2x CMYK for only light garments or prints without white ink. Best of all, you can change your choice if you want!
Refillable cartridges
