LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESS Newswire / January 19, 2026 / According to the latest data from FashionUnited, the average American consumer now purchases approximately 53 garments per year. Within this high-volume cycle, the T-shirt remains the ultimate canvas for expression. Statista reports that global T-shirt revenue is projected to hit $52.8 billion by 2029, with individual consumers estimated to purchase an average of 2.8 T-shirts in 2025 alone.

At CES 2026, Obziy officially debuted the DP1 DTF Series-a comprehensive business solution designed to help apparel entrepreneurs capture this market by redefining the unit economics of garment personalization.

Bridging the Gap Between Mass Market and Micro-Brands As e-commerce and Print-on-Demand (POD) services lower the barriers for shoppers, the supply side has struggled with a "Profitability Gap." Creators have traditionally been forced to choose between unreliable DIY printer conversions or six-figure industrial equipment. Obziy resolves this paradox by focusing on three pillars of a sustainable apparel business:

1. Industrial-Grade Unit Economics A sustainable business relies on the margin per unit. By integrating the renowned Epson I3200-HD printhead into a desktop footprint, Obziy provides a commercial-ready asset with a resolution of up to 3600 DPI. This allows boutique brands to produce retail-quality goods that compete with mass-market giants while maintaining the flexibility of a small studio.

2. Production Velocity at Scale Time is the most critical variable in the $52.8 billion T-shirt economy. To provide clear financial clarity, Obziy has standardized its production metrics. Using a single-sheet A3 benchmark, the DP1 Series streamlines the workflow from print to cure. The DP1 Pro S model is capable of outputting up to 841 units per day, allowing businesses to scale from sample runs to high-volume orders with a single operator.

3. Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) & Lifecycle Beyond the initial investment, Obziy addresses the "Hidden Costs" of production-maintenance, and downtime.

• Automated System Care: Features such as specialized nozzle moistening and fluid alerts shift maintenance from a manual burden to a machine-led process.

• Lifecycle Reliability: Obziy treats the printer as a long-term financial asset, offering a robust warranty and service framework to ensure the hardware remains a "profit engine" throughout its multi-year operational life.

Empowering the Next Wave of Apparel Entrepreneurs "The combination of 53 garments per person and the massive growth in the T-shirt segment represents a historic opportunity for decentralized manufacturing," says the Obziy team. "Our goal is to provide the infrastructure-optimized for speed, cost, and ROI-that allows any creator to turn this market demand into a profitable enterprise."
