JG Electronics will launch the new Prestige R1 DTF printer at the Sign Africa Expo in Durban, taking place 5-6 March at the Durban ICC, 9am-5pm. Visitors can also learn more about the company’s Miro 13 Max DTF powder shaker and oven.
The Prestige R1 DTF printer is an ideal entry-level A3 machine for garment printing enthusiasts who are starting out and looking to enter the DTF market on a budget. Featuring a single semi-industrial XP-600 printhead, this compact, direct-to-film desktop station provides the ideal balance of affordability, performance and reliability.
This system is perfect for smaller businesses and print shops. Like all DTF printers, it must be used for at least an hour daily. The printer has automatic cleaning, intelligent ink level monitoring and white ink circulation systems included. To make this unit more affordable than its bigger brothers, it uses a XP-600 semi-industrial printhead.
DTF is the best technology for printing non-synthetic white fabrics and all dark fabrics. The print is detailed with good colours and excellent wash durability. It is even being used to replace heat transfer vinyl because there is no cutting, no weeding, no tracing of images and it’s much cheaper to do, even counting the maintenance these printers require.
The printer takes eight minutes to print a full colour, full coverage A3 page, while adding of the powder, curing and transferring takes a maximum of two minutes in total. The systems include the best quality inks and film that the company 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. Fiery Cadlink DTF raster image processing (RIP) software is included with this system.
The automatic shaker oven is perfect for production volumes. If users are going to do small volumes, they can shake the powder onto the print by hand and use the infrared curing oven (optional extras) which is essential to ensure even curing. Some people put the print into an oven or heat press to cure but results are unpredictable and can result in the shirt being rejected.
The beauty of using the automatic shaker and curing unit is that the user can set the printer to print and do something else while the print is being made ready for transfer.
