This printer is designed to print on almost any fabric, including cotton, polyester, and fabric blends, as well as on any fabric color, even black.
The competitive price, advanced technology, and user-friendly features make our A3 DTF printers the best DTF printers for small businesses in t-shirt and clothing customization. They offer an all-in-one solution for high-quality, efficient printing.

Impressed with the Reliability and Quality of Procolored's Printer
I've had this printer for 42 days, and I'm impressed! Despite hearing of DTF issues, this printer works flawlessly, with no clogs even without daily use. The print quality is amazing, and it's reliable. Though not the fastest, it's worth it. Procolored, thank you for an excellent printer. My small business appreciates it! Can't wait for more products from you. So far, so good.
Exploring New Possibilities with My L1800 Printer: A Successful Experience
I've been actively printing with my L1800 13" printer for a little over a month and it's going well. I wanted to try the DTF prints on other surfaces besides shirts and it has been a success. Best wishes everyone!
Reliable and Profitable: My Year-Long Experience with the L1800 Printer
I've had the L1800 printer for over a year, and it's fantastic! It's a workhorse that's already paid for itself. I maintain it and print daily, and the color vibrancy is always top-notch. Our customers love the quality. We're planning to upgrade to a 22-inch printer soon. Hope this helps those who are skeptical!
Procolored's Excellent Support: Back to Printing with Great Results
Procolored got me back up and running with great prints and colors after repairs. The tech team, especially P-Yu and Gary, are dedicated and patient, even if it takes all day. I recommend Procolored for beginners in DTF. Go Procolored, keep up the great work!
Exceptional Support and Impressive Results with the DTF Procolored Machine
I discovered the DTF Procolored machine a few months ago and I'm delighted with the results. After a minor issue with the film not advancing, the exceptional customer service team resolved it remotely and reconfigured everything for optimal print quality. Now, everything is fully operational. Highly satisfied! 😍❤

I just got my new L1800 printer, and the colors are perfect! The setup was easy, thanks to the support team. It took less than 20 minutes to start printing. Consistent cleaning and following directions are key. The team even sent a step-by-step video to help with head cleaning. Be patient with response times—they always reply. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The oven plays a big role in transfer quality. Here compares different oven options, showing how curing performance and stability can impact your final results and workflow.
F13 pro has 2 print heads, while F13 only has one, so F13 pro prints is 2 times the speed of F13.
2.Does the RIP software run on a Macbook？
No, the RIP software is only compatible with Windows OS, you need to install Parallels or Bootcamp on Mac to use the RIP software.
3.Do I need to pay for the RIP software? Can I edit my design with the RIP software？
The Pro RIP program is free, but you need to plug in the software dongle to use it. It cannot edit images - it is only for image ripping. You need to use software like Photoshop or Canva to edit your images.
4.What is your after-sales warranty policy, where can I get tech support?
I have had great success with the help of the chat support. I really appreciate all they do to help get my printer back up and running. I am so grateful!
