Turnkey DTF Printing Systems: Standalone Printers & Complete Bundles

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Q: What is included in a complete DTF startup package?
A: A 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.

Q: What fabrics and materials can I print on with DTF transfers?
A: 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.

Q: Do I need an automated powder shaker or is a batch curing oven enough?
A: 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.

Q: Is equipment training and technical support included with my purchase?
A: 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.

Q: Does Lawson offer financing for DTF equipment packages?
A: 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.
