The R1390 is a 13-inch direct-to-film printer built on the Epson L1800 Micro Piezo printhead, aimed at small apparel and custom-print shops that want to make transfer films in-house. It prints at up to 2880x1440 DPI on A3 film in roughly 5 to 8 minutes, with six cartridges and an automatic white ink stirring, filtering and circulation system. That white ink handling is the standout: white ink settles and clogs, and the circulation loop is the feature budget DTF printers usually skip. It is a Windows-only, cartridge-based machine weighing about 84 lbs, so it suits a dedicated shop bench rather than a home desk. Against converted Epson desktop printers it is purpose-built for film; against larger industrial DTF units it gives up width and speed but is far simpler to set up.
