Uninet DTF 1200 Dual Head Printer A3+ Direct-to-Film

Two high-definition professional inkjet printheads work together to push production speeds up to 45 sq ft/hr, giving you the daily order capacity of a serious production tool without stepping into large industrial equipment.

• Faster turnaround on recurring order volume
• Cleaner detail output from HD printhead resolution
• 13-inch A3+ print width for larger graphics and gang sheets
• Single-pass CMYK + White printing for a simpler, faster workflow

This is production capability that scales with your business, not a hobby setup you outgrow in a month.

White ink settling is the number one headache in DTF, and this machine tackles it head-on. The built-in WICS (White Ink Management System) automatically circulates and agitates white ink to reduce separation and clogging risk.

• Five-color CMYK + White ink configuration
• Continuous feed ink system that keeps ink flowing for longer runs
• An agitation pump that keeps white ink moving so it stays reliable print after print

The result is more dependable white ink performance and fewer maintenance surprises mid-production. To keep white ink performing at its best, maintain ink levels above 50% at all times.

Here is a detail worth understanding before you buy: keep the printer powered on through the main blue switch at all times. Doing so lets the White Ink Management System circulate white ink every 300 seconds for 30 seconds, reducing clogging and ink separation while the machine sits idle.

The front control row keeps operation simple with Feed Out, Feed In, Pause, and Power buttons, plus an external waste bottle for clean fluid collection. Leaving it running is the single best habit for protecting your printheads and your production schedule.

White Overprint® Technology aligns your CMYK layer accurately over the white base, producing the sharp, vibrant transfers your customers expect on dark garments.

• Precise CMYK + white alignment in a single pass
• Cleaner colors and professional transfer quality
• Strong results across cotton, polyester, blends, and dark fabrics

Film buckling ruins transfers and can cause head strikes. An internal controllable vacuum suction platform holds film perfectly flat throughout printing, while a set of pinch rollers and a roll feeder with auto-feeding keep media tracking cleanly.

• Fewer film buckling issues and fewer print defects
• Auto-feeding for a smoother, hands-off workflow
• A built-in film cutter for faster finishing and clean trimming

An integrated platen heating system keeps the print bed at a stable temperature, working alongside the vacuum bed to lock in consistent output. The onboard heater display lets you monitor conditions right at the machine, so every job lands with reliable, repeatable transfer quality.

Every commercial DTF system needs maintenance, but this one automates the parts that trip up most operators. Built-in auto printhead cleaning runs maintenance cycles for you, while the advanced capping station protects nozzles when the machine is idle.

• Automated cleaning intervals to lower operator workload
• Capping station protection that reduces drying and clogging risk
• Better nozzle health and longer printhead life when maintained correctly

This is a machine with real maintenance discipline built into the hardware, not a false promise of a maintenance-free printer. Plan on a short list of daily tasks—a daily head cleaning, a daily nozzle check, and cleaning the printhead area, capping station, and wiper blades—plus weekly tasks such as cleaning the capping station seals, cleaning the wiper blades, emptying and rinsing the waste bottle, cleaning the underside of the printhead carriage, and inspecting the ink tanks. Staying on this schedule is what keeps a commercial DTF machine running reliably.

Integrated strike sensors help prevent the printhead crashes that destroy heads on cheaper systems. Mounted along the carriage rail and drive belt, they lower your repair risk and keep costly downtime off your books.

Servicing is designed to be quick and painless. A three-part top cover opens up the machine for cleaning, and a polished reflective maintenance plate near the film path lets you inspect and service the printheads with a clear view.

• Faster cleaning and less downtime
• Simpler printhead inspection for daily operator maintenance

DTF is sensitive to its surroundings, so built-in humidity and temperature sensors keep you informed of conditions as you print. For best results, run the machine in 50%–65% humidity at 60°F–70°F, in a dust-free, non-condensing, well-ventilated space away from direct sunlight on a stable industrial work surface with no wobble.

This is professional equipment intended for a commercial workspace, not residential or home use. Because TPU adhesive powder poses inhalation hazards, the manual strongly emphasizes proper fume extraction and air filtration—especially during powder curing—along with mandatory PPE including a respirator or N95 mask, gloves, goggles, and protective clothing. Keeping the environment controlled prevents ink clogs, film buckling, and inconsistent output.

An attached control panel with an LCD screen and directional navigation keeps daily operation straightforward. Check status, feed film, and drive print settings right at the machine.

Every unit also ships with UNINET® DTF™ ProRIP™ Advanced RIP Software to drive your files, plus 120 minutes of onboarding and training (a $299 value) to ramp you up fast and cut down beginner mistakes. USA-based technical support stands behind the system.

Produce weedless, stretchable, durable, soft-touch transfers across a wide range of materials. That flexibility covers nearly every order that lands on your production floor:

• Cotton, polyester, and blends
• Spandex and performance wear
• Nylon, linen, and chemical fiber blends
• Vinyl, leather, and canvas
• Dark garments, tote bags, and home décor textiles

From custom t-shirts and sportswear to short-run fashion brands and promotional products, this is one machine for many jobs.

As your order volume climbs, you can add the optional UNINET® DTF™ 14 Auto Powder Unit, which automates powder application, curing, and drying for a more production-oriented workflow. It is a straightforward path to more automation without swapping out your printer.

To run a complete workflow, you will also need a powder heat curing station, a heat press (16x20 recommended), a Windows 10 or higher PC, a humidifier, fume extraction, funnels for ink filling, and proper PPE including a respirator or N95 mask, gloves, goggles, and protective clothing.
