Overview – Prestige R1 13" DTF Printer with Virtual Training

The Prestige R1 is Lawson’s entry-level 13" DTF printer for shops that want to bring direct-to-film in-house without jumping into a larger production machine. It’s designed for beginners, small apparel shops, and decorators who want professional results from a compact desktop setup. With a maximum print width of 13 inches and speeds up to 14 square feet per hour, it gives you a practical way to start producing transfers for garments, bags, and other decorated goods.

This is the printer-only package, so it focuses on the core machine plus live virtual training rather than a full starter supply kit. That makes it a good fit for users who already have some DTF consumables, or who want to choose their own film, powder, and inks separately. The printer is built to produce vibrant transfers for cotton, polyester, blends, and more while keeping the footprint and learning curve manageable.

What makes this bundle especially useful is the training. Instead of being left to figure out setup and workflow on your own, you get live virtual help that covers installation, software, ink circulation, printing, powder application, curing, and daily maintenance. For new users, that guidance makes the R1 much easier to launch and operate.

The Lawson Difference

A lot of entry-level DTF printers are sold as hardware only, which means the customer still has to figure out the setup, workflow, and troubleshooting on their own. That’s where Lawson changes the experience. The R1 bundle includes live virtual training, so your team gets help with installation, software, white ink handling, film loading, powder application, and daily maintenance.

The bigger difference is the support behind the machine. Lawson’s digital printing team helps you get comfortable with the printer and the process, so you are not buying a box and hoping it works out. For newer shops, that kind of support is often the difference between a machine that sits idle and a machine that starts paying for itself.

This bundle is a good fit for shops that want a controlled first step into DTF. It gives you the printer and the training in one package, which makes the whole process easier to understand and easier to launch.
