Overview
Procolored L1800 DTF printer (Direct to Film printer) is a high-quality and easy-to-use film transfer printer. It delivers industrial-print-quality output at impressive production speeds, and it's an ideal t-shirt printer with the capability of printing on multiple fabric substrates (cotton, poly, blends and more) and different fabric colors (even for fabric in black).
Considering all the combination of price, machine configuration and user experience, we highly recommend A3 DTF printers as the best DTF printers for small business especially in t-shirt customization.
DTF printing is an unique printing technology that first prints designs onto special films then transfers them onto garments. It is classified as a kind of heat transfer printing that can last as long as traditional silkscreen prints.
Features
Fully Upgraded Roller Feeder – reducing the paper jam problem of traditional printers
Printhead Auto-Cleaning - When printer is left on, it will automatically clean the printhead every 10 hours, consuming about 1ml ink per day.
White Ink Mix and Circulation – minimizing print head clogging possibility and greatly extending print head lifetime

Film adsorption and ink collection – ensuring the printing work goes on smoothly
Professional Clothing Printing – high resolution and impressive color fidelity, of industrial-print quality
Easy-to-use and Beginner-friendly – no pretreatment is required, streamlined printing process especially for printing shop businesses

keeping the film flat and preventing it from lifting or buckling during the printing work,
result in smooth and high-quality transfers.

If you are on vacation, please keep the printer powered on for regular self-cleaning (Consuming about 1ml ink per day.).

Impressed with the Reliability and Quality of Procolored's Printer
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.

Exploring New Possibilities with My L1800 Printer: A Successful Experience
I've been actively printing with my L1800 13" printer for a little over a month and it's going well. I wanted to try the DTF prints on other surfaces besides shirts and it has been a success. Best wishes everyone!

Reliable and Profitable: My Year-Long Experience with the L1800 Printer
I've had the L1800 printer for over a year, and it's fantastic! It's a workhorse that's already paid for itself. I maintain it and print daily, and the color vibrancy is always top-notch. Our customers love the quality. We're planning to upgrade to a 22-inch printer soon. Hope this helps those who are skeptical!

Exceptional Support and Impressive Results with the DTF Procolored Machine
I discovered the DTF Procolored machine a few months ago and I'm delighted with the results.

Now, everything is fully operational. Highly satisfied! 😍❤
