If you have a business that creates corporate giveaways or wants to expand its brand to include apparel and giftware, Roland DGA has the ideal solution in the BT-12 direct-to-garment printer to help you print on t-shirts, tote bags, facemasks and more. The fact is that customization remains a robust trend in 2020 and even service industry companies like BeginRight Employment services are offering customized solutions and are looking for affordable technology like the BT-12.
We talked with Ryan Klitz, Safety Officer at BeginRight Employment services, a direct hire and temporary staffing agency located in Portland, Oregon. BeginRight started in 1986 and has since grown into one of the leading agencies in the Pacific Northwest, serving Washington State and Oregon. They help light industrial companies find staff for food processing, clerical and manufacturing positions. Klitz found that operating in a pandemic vastly changed the way his company was doing business, and he was looking for a way to keep BeginRight’s injured workers employed in a return-to-work program.
As part of this program, his company gives out logo-printed T-shirts to employees and clients, and Klitz was getting tired of paying for outsourced production. That’s where Roland DGA and the BT-12 direct-to-garment printer fit into this scenario, as he began investigating direct-to-garment printers as a way to address both of these issues.
BeginRight Employment Services looked for a DTG printer and found thire solution in the BT-12 that fits neatly into their office space, ready-for-customizing.
What drew you to Roland DG’s BT-12 direct-to-garment printer?
Klitz: The videos and reviews online made the BT-12 look like a simple machine that anyone could operate, while also producing a high-quality product.
What we found is that the ease of the entire process is just mind blowing. From the software to the actual finished product, it’s easy as it gets. We’ve been very happy with the quality of the printing as well.

When the mask mandate came out, we were very happy to discover we could print our customers’ logos on them. Providing our clients with their own logo on masks and T-shirts has been a huge hit
What types of garments have you customized on your BT-12?
So far, we’ve produced logo graphics on sweatshirts, T-shirts and masks.
