Unlock a new blue ocean of full material customization for T-shirts and more
This device precisely matches the needs of small and medium-sized batch production with a 30cm A3 format. It can be equipped with three mainstream print heads: I3200, I1600, and XP600. Combined with an integrated powder shaking system, it completely solves the pain points of traditional printing: "high cost for small orders, narrow material compatibility, and high operational barriers." It provides an "efficient, low-cost, full-scenario" solution for light-asset entrepreneurship and business expansion.
Multi-nozzle step configuration precisely matches different production needs.
The printhead, as the core component of a DTF printer, directly determines print efficiency and quality. This A3 DTF printer innovatively offers three Epson printhead options, covering all scenarios from entry-level to professional, achieving a precise balance between cost and performance:
The I3200-A1 professional-grade printhead features 3,200 nozzles arranged in an 8-row design, supporting four-color ink channels and Variable Droplet Technology (VSDT), enabling droplet sizes as low as 1.5 pl and output resolutions up to 1200 dpi. It boasts a print speed of up to 15 square meters per hour. Combined with the white ink primer function, it can create delicate watercolor gradients and intricate illustrations on dark T-shirts, with 40% higher color saturation than standard printheads. Using this configuration, a Chinese fashion studio prints an average of 200 custom T-shirts daily. The patterns have survived 50 washes without fading, and customer repurchase rates have increased by 35%.
The I1600-A1 advanced printhead features 1,600 nozzles arranged in a four-row pattern. Its resolution (600 dpi/2 lines) and droplet control technology match the I3200-A1, making it suitable for small and medium-sized devices with a 30-40cm format. While its print speed is slightly lower than the I3200-A1, its price is more competitive, and its durability can reach one to two years, making it a perfect match for the cost-effective needs of startups. A newly established gift shop chose this configuration, achieving full-color printing on T-shirts and canvas bags with minimal investment, and saw over 5,000 orders within three months.
The XP600 entry-level printhead features 1,080 nozzles and six lanes, supporting six color schemes, including CMYK+CM. While its resolution (360dpi/2 lanes) and durability (3-9 months) are slightly lower, it offers affordability and strong stability. It's ideal for studios or small-batch trial production. A handmade entrepreneur used it to create custom T-shirts, achieving a print cost of just 3 yuan per piece, a 60% reduction compared to outsourced printing. It also provides a fast response time of "same-day order acceptance, next-day delivery."
30cm A3 Format + Automatic System Ensures Efficiency and Precision
This equipment, built around a 30cm A3 format and equipped with automated powder shaking and curing systems, significantly improves production efficiency and reduces manual intervention costs.
Wide Format Adapts to Diverse Applications: The 30cm effective printing width accommodates mainstream custom sizes such as T-shirt cutouts, canvas bags, and children's clothing. It supports multi-image printing—simultaneously layout six children's T-shirt designs within an A3 format. Combined with the automatic slitting function, the processing time per piece is reduced to 30 seconds. After using this system, a custom maternity and baby shop increased its daily production capacity for children's T-shirts from 80 to 200 pieces, successfully accepting bulk orders from kindergartens.
Automatic Powder Shaking and Curing: Integrated negative pressure ink supply, automatic powder shaking, and UV LED curing systems enable printing, powder application, and curing to be completed in one go. The powder shaking mechanism precisely controls powder thickness (0.1-0.3mm) to avoid waste. The UV curing lamp power can be adjusted according to the material, ensuring a secure bond between the PET film and the fabric. Tests at a garment factory showed that this system improved white ink adhesion by 50%, stretched printed patterns by 20% without cracking, and reduced the scrap rate from 12% with traditional processes to 1%.
Intelligent control simplifies operation: Equipped with a Hanson motherboard control system and a 10-inch touchscreen, it features preset settings such as "T-shirt Mode" and "Canvas Mode." Users simply select the material type, and the machine automatically adjusts the parameters. Combined with high-precision guide rails and an aluminum alloy crossbeam, print registration deviation is controlled within ±0.1mm, completely eliminating the problem of pattern offset caused by manual powder shaking.
A market survey indicates that the global DTF printer market is expected to grow by 60% in 2025, with small and medium-format printers accounting for over 70%. This A3-format DTF printer, with its advantages of multiple printhead options, automated operation, and full material compatibility, is not only a top choice for entrepreneurs, but its flexible production capabilities also help traditional factories expand their custom business, driving the printing industry's transition from mass production to personalized services. It is poised to become a "strong dark horse" in the custom printing sector in 2025.
