The Sublicool DTF-C30-1B is a desktop A3 Direct-to-Film (DTF) printer designed for T-shirt and fabric transfer printing. It features an L1390 printhead, CMYK+WT pigment ink system, automatic operation and a compact desktop form factor for small shops or home use.
The unit supports A3-size prints with a maximum printable width of about 300 mm. It is intended for printing on DTF transfer film which is then transferred to textiles (cotton, polyester blends, leather, bags, etc.) using adhesive powder and heat pressing.
This model uses an L1390 printhead (single sprinkler head) and a CMYK+WT (color + white) pigment ink system to produce vivid full-color prints and opaque white underbases for dark garments.
The printer's dimensions are approximately 75 × 74 × 32.5 cm (L × W × H) and it weighs about 28 kg. It supports 110V/220V power input (confirm region-specific configuration with the supplier).
Typical workflow: 1) Print the design onto DTF transfer film using the printer, 2) Apply hot-melt adhesive powder to the wet printed film, 3) Bake/dry the powder so it adheres to the ink, 4) Heat-press the transfer onto the garment, and 5) Peel the film to reveal the finished print.
In addition to the printer and inks, you will need DTF transfer film (PET), hot-melt adhesive powder, a powder shaker/applicator, a powder curing oven or conveyor dryer, a heat press for transfer, and compatible maintenance fluids/cleaners. Full DTF kits are often available from the supplier.
Yes. White ink is prone to settling and clogging, so regular circulation, flushing and head maintenance routines are important. Follow the manufacturer's recommended cleaning schedule and use approved white-ink care procedures to maintain printhead health and white opacity.
The DTF-C30-1B is designed for fast desktop printing without sacrificing detail, delivering vibrant and durable results thanks to the L1390 printhead and pigment inks. Actual speed depends on resolution, RIP settings and job complexity—contact the supplier for performance benchmarks for your workflows.
The printer is compatible with common design programs and RIP solutions used in textile printing. Standard raster file formats such as PNG, TIFF and JPEG are typically used for DTF. Ask the supplier which drivers or RIP packages are included or recommended.
When printed, powdered, cured and heat-transferred correctly, DTF prints provide good durability and wash resistance comparable to other transfer methods. Longevity depends on adhesive/powder quality, curing and correct heat-press parameters—use recommended materials and settings for best results.
Core components carry a 1-year warranty (as stated). The product also comes with machinery test reports and video outgoing-inspection documentation. For full warranty terms, spare parts and after-sales support details, contact the supplier directly.
Yes. Its compact desktop design (about 75 × 74 × 32.5 cm, 28 kg) and automatic operation make it suitable for small garment shops, print shops, advertising businesses and serious home-based operations that require A3-sized DTF transfers.
Daily tasks typically include printhead purging/priming and wiping nozzle areas, while weekly/monthly tasks include deeper head cleaning, ink line checks, and circulation of white ink. Use manufacturer-recommended cleaning fluids and follow their maintenance checklist to avoid clogs and prolong printhead life.
The listing indicates one-stop procurement and a full set of DTF products are available. Package contents vary by seller—confirm with the vendor whether inks, adhesive powder, transfer film, powder applicator, curing oven/heat press and software are included or sold separately.
