A3 format DTF printer with multi-nozzle
Designed specifically for printing on textiles such as T-shirts and hoodies, this printer integrates three mainstream printhead options: I3200, I1600, and XP600. Coupled with a fully automatic powder shaking and curing system, it thoroughly resolves the pain points of traditional printing, such as high cost for small orders, difficult printhead matching, and complex manual operations. It provides a factory-level solution for textile printing that delivers high efficiency, high quality, and low cost.
Multi-nozzle step-by-step adaptation balances efficiency and cost requirements.
The printhead, as the core component of a DTF printer, directly determines printing accuracy and production efficiency. This factory-grade printer innovatively offers three mainstream printhead configurations, covering all scenarios from entry-level pilot production to mass production, achieving a precise balance between performance and cost:
I3200 Professional Printhead: The Efficiency Benchmark for Mass Production
Equipped with the Epson I3200-A1 printhead, it boasts 3,200 nozzles arranged in an 8-row design, supports dual-channel ink supply for CMYK and white inks, achieves a minimum droplet size of 1.5 pl, and achieves a maximum resolution of 1440 dpi. It boasts a print speed of up to 15 square meters per hour. With a 30cm print format, it can simultaneously print six adult T-shirts. A garment factory using this printhead to fulfill e-commerce platform T-shirt orders has achieved a daily output exceeding 1,200 pieces (10 hours), a threefold increase in efficiency compared to traditional screen printing. Furthermore, it achieves 98% white ink coverage uniformity, and the color saturation of dark T-shirts is 40% higher than with standard printheads, reducing customer return rates from 12% to 1.5%.
I1600 Advanced Printhead: A Cost-Effective Choice for Small and Medium-Sized Production
Although the I1600 printhead has 1600 nozzles, it maintains 600dpi high-precision output and variable droplet technology, achieving a print speed of 10 square meters per hour. The equipment procurement cost is 35% lower than the I3200 configuration. A cultural and creative studio uses it to produce T-shirts in a national trend style. It can simultaneously print four children's T-shirts within a 30cm format. The cost per print is only 2.8 yuan, and the price is 39.9 yuan, with a gross profit margin exceeding 90%. Testing has shown that the prints achieve wash fastness rating 4 (GB/T 3921-2008 standard), with no cracking or fading after 50 machine washes, fully meeting daily wear requirements.
The XP600 Entry-Level Printhead: A Low-Barrier Choice for Startup Trial Production
The XP600 printhead is renowned for its high stability and affordable price. While its droplet size is slightly larger (4-6 pl), it's sufficient for basic printing needs like cartoons and text, reducing overall equipment costs by 25% compared to the I1600 configuration. A novice entrepreneur used it to launch a custom T-shirt business. With a "one-piece minimum print run" and no plate-making fees, they were able to secure small-volume orders for campus clubs and corporate team-building events, achieving profitability within three months and a payback period of just 45 days. Compatible with mainstream DTF inks, replacement costs are low, further reducing the risk of trial and error in startups.
30cm Precision Format, Suitable for Major Textile Sizes
The 30cm effective printing width, precisely designed based on market research, perfectly covers mainstream sizes, including adult T-shirt cutouts (regular width 28cm), children's T-shirts (30cm x 40cm), and sweatshirt sleeves. Printing can be completed on individual cutouts without stitching, eliminating pattern misalignment.
Fully automatic powder shaking and curing eliminates tedious manual operations.
The integrated negative pressure automatic powder shaking system and UV-LED curing lamp automate the entire "printing - powder application - curing" process. The powder shaking mechanism precisely controls powder thickness (0.1-0.3mm), eliminating the problems of powder leaks and accumulation caused by manual shaking, and increases powder utilization from 60% to 90%. The UV curing lamp power automatically adjusts from 30-80W according to printing speed, ensuring a secure bond between the white ink and the fabric. After curing, the pattern achieves 5B adhesion (according to the 100-grid test standard).
Intelligent temperature control and ink path protection ensure continuous production.
The built-in dual-path temperature control system monitors the printhead and ink path temperatures in real time (within a control range of 25-35°C), preventing clogging caused by temperature fluctuations. The white ink circulation system automatically stirs the ink every 30 seconds to prevent ink settling, reducing printhead clogging by 90% compared to traditional equipment.
Aligning with industry trends, driving digital upgrades in the printing industry
The textile printing industry is currently transitioning from mass production to personalized customization with small-batch, quick-response solutions. The global DTF printer market is projected to grow by 65% in 2025, with factory-grade small and medium-format devices expected to account for over 70%. This 30cm A3-format DTF printer perfectly aligns with this trend. Its multi-printhead compatibility lowers the barrier to entry for factories, its automated system improves production efficiency, and its comprehensive material compatibility expands business capabilities. It perfectly fills the market gap of high-end equipment costs and weak performance at the lower end.
