Epson DTF Printing: FAQ
What is the difference between an Epson DTG printer and a DTF printer?
Direct-to-Garment (DTG) prints directly onto cotton fibers, requiring garment pretreatment. Direct-to-Film (DTF) prints onto a specialized transfer film coated with adhesive powder, allowing you to transfer vibrant graphics onto cotton, polyester, nylon, and dark synthetic blends without shirt pretreatment. Hybrid models like the Epson F1070 run both methods seamlessly.
Which Epson DTF printer is best for a small shop or startup?
The Epson SureColor F1070 DTG & DTF Printer is the top choice for small shops and startups. It offers an entry-level price point, a compact tabletop footprint, and commercial-grade output. For shops requiring wide-format, high-volume production, the 35" Epson SureColor G6070 is the industrial standard.
Do I need an automated shaker and dryer for my Epson DTF setup?
While entry-level shops can manually powder and cure individual film sheets using a standalone batch oven, high-volume production shops benefit significantly from an automated powder shaker/dryer like the DTF Station Miro 36 to automate TPU powder application and curing.
What ink do Epson DTF printers use?
Epson DTF printers utilize genuine Epson UltraChrome DF Inks. These inks are specifically formulated to prevent printhead clogging, deliver high stretchability, and maintain strict wash-fastness standards without cracking or peeling.
Does Lawson offer training and technical support for Epson DTF equipment?
Yes. As an Authorized Epson Premier Elite Reseller, Lawson Workhorse Group provides full warranty support, equipment setup, software calibration, and hands-on training (virtual or on-site) out of our facilities in St. Louis, MO, and Atlanta, GA.
