The Full Brief

About This Product

DTF is what replaced weeding. You print the design onto film, apply powder, cure it, and press - no cutting, no picking tiny letters out with a scalpel, no colour limit. It works on cotton, polyester, blends, dark garments and light ones without changing your process, which is exactly what vinyl could never do.

"No-cut" is the point: a fourteen-colour photographic design presses in the same time as a one-colour logo. For anyone currently turning down complex artwork because weeding it would take an afternoon, this is the machine that changes what you can quote.

30cm width at KSh 800,000 - starter width for garment transfers
60cm width at KSh 1,200,000 - production width, more transfers per metre of film
No weeding, no cutting, unlimited colours
Works on cotton, polyester, blends, dark and light garments

Both are import orders on a 30-50 day lead time, tested before shipping, with free operator training on powder, curing temperature and press settings - the three variables that decide whether a transfer survives washing.

What it earns

What you can make with it

These are jobs Colorshade runs on this equipment, not a list of things it could theoretically do. Ask us what any one of them pays before you commit.

Full-colour photographic t-shirts

Fourteen-colour artwork presses in the same time as a one-colour logo. This is work vinyl simply cannot take.

Cotton garments and dark fabrics

Where sublimation fails completely. White ink underneath means black t-shirts print properly.

Small-run and one-off garments

No screen setup and no minimum order, so a single custom shirt is still profitable.

Team kit with names and numbers

Full-colour numbering and lettering without weeding a single character.

Workwear and uniforms

Logos onto cotton drill, overalls and dust coats that sublimation cannot touch.

Selling transfers to other shops

You can print and sell the pressed-ready film itself to smaller shops with only a heat press - a wholesale line most people overlook.

Before you buy

What it costs to run

The price on this page is what you pay once. This is what the machine costs you afterwards — the part most suppliers leave you to find out on your own.

Consumables DTF ink including white, DTF film, and adhesive powder. Three consumables rather than one - budget accordingly.

Cost per transfer Driven by how much of the film you actually fill. Gang your designs up and the cost per shirt falls sharply.

Power Mains supply, plus the curing heat.

Wear parts The printhead. White ink is the demanding one and it must be circulated daily or it settles and blocks.

Routine maintenance Daily white-ink circulation and nozzle checks. This is the single discipline that decides whether the machine lasts.

Where it beats vinyl No weeding time. On complex artwork the labour saving is larger than the ink cost, which is the entire commercial argument.

Straight answers

Questions buyers actually ask

What does "no-cut" actually mean?

With vinyl you cut the design and then pick the unwanted material out by hand - weeding. DTF prints the design onto film, you powder and cure it, and press. Nothing is cut and nothing is weeded, so a photographic design takes the same time as a simple logo.

Will it print on cotton?

Yes - cotton, polyester, blends, dark and light, without changing your process. That is exactly what sublimation cannot do, and it is the main reason to move up to DTF.

30cm or 60cm?

30cm is the starter width. 60cm is production width and fits far more transfers per metre of film, which is where the cost per shirt actually falls. If garment printing is already your main trade, the 60cm pays back the difference faster than people expect.

Do I still need a heat press?

Yes. DTF prints the transfer; a press applies it. A flatbed press is the right partner for garments. We can quote both together.

Should I buy this or a cutting plotter and vinyl?

A plotter is a fraction of the cost and it is excellent for bold lettering, numbers and single-colour work. Buy DTF when you are turning away full-colour and photographic artwork because weeding it would take an afternoon. Many shops run both.

What goes wrong with these machines?

White ink, almost always. It settles if it is not circulated, and a blocked head is expensive. The free training covers the daily routine, and we are reachable on WhatsApp afterwards - which matters most in your first month.
