I've had this printer for 42 days, and I'm impressed! Despite hearing of DTF issues, this printer works flawlessly, with no clogs even without daily use. The print quality is amazing, and it's reliable. Though not the fastest, it's worth it. Procolored, thank you for an excellent printer. My small business appreciates it! Can't wait for more products from you. So far, so good.

Effective White Ink Circulation

The new designed white ink system integrates stirring, circulation and filtration functions. It greatly improves the white ink status and efficiency, evidently reducing print head clogging and prolonging a DTF printer’s lifespan.

Smooth & Buckling-Free Printing

The printing bed of F13 features fine holes that generate stable and consistent suction, keeping the film flat and preventing it from lifting or buckling during the printing work, result in smooth and high-quality transfers.

Printhead Auto-Cleaning

When printer is left on, it will automatically clean the printhead every 10 hours. If you are on vacation, please keep the printer powered on for regular self-cleaning (Consuming about 1ml ink per day.). And it is best to replace the ink cartridges with moisture-retaining cartridges.

Excellent Printer and Outstanding Customer Support!

We’ve been using the Procolored L1800 printer and couldn’t be happier with both the print quality and the support team behind it. The printer produces vibrant, consistent results — perfect for our business needs.

We recently experienced a minor issue with the printer, and the Procolored customer service team (Chelsia) went above and beyond to help us troubleshoot and resolve it quickly. They were patient, professional, and genuinely cared about getting us back up and running. Their communication was clear, and they followed up to make sure everything was working perfectly.

It’s refreshing to see a company that truly stands by its products and supports its customers with this level of dedication. Highly recommend both the L1800 printer and the Procolored team to anyone looking for reliable performance and top-notch service!

I love this printer!!

I upgraded to this printer a little over a year ago, and it has been a game-changer! I love that it prints larger, the quality seems much better than my last printer, and the maintenance doesn't seem too bad. I just had to replace my printhead; upon doing so, the engineer informed me, after some tests, that my waste ink pump was clogged. I received the part(s) within a week and contacted the engineer(s) for support. I couldn't be happier with how straightforward and seamless this process was.
I love how not only did they show me how to take this machine and pieces apart, but they also showed me how to put everything back the way it was. I will definitely continue to use this company. Thank you, Procolored and the Procolored Engineers!!! I am back in business!

Great printer & AMAZING level support

I don’t usually leave reviews, but I had to take a moment to recognize the exceptional support I received in getting my printer back up and running. From start to finish, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient.

They walked me through the troubleshooting process step by step, explained everything clearly, and made sure I understood what was going on. What really stood out was how genuinely committed they were to helping me—not just rushing to get me off the phone or close a ticket.

My printer is now working perfectly, and I’m beyond grateful for the help I received. It’s rare to find this level of customer care these days, and it made all the difference.

If you're considering this brand or service, know that you're in great hands. Highly recommended!
