The UNINET DTF Xpress is a 17-inch direct-to-film (DTF) printer sold as a bundle with a Horizontal Shaker. The printer prints CMYK and white ink with an industrial-grade Ricoh piezoelectric printhead. A patented automatic wet-cap maintenance system helps reduce printhead clogs and the need for routine operator intervention.
The Horizontal Shaker automates the application of DTF adhesive powder and heat curing of the printed film. The printer has four independently controlled heating zones, six temperature and humidity sensors, and dual film feeding with a motorized unwinder.
Print speed is up to 42 linear feet per hour at 600 x 600 dpi, and maximum resolution is 1200 x 1200 dpi. Regular inspection, suitable environmental conditions, and manufacturer-recommended maintenance remain important for long-term reliability.
