  • 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.

The LWG Difference

Lawson’s R1 package stands out because it includes on-site training, which is especially valuable for beginners who need hands-on help with installation, setup, and workflow. Training reduces the learning curve and helps new users avoid common mistakes when they first move into DTF printing.

In addition, Lawson emphasizes maintenance assurance with white ink circulation, auto-cleaning features, and protective sensors, all of which help keep the printer running smoothly and reduce downtime. Combined with support and supplies, this makes the R1 a more complete “start printing and keep printing” solution than a bare-bones machine-only purchase.
