I3200 A3 DTF Thermal Transfer Printer with Powered Vibrator
This device is designed specifically for thermal transfer printing scenarios. It can print high-definition patterns on transfer film using DTF technology without pre-treating the fabric. A powered vibrator ensures even ink adhesion, making it suitable for roll-to-roll mass production of various fabrics, including canvas, cotton, polyester, and blends. It completely resolves the industry pain points of traditional thermal transfer printing, such as "large fabric limitations, high costs for small batches, and poor pattern adhesion," and provides "efficient, flexible, and high-quality" customized solutions for the fields of apparel, home textiles, and fabric art and cultural creativity.
I3200 Printhead + A3 Format: Optimizing Precision and Application Compatibility
As the core performance support of the device, the combination of the I3200 printhead and A3 format directly overcomes the capacity and size limitations of small and medium-format DTF printers, perfectly meeting the general printing needs of apparel fabrics:
I3200 Printhead: High-Speed, High-Definition Dual-Inline
Equipped with the industrial-grade I3200 printhead, boasting a native resolution of 1200 dpi and support for variable droplet control from 3.5pl to 14pl, it accurately reproduces the finest details of garment patterns (such as cartoon lines on T-shirts, embroidery-style textures, and photographic portraits) while also achieving efficient batch output. It can print 18-22 square meters of transfer film per hour. Converted to A3-sized transfer film (suitable for front and back designs on adult apparel), this translates to an hourly output of 60-80 sheets, double the efficiency of conventional DTF printers (30-40 sheets per hour). A custom clothing studio reported that, previously using small printhead equipment, it could only complete 150 custom T-shirts per day. After switching to this equipment, daily production capacity increased to 350 pieces, allowing them to meet peak order volumes during peak season without the need for additional equipment. Customer satisfaction ratings rose from 82% to 98%.
A3 Format: Covers Mainstream Apparel Pattern Sizes
The A3 format (297mm × 420mm) accommodates all common sizes, from small children's clothing patterns (15cm × 20cm) to full-back adult clothing patterns (35cm × 40cm). For example, when printing small cartoons on the chest of a children's sweatshirt, three to four patterns can be printed simultaneously. For a large pattern on the back of an adult denim jacket, transfer film printing can be completed in one go without splicing, eliminating pattern misalignment and color gaps caused by splicing. A trendy brand processing factory uses this equipment to produce full-back printed sweatshirts. The pattern integrity is improved by 90% compared with the splicing process, the customer rework rate is reduced from 15% to 2%, and the transfer film consumables cost of a single piece of clothing is reduced by 12% (reducing splicing waste).
Powered by a power shaker, ink adheres more evenly and enhances design durability.
Unlike standard DTF printers that rely on manual shaking of the transfer film, this popular printer features a built-in power shaker. This utilizes high-frequency micro-vibration technology to optimize the ink-to-transfer film bond, fundamentally improving the adhesion and durability of the design.
Even adhesion, eliminating graininess and white spots.
The power shaker micro-vibrates the transfer film at a high frequency (500 times/minute) during the printing process, ensuring that DTF-specific inks (especially white ink) evenly penetrate the transfer film coating, eliminating graininess or white spots caused by ink buildup. A home textile company used this device to print canvas pillow patterns. The vibration treatment resulted in more uniform color and no "snowflake" defects in the white base area. The product qualification rate increased from 91% to 99.5%.
Enhanced adhesion and a 30% improvement in wash fastness.
High-frequency vibration also promotes molecular bonding between the ink and the transfer film. Combined with subsequent high-temperature hot stamping (150-180°C, 15-20 seconds), the adhesion of the pattern to the fabric is significantly enhanced. Testing showed that patterns printed on pure cotton T-shirts showed no fading or cracking after 20 washes. When the fabric was stretched, the pattern deformed slightly with the fibers (with an elasticity of up to 15%), resulting in a 30% improvement in wash fastness compared to patterns without vibration treatment. A sportswear brand used this device to produce T-shirts. The patterns remained vibrant after three months of daily wear and repeated washing by athletes, and the brand's repurchase rate increased from 60% to 90%.
Full-material roll-to-roll printing breaks material limitations.
Traditional DTF printers mostly print in single-sheet mode and have limited fabric compatibility (for example, heavy canvas and stretch fabrics). However, this device, through its roll-to-roll conveying system and optimized ink formulation, achieves "full-material compatibility and roll-to-roll mass production," significantly improving production efficiency and business scope.
Full-material compatibility, no pre-treatment required.
No pre-treatment required, such as washing or coating, is required for printing on a wide range of fabrics, including cotton, polyester, cotton blends, canvas, knits, and leather. Printing on pure cotton T-shirts creates a soft, breathable image without stiffness. Printing on canvas bags allows the ink to penetrate the canvas fibers, making the image durable and scratch-resistant. Printing on stretch sports fabrics allows the image to stretch up to 20% without cracking, completely resolving the fabric limitations of traditional thermal transfer printing. A cultural and creative studio previously only accepted pure cotton orders using single-sheet DTF equipment. After switching to this equipment, their business expanded to include canvas cultural and creative products, stretch hoodies, and leather accessories, adding five new order types and increasing monthly revenue by 65%.
Roll-to-roll mass production, further improving efficiency
Equipped with a roll-to-roll automatic conveyor system, it supports transfer film rolls with a maximum diameter of 30cm, enabling continuous "print-and-rewind" operation. This eliminates the need for frequent manual changes of individual transfer films and allows for continuous printing of over 150 square meters of transfer film in a single eight-hour shift, a 40% improvement in efficiency compared to single-sheet printing. A large apparel company uses this equipment to mass-produce employee T-shirts, achieving a daily output of 800 pieces in roll-to-roll mode, a 50% increase compared to traditional single-sheet printing. Furthermore, by reducing manual intervention, pattern position deviation has been reduced from 5% to 0.3%, and material waste has been reduced by 25%.
As the apparel and textile industry's demand for "personalization, small batches, and fast delivery" continues to escalate, this popular I3200 A3 format DTF thermal transfer printer, with its high-efficiency I3200 printhead, the quality assurance of the power vibrator, and flexible roll-to-roll adaptability, not only lowers the technical and cost barriers to thermal transfer customization, but also, with its "efficiency + flexibility + high quality" features, helps companies quickly respond to market demand, accelerating the transformation of the apparel and textile customization industry from "mass production" to "personalized intelligent manufacturing," becoming a "hot-selling productivity tool" in the industry.
