Overview

Prestige R1 13" DTF Printer with Supplies (On-Site 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 is 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 plus supplies package, so it includes a complete starter kit with CMYK and white ink bottles, hot melt powder, cleaning solution, swabs, and a film roll. That makes it a good fit for users who want everything they need to start printing right away. 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 on-site training. Instead of being left to figure out setup and workflow on your own, you get in-person help that covers installation, software, ink circulation, printing, powder application, curing, and daily maintenance. For new users, that hands-on support 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 is where Lawson changes the experience. The R1 bundle includes on-site 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, the supplies, and the training in one package, which makes the whole process easier to understand and easier to launch.
