Procolored K13 Lite DTF Printer vs R1390 DTF Printer

The Procolored K13 Lite is the easier machine to live with for a first DTF setup: LiteHead printhead, automatic cleaning, white ink circulated every 30 minutes, a debris sensor that catches film warping and particles down to 2 mm, and a smokeless oven in the box. The R1390 prints at higher resolution (2880x1440 vs 1440x1440) and has a stronger white ink system with stirring, filtering and circulation, but it is a heavier, more traditional cartridge machine aimed at users who already know DTF. Owners of the K13 Lite praise support and beginner-friendliness; R1390 owners rate it well but expect more hands-on upkeep.

• Choose the Procolored K13 Lite if you are new to DTF, print from home, and want automatic cleaning, ink circulation and a low-odor oven without a steep learning curve.
• Choose the R1390 if you want maximum resolution and a self-stirring, self-filtering white ink system and are comfortable maintaining a cartridge-based printer.
