Thinking about this, the project in case aimed recycle a disable printer, adapting it in a textile printer, in other words, reusing it in order to print images on cloths. Thereby, you can reduce costs of acquiring a textile printer. Is performed a cost comparison between the costs whit the adaptation and with a factory textile printer, as the print quality and ink absorption by cloth. After analysis, concludes that although the success of adaptation, the ink used was unsuccessful in fixing the fabric, and the cartridges needed to be adapted to accommodate other types of ink.
