Key Features

Stable White Ink and Smooth PET Film Handling

This A3 printer combines three white ink maintenance functions with an air-suction platen to support cleaner white layers, flatter film feeding and easier daily operation.

1390 Printhead

The single 1390 printhead delivers reliable A3 output for logos, detailed artwork, small text and custom apparel graphics.

1440 DPI Resolution

High-resolution printing supports crisp micro-details, smooth gradients and vivid color reproduction.

CMYK + Dual White

CMYK colors and dual white channels create an opaque underbase for transfers applied to dark-colored garments.

White Ink Agitation

Agitation helps keep white pigment mixed and reduces sedimentation inside the ink supply system.

White Ink Circulation

Continuous circulation keeps white ink moving through the ink path for more stable underbase output.

Automatic Cleaning

Automatic printhead cleaning supports routine nozzle maintenance and helps reduce avoidable downtime.

Air-Suction Platen

The suction platform stabilizes PET film to reduce wrinkles, film movement and feeding-related jams.

Roll and Sheet PET Film

Use continuous roll film for batch layouts or individual sheets for samples and one-off orders.

Broad Material Compatibility

Produce transfers for cotton, polyester, blends, canvas, linen, leather and other compatible textiles.
