DTF Printer of All Sizes, What is UV-DTF Printers For and DTF Inks and Powders Explored

Before diving into the specifics of Direct to Film (DTF) printers, let's address a crucial question: Why do you need one? If your workload isn't substantial enough to keep a DTF printer busy daily, a vinyl cutter might be a better and more cost-effective choice. Vinyl cutters are versatile and cheaper. However, if you're committed to expanding your printing capabilities, let's explore the world of DTF printers in the below video, live on CZcams:
DTF 300 Printer
Introducing the DTF 300: This machine features a 300mm width, prints from left to right, and handles print lengths up to a meter. The process includes a powder applicator (duster), an oven for curing the glue powder, and a take-up roller for the finished product.
Key Features:
Powder Applicator: Applies powder to the print, which adheres to the ink.
Oven: Cures and bakes the glue powder onto the print.
Take-Up Roller: Feeds the finished product, ready for cutting and heat pressing onto various textiles such as bags, shirts, caps, and shoes.
Benefits:
Versatility: Ideal for those looking to replace a cutter for full-colour prints or for those involved in embroidery, allowing for mass production of logos quickly.
Cost Efficiency: More affordable per meter compared to other options, making it an excellent choice for starting or expanding a DTF printing business.
If the DTF 300 isn't sufficient for your needs, consider the DTF 600.
DTF 600 Printer
Introducing the DTF 600: The primary difference from the DTF 300 is its 600mm width, allowing for larger prints. It retains the same print-to-powder applicator, oven, and take-up roller setup.
Advantages:
Flexibility: Can accommodate both 600mm and 300mm rolls, allowing efficient use of materials based on your needs.
Future-Proofing: If
you're already established in the printing business, the DTF 600 offers more capacity and efficiency. It's more economical in the long run to invest in the 600 from the start rather than upgrading later from the 300.
UV DTF 300 Printer
Exploring the UV DTF 300: This printer also features a 300mm width but uses a UV lamp to cure the ink instantly as it prints. A layer of glue is then added, creating a peel-and-stick product.
Features:
Ease of Use: Simply print, peel, and stick to any hard surface such as walls, glass, metal, and even floors.
Durability: The UV-cured ink provides a hard, durable finish that lasts longer than typical UV-printed stickers.
Versatility: Ideal for applications like sublimation on mugs and plates, offering an easy, heat-free application method that is dishwasher safe.
Software: All three machines come with software that allows customization of print settings, such as adjusting ink levels or adding borders, ensuring you get the perfect print every time.
