Garment decorations have been forever impacted by the DTF/Direct-to-Film industry. Roland is one of the leading manufacturers in printing technology and now they have upgraded their lineup with a new compact DTF printer. Applications are endless for this durable, high-resolution way of printing garment transfers.

Applications:

Create vivid, colorful, stretchable, heat transfers on:

  • Light and dark cotton apparel
  • Light and dark Polyester apparel
  • Light and dark blended apparel
  • Other related textiles such as caps, tote bags, and pillow cases

Stand-alone contour-cutting functionality also is ideal for:

  • Heat transfer apparel
  • Customized tote bags
  • Die-cut custom labels & decals
  • Signs, displays, and posters
  • Window graphics
  • Art & wall decor

Please Note: As with other types of printers regular cleaning maintenance is essential. Failing to perform regular maintenance can result in costly printer repairs. Performing cleanings at the end of each day is essential, especially for the capping station as it prevents a thin film of ink from forming which can inhibit proper capping. Using the recommended cleaning solution and cleaning swabs to perform these tasks will help maintain a healthy printer. Regular maintenance should be performed on a daily basis to ensure printer output doesn’t diminish.
