Description
Start Direct-to-Film Printing for Less, Without Compromising on Quality!

If you've been looking for a direct-to-film printer that produces impressive durable transfers that is compact enough to fit through a standard-sized door and wont break the bank, the DTF-12H2 is the answer for you! The DTF-12H2 is easy to use, affordable, and can fit in almost any shop. This Basic Starter Package is a great way to get started with a high-quality professional DTF printer but does not include the added cost of the shaker/dryer unit. This lower cost of entry and smaller footprint, make starting a Direct-to-Film business accessible to businesses with a tighter start up budget or limited workspace.

Instead if the shaker/dryer unit, this package includes the DTF Shaker Kit for Powder application and the DTF Cure Tray that allows you to utilize your own high-quality heat press to cure the adhesive powder, saving you money. 

This printer arrives fully equipped with inks, powder, transfer film, complete software suite, and much more! With the included training, you have a complete business package, backed by industry-leading support every step of the way.


Let's break it down!
  • Ease of Use - With the purchase of this printer, training and support is included.
  • Affordability - This printer costs no more than an average direct-to-garment printer.
  • Size - For a high volume commercial machine, the DTF-12H2 is compact compared to other DTF printers.
  • Print Yield - The print width is up to 12" wide. 

This 2-head printer produces stunning, full-color transfers that:
  • Adhere to almost any garment
  • Are perfect for tough placement
  • Have just a 10 second initial press time
  • Last through dozens of wash cycles

How Does DTF Printing Work?

With a dual head design, the DTF-12H2 printer lays down the colors in a blend of C, M, Y, K, LC, and LM colors with the first print head. Then, it uses the second head to lay down a white ink underbase on top of the colors in perfect alignment, keeping any white from peeking out. 

Next, you apply the moisture seeking adhesive powder to the back of the transfers using the DTF Shaker Kit and then cure it utilizing the DTF Cure Tray. This is what gives DTF prints their signature soft touch. 

The PET transfer film being used in this process is translucent, allowing you to see the design underneath it when you go to heat press it onto a garment later on. The film is roll fed and designed for a hot peel, making it easier to speed up production. 


What Can You Print with the DTF-12H2?

  • T-Shirts
  • Brand Tags
  • Polos
  • Sweatshirts & Sweatpants
  • Backpacks
  • Aprons
  • Flags
  • Sports Uniforms
  • Company Dress Shirts
  • Running Shorts
  • Fishing & Boating Shirts


What Should You Purchase with Your Printer?

  • Finishing Sheets - Use these to add the final finish to your t-shirt. Once the print is on the garment, press one last time with a finishing sheet to get a nice finish that looks great on a shirt. (This is another product we have tested over and over again to find the perfect one.)
