These designs can then be heat-pressed onto virtually any fabric type including cotton, polyester, blends, nylon, leather, and more. Procolored offers several models ranging from compact A4 desktop printers to larger A3 production machines.

Procolored F13 (A3 / 13" width): Best for: Small to medium businesses, growing operations
Procolored F13 Pro (Dual Head): Best for: Production environments, high-volume shops
Procolored K13 Lite: Best for: Budget-conscious buyers wanting A3 size
What's the difference between F-Series and K-Series?
F-Series (F8, F13, F13 Pro):
- Original Procolored lineup

- XP600 printheads
- Established support and parts availability
- Generally higher price point
K-Series (K13 Lite):

What printhead does Procolored use?
Most Procolored models use Epson XP600 printheads, which are:
- Industry-standard and widely available
- Cost-effective to replace ($200-300)
- Reliable with proper maintenance
- Compatible with DTF inks
- Easy to source replacement parts
What is white ink circulation and why is it important?
White ink circulation is an automated system that continuously circulates white ink through the printer lines to prevent settling and clogging. This is crucial for DTF printing because:
Why it matters:
- White ink contains titanium dioxide particles that settle quickly
- Settled particles cause printhead clogs (expensive repairs)
- Prevents the #1 cause of DTF printer failures
How Procolored does it:
- Siphon system automatically circulates white ink
- Runs periodically even when printer is idle
- Keeps ink mixed and flowing
- Significantly reduces maintenance issues
Best practice: Keep your Procolored printer powered on 24/7, even when not printing. The circulation system needs power to function.
What maintenance does a Procolored printer require?
Daily Maintenance (5 minutes):
- Run automatic cleaning cycle
- Check nozzle test pattern
- Verify white ink circulation is working
- Wipe print surface if needed
Weekly Maintenance (15-20 minutes):
- Deep clean printheads if needed
- Clean capping station
- Check ink levels
- Clean powder shaker (if separate unit)
Monthly Maintenance (30-45 minutes):
- Clean all printer surfaces
- Inspect and clean wiper blade
- Check all ink lines for leaks
- Verify heating elements functioning
- Update software if available
Procolored Advantage: The auto-cleaning and white ink circulation significantly reduce manual maintenance compared to older DTF printers.
What print resolution can Procolored printers achieve?
Procolored DTF printers can print at resolutions up to 1440 x 1440 DPI (dots per inch), which
provides:
- Excellent detail and sharpness
- Smooth color gradients
- Fine text reproduction
- Photo-quality images
Most DTF printing is done at 720 x 1440 DPI or 1440 x 720 DPI, which offers the best balance of
quality and speed.
What fabrics can I print on with Procolored DTF?
DTF transfers work on virtually any fabric type:
- Cotton – Excellent adhesion and durability
- Polyester – Vibrant colors, no dye migration
- Cotton/Poly Blends – All blend ratios work perfectly
- Nylon – Great for activewear and bags
- Canvas – Tote bags, shoes, accessories
- Leather – Jackets, wallets (genuine and faux)
- Denim – Jeans, jackets
- Spandex/Lycra – Stretchy athletic wear Felt – Craft projects
- Non-Woven Materials – Some synthetic fabrics

With proper application and quality materials, DTF prints are extremely durable:
Wash Durability:
- 50+ wash cycles with minimal fading
- Commercial laundry safe
- Chlorine bleach resistant (better than DTG)
Stretch & Flex:
- Excellent elasticity on stretchy fabrics

FAQ’s
What is DTF?
DTF stands for Direct-to-Film — it’s a printing method where designs are printed onto a special film, coated with adhesive powder, and then heat-transferred onto fabric. It’s a popular alternative to DTG (Direct-to-Garment) printing, especially for vibrant, durable prints on a wide variety of materials.
What is a DTF Software?
DTF software stands for Direct-to-Film printing software, and it’s a specialized type of RIP (Raster Image Processor) software designed specifically for the DTF printing process. It prepares digital artwork for optimal printing on a special film, which is later transferred onto fabric (usually cotton or polyester) using heat and adhesive powder.
What Does a RIP Do?
A RIP software converts vector and raster images (like PDFs, PNGs, or AI files) into a format that a printer can understand — essentially “translating” digital design files into precise instructions for ink placement, color management, and print quality.
What is Cadlink?
CADlink Technology, now operating as Fiery LLC (CADlink), is a Canadian software company based in Ottawa, Ontario. CADlink specializes in developing design and production software solutions tailored for various industries.
Why Use Cadlink Over Generic RIPs?
- Designed specifically for specialty printing (unlike some RIPs focused only on signage or offset)
- Offers high fidelity color accuracy and ink optimization
- Saves time and reduces material waste with smart layout features
Can I test DTF software for free once?
Yes, you absolutely can test DTF software for free—most major DTF RIP software providers offer a trial version so you can try it out before purchasing. We also offer Free 15-day trial.
