How to Use / Process Overview

The DTF process offers a clear and efficient workflow:

1. Design & RIP: Finalize your artwork (including the white layer) and process the file through the RIP software (AcroRip) on your Windows PC.

2. Print to Film: Print the design directly onto the specialized PET transfer film using the printer’s CMYK and White DTF inks.

3. Powder & Cure: Manually apply DTF adhesive powder to the wet ink on the film. Remove the excess, then heat-cure the film (via a curing oven or heat press without pressure) until the powder melts and adheres.

4. Heat Transfer: Place the cured film onto your garment and press using a commercial heat press machine.

5. Peel & Finish: Carefully peel the film away (the peel method depends on the film used) to reveal your permanent, full-color design.

Common Questions (FAQ)

• Q: Is the L1800 model better for POD than the 1390 model?

  A: The L1800 platform is generally preferred for commercial use due to its reputation for greater stability and endurance compared to the standard 1390 board, making it a reliable choice for consistent order fulfillment.

• Q: Why is Windows OS required for this printer?

  A: The specialized RIP software (AcroRip/EraRip), which is essential for managing color profiles and the crucial white ink layers in DTF printing, is currently only compatible with Windows operating systems (XP/7/8/10/11).

• Q: What extra equipment do I need besides the printer?

  A: To complete the DTF process, you will require DTF inks, PET transfer film, DTF adhesive powder, and a commercial-grade heat press machine for curing and application.

• Q: How does the White Ink Circulation system impact print quality?

  A: By preventing heavy white ink pigments from settling, the system ensures a uniform distribution of white ink across the printhead, leading to a consistently dense and opaque white base layer.

• Q: How durable are DTF prints against washing?

  A: When cured and pressed correctly, DTF prints are highly durable, soft to the touch, and maintain their color and flexibility across many wash cycles, making them suitable for everyday wear and retail.
