DTF Printing Systems

DTF systems print onto PET film, apply hot-melt powder, cure it in an oven and transfer it to fabric under a press. Fabric colour and fibre do not matter — cotton, polyester and blends all behave the same.

The system is two units: printer and powder shaker/oven. Buying the shaker separately looks cheaper, but how well the two units run in step is what actually sets your throughput.

How dtf printing systems are priced

There is no single list price in this class. Five items set it: printhead brand and count, print width or bed size, the ink system (cartridge, bulk tank, whether white circulation is fitted), whether installation and training are in scope, and freight plus electrical work.

The same model can differ by a factor of two on head count alone. A quote itemises each of these separately, and states the installation, training and warranty scope alongside them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are installation and training included?

Yes. On-site installation, commissioning and operator training are part of the quoted price. Freight, forklift or crane, electrical infrastructure and ventilation are not — they differ on every site and are itemised separately.

What is the lead time?

One to two weeks for stocked models, six to ten weeks for a configured build. The exact figure depends on head count and ink system.

Can I trade in my current machine?

We do consider it. Send the make, model, running hours and head condition; we quote a trade-in value after inspection.

Can I see the machine running?

Yes. You can take a demo print with your own file in the showroom. Book ahead, and bring your material so the test is on your actual job.
