DTF Shakers & Dryers: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of a DTF Shaker and Dryer?
A DTF Shaker and Dryer is an essential part of the Direct-to-Film workflow. After a DTF printer prints your design onto the film, the shaker automatically applies adhesive powder to the wet ink and shakes off the excess. The built-in dryer then cures the powder, turning it into a solid adhesive layer ready for heat pressing.
Do I need a shaker if I only have a small curing oven?
It depends on your production volume. A manual setup using a Phoenix Air Curing Oven is great for low-volume or sheet-based printing. however, if you are using a roll-to-roll printer, an automated system like the Seismo L24R is necessary to keep up with the printer's speed and ensure a consistent application.
What is the difference between the "Miro" and "Seismo" series?
While both are high-quality lines from DTF Station, they cater to different needs:
- Miro Series: Typically designed for compact spaces and specific printer pairings, such as the Miro 16" Shaker for desktop setups or the Miro 36 Shaker for wide-format Epson printers.
- Seismo Series: Offers a range of solutions from the Seismo S20 Sheet Powder Applicator for individual sheets to industrial-grade roll-to-roll units like the Seismo V36R.
Does these units require special electrical or ventilation?
Most industrial dryers and curing ovens, such as the Phoenix Air Curing Oven, feature built-in air purifiers to manage fumes. However, larger units may have specific power requirements (voltage/amps). We recommend checking the specific product page for electrical specifications before installation.
Can I buy these as part of a complete system?
Yes! Lawson offers cost-saving DTF Printer bundles that include the printer, shaker/dryer, and necessary supplies to get your business started immediately.
