Art in Engineering

BelQuette engineers industrial grade digital flatbed inkjet printing systems that are on the cutting edge of digital-direct printing technology. BelQuette’s printing systems are the best way to print direct-to-garment to make customized, promotional, and personalized t-shirts and garments in the shortest amount of time. In just minutes you can have your customized digital artwork beautifully printed directly on a myriad of products.

Celebrating 15 Years!

Yes, it’s actually been 15 years since Brett and Mark started BelQuette in the basement of Mark's house in Cincinnati, Ohio. It all began with the introduction of our first flatbed inkjet printer called Imaginail which could inkjet directly onto people’s fingernails. The attraction of this project wasn't the substrate but the challenge of engineering an inkjet printer that would be able to print high quality images on media that was as unusual as people's fingernails. It was difficult in those early days to convince others to place their hands into a black box with moving parts and strange noises, all in the name of research. Mark and Brett succumbed to being the test dummies, wearing the experimental coatings and colors for weeks on end. Since that time, we have continued to forge ahead in developing and manufacturing alternative flatbed printers that have printed on various products from inflated footballs to large format pre-stretched artist canvas to t-shirts. The first digital garment printer concept was developed by BelQuette for Scott Fresner in 2003 and eventually lead to the design and manufacture of our first commercially viable digital garment printer, the Flexi-Jet.

This year marks our 15th year in business and our strongest year to date. The year was spent with heavy research and development in various disciplines; we have expanded all aspects of our company from engineering, manufacturing, to customer service, and sales . Additionally, we will be moving into a much larger engineering and production facility in Clearwater, Florida to meet our current and future demands. This year’s growth has spawned many breakthroughs and patentable solutions from which our industry will greatly benefit and we are very excited about the advancements that are in store for the garment printing industry.

We look forward to exceeding your expectations with revolutionary solutions that satisfy your needs now and in the future.
