Former execs from AnaJet, Ricoh launch DTG Connection

DTG Connection, based out of Fountain Valley, Ca., is a new company started by former executives from AnaJet and Ricoh DTG, including former CEO Karl Tipre, former vice president of North American sales Adam Tipre, and former marketing director Paul Crocker.

The company will be an authorized re-seller of the Ricoh Ri 1000 Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printer as well as other new products and services, which will be announced early next year.

“This new venture will focus primarily on the customer. Our aim is to do more than sell businesses a new tool or printer,” said Karl Tipre. “We’ll provide a full-solution business opportunity that connects customers to field-service options and other printer operators, allowing users to share and receive jobs.”

The DTG Connection team’s over 30 yeas of combined experience in DTG printing will allow the company to use its knowledge of customer needs to provide an excellent experience for Ricoh Ri 1000 owners.

To celebrate the launch of the new company, DTG Connection has a special offer for customers: every Ricoh Ri 1000 purchase will now include a free 16” x 20” heat press and will be shipped for free.
