DTF Printers & Starter Packages

Turnkey DTF Printing Systems: Standalone Printers & Complete Bundles

Whether you are expanding an established garment production shop or launching a new apparel business, Lawson Workhorse Group (LWG) provides flexible DTF configurations to fit your exact production scale. Choose between a standalone DTF printer or upgrade to a turnkey DTF startup bundle that includes everything you need to start printing custom transfers immediately.

Direct-to-Film (DTF) technology allows print shops to produce vibrant, durable, full-color transfers for 100% cotton, polyester blends, performance wear, nylon, and denim without requiring pre-treatment or complex color separations.

Choose Your Configuration: Machine Only vs. Complete Package
• Standalone DTF Printer (Printer Only): Ideal for established print operations that already own inline curing ovens, powder shakers, fume extractors, and RIP software licenses.
• Complete Turnkey DTF Starter Bundle: Eliminates guesswork by bundling the printer with a compatible inline automated powder shaker-dryer or batch curing oven, air purifier, RIP software (Digital Factory / neoStampa), and a starter supply kit (CMYK+White ink set, hot-melt powder, and transfer film).

Built for Every Scale: Desktop to High-Volume Production
1. Compact Desktop Systems (13" Print Width): Designed for boutiques, custom garment startups, and space-constrained print shops. Desktop setups like the Prestige R1 13" DTF Printer deliver high-resolution commercial output in a compact footprint and pair easily with batch ovens like the Phoenix Air.
2. Automated Roll-to-Roll Systems (24" to 36" Print Width): Built for continuous multi-shift production and high-volume order fulfillment. High-production models like the Prestige XL2 Pro 24" DTF Printer integrate directly with automated inline powder shaker-dryers to process transfer film rolls with zero manual powdering.

Why Buy DTF Equipment from Lawson Workhorse Group?
• Included Hands-On Training: Every printer and bundle comes with personalized training (available virtually or in-person at our St. Louis, MO, or Atlanta, GA facilities) covering workflow, maintenance, and color calibration.
• Lifetime US-Based Technical Support: Get direct phone and remote-desktop support from experienced technicians based out of our St. Louis headquarters and regional service hubs in Atlanta, Phoenix, Orlando, and Des Moines.
• Flexible Equipment Financing: Work with our financing partners to secure low monthly payment plans and lease-to-own options tailored for startups and growing businesses.

Can I buy just the DTF printer, or do I have to purchase a full bundle?

You can choose either option on this page. Select "Printer Only" if you already have curing ovens, powder shakers, and RIP software, or select "Complete Bundle" to get an all-in-one setup with a powder shaker, air purifier, software, supplies, and full hands-on training.

What is included in a complete DTF startup package?

turnkey Lawson DTF bundle includes a commercial DTF printer (13", 24", or 36" width), specialized RIP software (neoStampa or Digital Factory), a curing oven or automated inline powder shaker-dryer, an air filtration unit, CMYK+White inks, hot-melt powder, film rolls, and hands-on training.

What fabrics and materials can I print on with DTF transfers?

Unlike Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing, DTF transfers apply cleanly to 100% cotton, 100% polyester, cotton-poly blends, tri-blends, nylon, canvas, denim, and performance sports apparel regardless of garment color.

Do I need an automated powder shaker or is a batch curing oven enough?

Entry-level or low-volume shops (such as 13" Prestige R1 setups) work well with standalone batch ovens like the Phoenix Air. High-volume continuous roll-to-roll production benefits from an automated powder shaker-dryer to eliminate manual labor.

Is equipment training and technical support included with my purchase?

Yes. Every printer and bundle includes hands-on virtual or in-person training at our St. Louis, MO, or Atlanta, GA facilities, plus lifetime US-based technical support from our main headquarters and regional hubs in Phoenix, Orlando, and Des Moines.

Does Lawson offer financing for DTF equipment packages?

Yes. We partner with top equipment financing institutions to offer flexible monthly payment plans and lease-to-own options for both new startups and expanding commercial print shops.
