The SinoColor DTF-400 is an entry-level Direct-to-Film (DTF) printer designed for custom garment decoration. It is a compact solution with a printing width of 30 cm, making it suitable for small businesses and on-demand printing. The printer operates as a complete system, including an auto-powder shaking and curing unit. This integrated process prints directly onto a roll of DTF film, which is then coated with adhesive powder and passed through a heating element to cure the ink and powder. The final product is a ready-to-press transfer that can be applied to a variety of fabrics.
The SinoColor DTF-400 is equipped with two Epson F1080 printheads, which use a six-colour ink configuration (CMYK+W+W) to produce vibrant prints. The white ink is used as a base layer, allowing for printing on both light and dark-coloured garments. The machine includes a white ink circulation system to prevent pigment settling and a media tension system for accurate film feeding. The printer and shaker unit are synchronised, with the shaker automatically applying and curing the powder. The final cured film is then rolled onto a take-up system, ready for transfer. With its user-friendly design and integrated functionality, the DTF-400 provides an efficient workflow for producing high-quality DTF transfers for a range of apparel.
