Description

The PRESTIGE A3 DTF system is the ideal production system for business use. It’s an industrial-quality printer and is manufactured for DTF specifically. IT IS NOT A CONVERTED EPSON. It has dual Epson I1600 industrial-grade print heads for maximum longevity at an affordable price. It is much faster than the R1 printer (by a factor of 400-650%.)

The I1600 head means it is up to 10x faster than a converted Epson with far better colours. Being industrial-grade they typically last 3-4 times longer than non-industrial heads used on cheaper printers.

This printer its own automatic cleaning as needed (assuming it’s left on and connected to an inverter during load shedding). There is however still some user maintenance required (as with all DTF printers).

As with the A4 unit, it should not be operated in an environment with a room temperature higher than 30C and relative humidity should be in the 35-65% range.

This printer is suitable to 2,000+ T-shirts a month based on a print size of 30 x 42cm. Our systems include the best quality inks and film we can get along with a high-definition powder with a particle size of under 80 microns to ensure all the fine detail in the print transfers and the print is more flexible which is essential on sports garments. neoStampa Delta DTF raster image processing (RIP) software is included with this system.

What Does It Cost To Print?
Total cost of around R30 per running meter which is dirt cheap compared to any other digital print technology. Maintenance costs – To cover the costs of maintenance including eventual print head replacement we suggest adding R 5.10 to each print.

Even adding in the maintenance cost this is a fraction of what just the paper costs excluding inks for any other technology to print a dark shirt and none of them come even close to the durability of DTF. Just the paper for a white toner laser, by comparison, is over R 60 for A3.

DTF does require some limited hands-on maintenance so it’s not suitable for people who don’t want to get ink on their hands, change out ink pipes and so on. The printer should be used often to prevent the head from blocking but should it not be used often as long as it’s left on it will auto-maintain itself as long as the environment it’s in is below 30C.

The automatic shaker oven is perfect for this system and we don’t recommend the separate IR oven. Due to the speed of the machine, not using the automatic shaker oven curing unit with auto take-up roller and air filtration you will obliterate the benefits of this faster machine.
