Today, I will tell you about the price and specifications of DTF printers that I have researched.

 

I. Price and specifications _ DTF Printer Price and Specification Research

1. Basic specifications and equipment consumable prices _DTF Printer Price and Specification Research

 

The print heads were:

• Initially, most printers used the XP600 or i3200 heads.
• Now, the i1600 print head seems to be the most commonly used.
• The XP600 heads I initially used were incompatible with DTF white ink, causing the ink lines inside the head to burst after about two months of use.
• For this reason, I now primarily use the i3200 or i1600 heads.

 

Equipment prices:

• A unit with two XP600 heads costs approximately $3,400.
• A unit with two I3200 heads costs approximately $4,800.
• Shakers range from inexpensive ones around $400 to more expensive ones around $1,200.

 

Ink prices are approximately $20-$25, Hot melt Powder is $7-$10, and most also come with film.

 

 

 

2. Manufacturer or a distributor? _DTF Printer Price and Specification Research

In the table above, Company D and Company T

• Both companies appear to be manufacturers, and their prices were nearly identical.
• Company D provided the requested information in one table, and they seemed to have extensive experience in dealing with them.
• Company T received the price on the condition that they would purchase three units at once, and I didn’t understand why they were forcing me to purchase three units without any internal verification.

 

Company O received the relevant information via email from someone else.

• Many of the product photos in the email were broken, so I searched for the company information on Alibaba just in case.
• The majority of the products were consumables rather than equipment, and they seemed to be more of a consumables distributor than an equipment manufacturer.
• If a company specializing in consumables sells equipment, it’s difficult to get after-sales service if a problem arises.
• For this reason, I excluded Company O from consideration, even though it was cheaper.

 

The last price I was given by a partner I knew was:

• While the equipment price was higher than other companies,
• the same model was found on Alibaba, and the price was lower than the price listed there.

 

When selecting equipment from China, one of the most important factors is to distinguish between a manufacturer and a distributor.

For this reason, Company O was excluded.

 

II. Reasons for abandoning group purchases of DTF printers _DTF Printer Price and Specification Research  

 

1. I considered group buying, but _DTF Printer Price and Specification Research

Our CEO, who uses our UV printers, requested a group purchase, and we researched several DTF printer suppliers.

We didn’t simply copy and paste Alibaba information; we organized the data by exchanging emails with each person in charge.

For our first group purchase, we didn’t consider profit (except for a few percent commission), so we opened all prices.

Since the prices were open, even if supplies were to be resold, we planned to add a certain margin and proceed with group purchases whenever necessary.

 

2. But _DTF Printer Price and Specification Research

 

Those looking to purchase equipment through a group purchase prioritized price.

As the equipment supplier, I was responsible for after-sales service, so I prioritized the following:

• Is the company trustworthy?
• A product manual is rarely available. Will the staff be available to answer questions during initial installation or provide proactive support in case of problems?
• Will the staff be responsible and responsive in the event of a problem?
• Will the print quality be adequate?
• Is the RIP capable of capturing ICC profiles, meaning color adjustments are possible?
• Is the after-sales service convenient in case of printer problems?

Does the equipment function properly? Is the quality acceptable? Is there easy access to support? Is the after-sales service convenient? These were my priorities.

Even if the equipment was expensive, as a supplier, I prioritized its safety after-sales service.

 

However, there was a difference in perspective.

Those who participated in the group purchase seemed to prioritize cost-effectiveness, assuming, “If a problem arises, the importer (me, of course) will take care of it!”

Since this was my first time with this product, I prioritized “print quality, product stability, and after-sales service” over cost-effectiveness.

Because our perspectives differed, we decided against the group purchase.

3. If you are buying a DTF printer now, _DTF Printer Price and Specification Research

Looking at the data I initially uploaded,

• you can check the overall price,
• so you can see if the seller is overpricing the product.
• There’s also information about not choosing the XP600 head just because it’s cheaper,
• and you can see that the i1600 head is more popular than the i3200.

Just checking this will be very helpful if you’re considering purchasing the equipment yourself.

 

III. This is how ARTJET supports our customers.

One thing I feel while selling and maintaining ARTJET UV Printers for 5 years is that the next most important thing after product stability is Troubleshooting DATA.

All products have problems, whether they are actual equipment problems or consumer errors, and product stability is how easily and quickly you solve those problems.

We are organizing all the troubleshooting DATA as follows.
