What features are included with the Prestige R1 13" DTF Printer to ensure production reliability?

The Prestige R1 brings industrial-grade automation features to a compact desktop footprint, ensuring maximum up-time for beginner custom apparel shops:

• Epson F1080 Printhead: Delivers crisp, high-quality graphic resolution at an affordable price point.
• White Ink Management System (WIMS): A timed white ink stirring mechanism that continuously circulates white chemistry to prevent nozzle clogging and settling.
• Passive & Active Auto-Cleaning: Automatically executes printhead maintenance every 4 hours when left on, or at user-defined intervals during active print runs.
• Advanced Sensor Systems: Includes a built-in Head Strike Sensor to protect the printhead from physical surface damage, an Auto-Ink Alert system, and an Automatic Film Sensor that pauses printing if media runs out.

The perfect solution for custom apparel startups and boutique fulfillment lines, the Prestige R1 features a 13-inch maximum printing width and speeds up to 14 sq ft per hour.

Its versatile DTF adhesive system creates durable, high-stretch transfers that apply flawlessly to cotton, polyester, PU, caps, tote bags, and more.
