Big-shop DTF features for desktop printers
Most desktop DTF setups rely on basic software that handles white poorly and wastes film. The Desktop Edition changes that: white ink generation is automatic, built from the transparency in your design — no white layer preparation in Illustrator, Photoshop or Corel — and transparency-based ink gaps can be applied to the whole image or selected areas for softer, stretchier transfers. Custom color profiles for the most widely used ink, film and powder suppliers are included, with correction tools to adapt when you change consumables.
Daily production tools are the same ones the big shops use: knock-out tools for automatic black, white or color removal, auto nesting to fill every centimetre of film, barcode support, roll-mode without additional hardware, industrial-strength PDF support and "no raster" printmodes that simulate a DTG finish on select printers. From the first test print on an Epson L1800 to daily batches on a purpose-built A3 DTF machine, everything stays in one easy interface.
Key features
Automatic white underbase
White ink built automatically from design transparency — amazing results with zero manual layer preparation.
Ink gaps by transparency
Apply rasterized ink gaps to the full image or selected areas — improved stretch and hand feel on garments.
Supplier color profiles
Custom profiles for the most widely used DTF inks, films and powders, plus correction tools when you switch suppliers.
Knock-out tools
Automatic black, white or color removal from customer artwork — film-ready files in seconds.
Auto nesting
Jobs nested automatically on sheet or roll to maximise film usage — less waste, lower cost per transfer.
Roll-mode included
Continuous roll printing without additional hardware or software — even on desktop-class printers.
"No raster" DTG effect
Specialised printmodes on select printers simulate a DTG look and feel using DTF technology.
Barcode & PDF workflow
Barcode support for production tracking and industrial-strength PDF handling for complex customer files.
