The beginning of DTF printing: blessing or curse?
The appearance of DTF (Direct To Foil) technology became a huge success in the field of digital printing and personalized promotional gifts production, so much so that it has now almost completely replaced DTG (Direct To Garment) direct T-shirt printing.The secret of its success is that it combines the advantages of previously known transfer printing techniques – such as cost efficiency and more types of printable materials – with the durability of industrial screen printing.
Unfortunately, after the early success, disadvantages soon appeared. Thanks to its great popularity, countless (mainly Chinese) manufacturers launched their own DTF printers. Due to the early stage of the technology and often DIY solutions, the elimination of constant printer problems (ink drying, striped prints, etc.) in these models cost a lot of money and energy from the users. One of the typical examples of this is the converted Epson L1800 printers: you could see numerous professional Facebook group posts about its problems.
Finally a reliable brand: DTF Station
DTF Station is a dynamically developing company, which realized that digital DTF technology developed way too rapidly, resulting in extremely diverse brands and printers. Their mission is to develop systems that eliminate the typical errors that occur with DTF technology. This is why they built a number of unique intelligent functions into their printers:
• WIMS: White ink circulation to prevent dryout. WIMS is a more advanced, better system than general white ink circulation systems, as it guarantees 100% ink stirring from the print head to the ink cartridges.
• Passive Auto-Cleaning: When the printer is left on, it automatically cleans the printhead every four hours, which consumes hardly any consumables.
• Active Auto-Cleaning: The printer can stop and clean the printhead during set intervals (even durint printing). It can be used depending on environmental conditions and workload.
• Auto-Wet Capping: In order to prevent the ink from drying out, the print head is not only protected by the rubber rim of the cap station, but it also sits in the cleaning liquid during idle time.
• Head-Strike Sensor: A built-in sensor protects the print head.
• Auto Ink Alert System: Automatically notifies you when ink is running low.
• Automatic Film Sensor: Automatically stops the printing process when DTF film runs out.
Complex professional support
In addition to these intelligent functions increasing the printer's life expestancy and making maintenance easier, another great advantage of the brand is the complex professional support they provide. It is unique in the market, even market-leading premium brands don't provide such great support.
They provide detailed user manual, maintenance guide and tutorial videos for all of their printer models, covering every detail you need to know.
In addition to these materials, Signdepot provides on-site training and installation plus Full Service even after the warrranty period.
Unique online DTF support
DTF Station's online technical support is also unique on the market. After selling thousands of printers, they have complex solutions for all technical questions, which are managed in a user-accessible system.
Every DTF Station machine sold comes with the online "DTF Online support" communication channel free of charge, where you can get immediate response from one of 15 service technician colleagues provides in case of an error or question.
The goal of this platform is to work in a transparent system as if the user could look "behind the curtains" at a manufacturer, instead of covering up the problems.

The system is also supported by AI, allowing the user to get an answer immediately.
