ColDesi Debuts Four-Head DTF Printer
COLDESI INC., Tampa, Florida, has announced the release of the
DigitalHeat FX DTF-24H4, a high-volume, direct-to-fi lm (DTF)
printer.
On the heels of the introduction of the DigitalHeat FX DTF-24H2
- a 24-inch DTF printer with two print heads - the company is
kicking things up a notch with this newest machine, equipped with
four print heads, according to the company.
" Whether you're running a one-machine shop, adding transfer
production to a high-volume business or replacing expensive directto-garment
printers, power requirements are a big deal, " says Don
Copeland, digital product manager, ColDesi. " We've worked with our
in-house R&D team to reduce the requirements for both the printer and
the dryer to a single 30-amp, 220-volt circuit, or run two systems off a
single 50-amp, 220-volt circuit. Not only does this cut initial setup costs,
it [also] can save literally hundreds, even thousands, of dollars in power
costs over the course of a year - especially for multi-printer shops. "
Other advances include operation improvement for few touches per
print and a centralized control location to reduce overall interface time.
" Th e DigitalHeat FX DTF-24H2 two-head machine is rated at between
45 and 55 linear feet per hour production - which is approximately
100 full-front transfers per hour, which is more than enough volume for
most shops, " says Mike Angel, head of ColDesi's OnDemand software
ColDesi's DTF line comes with a self-paced online training
program, as well as technical support for as long as the machine
is owned, according to the company.
programs. " But the new four-head [machine] is more than three times
as productive, which meets virtually any demand. "
