Deciding to start or expand a custom clothing business is an exciting endeavor, but choosing the right equipment to support your business can be daunting. Let's delve into MTuTech's newly upgraded DTF printer. This printer produces stunning images and requires no massive investment, extensive space, or complicated learning processes.
DTF (Direct to Film) printing technology is a revolutionary process that uses specialized ink to print high-resolution images onto PET film, which is then heat-pressed onto various substrates. The DTF printer offers a more versatile selection of fabrics, including cotton, polyester-cotton blends, nylon, polyester, polyester-spandex blends, 50/50 blends, as well as light and dark-colored fabrics. This versatility has quickly made DTF printing a popular option in the industry.
The upgraded DTF printer not only features the basic 4-color scheme but also upgrades to two different 8-color ink schemes, providing unprecedented color gamut, color accuracy, vibrancy, and flexibility. Despite its advanced features, the 8-color DTF ink remains versatile and compatible with various fabrics, offering stability, vibrant colors, and excellent fluidity. Here are the specific color arrangements and representations of the printheads:
CMYK+W
CMYK+ORGB+W
CMYK+FM+FY+FG+FO+W
The details of this DTF printer's capabilities are remarkable:
1.High-precision EPSON i3200 printhead with up to 2400dpi resolution, capable of simultaneous printing with color and white ink for clear patterns and vibrant colors.
2.Suitable for printing with a width of 600mm (24 inches) and a height of 3mm, allowing for freely designed prints with vibrant colors and high definition.
3.Automatic ink supply system ensures smooth ink flow, including ink mixing, filtering, and ink level alerts.
4.White ink circulation system with independent ink cartridges to prevent ink sedimentation and nozzle clogging, thus prolonging the life of the printhead.
5.Fully automatic powder circulation system ensures drying and delicacy of the powder, saving costs.
6.Automatic adsorption and rotation device ensures no displacement of transmission and convenient operation.
7.Built-in smoke removal device enhances smoke extraction efficiency and environmental cleanliness.
8.Front plate heating function for drying moisture, enabling efficient printing and heating simultaneously.
9.Fully automatic winding device ensures higher step accuracy and printing quality.
10.Fully automatic drying and curing system with five carbon filament heating tubes for efficient temperature control and uniform heating.
11.Additionally, depending on your production needs, the size of this printer can be adjusted. For example:
A 20-foot container can accommodate 6 units of 60cm DTF printers.
A 40-foot container can accommodate 14 units of 60cm DTF printers.
In terms of return on investment, we have conducted a detailed study:
The cost per design includes ink, powder, film, and garment costs, totaling $3.19.
With a printing speed of 220 pieces per hour and a retail price per print of $19.9, the final profit amounts to $3676.2.
As for the workflow of the DTF printer, it involves designing, printing, shaking and curing the powder, cutting the film, and heat-press transfer. In addition to the printer, equipment such as DTF ink, DTF PET film, hot melt powder, heat press machine, and printer software are also required.
In conclusion, the DTF printer opens up a world of endless possibilities for your business. Whether it's T-shirts, custom hoodies, canvas bags, polo shirts, sportswear, shorts, hats, backpacks, gloves, or flags, vibrant full-color images can be easily printed on them.
