Why Choose This Professional Production Setup?

• Dual-Technology Dominance: Gain the ability to print on absolutely any fabric type or color using DTF, while simultaneously running oversized promotional goods and polyester transfers on the dedicated Epson sublimation line.
• Massive Production Scale: The oversized 100x80cm heat press allows you to cure all-over t-shirt prints, banners, flags, and large fabric panels in a single press cycle.
• Zero Weeding or Pre-Treatment: Eliminate time-consuming cutting and plotters. Print high-detail, vibrant full-color graphics with transparent edges directly onto transfer film.

1. Locor A3 DTF Printer (Dual Epson XP600 Printheads)

The Locor A3 Direct-to-Film printer is a commercial-grade apparel solution engineered with two high-performance Epson XP600 printheads. It delivers rapid, vibrant, full-color transfers onto any garment type without requiring pre-treatment.

Key Capabilities

• Print on Any Fabric: Flawlessly supports cotton, polyester, poly-blends, denim, canvas, leather, and dark or light garments.
• Dual Printhead Efficiency: One head dedicates to CMYK colors while the second head lays down the solid white backing layer simultaneously for fast production speeds.
• What You Need to Run This System: A dedicated computer with RIP software (such as Maintop or Photoprint), DTF transfer film, DTF curing powder, and a heat press. A powder shaker/dryer machine is highly recommended for full workflow automation.

SourcePrinting Quality Warranty & Printhead Care

We provide a limited product warranty on structural machine parts and sub-systems covering manufacturing defects in materials or craftsmanship.

Important Notice on Printheads: The Epson XP600 printhead is a highly sensitive consumable item with a limited lifespan and is vulnerable to voltage fluctuations or lack of regular use. Clogging can occur over time if maintenance is neglected. Therefore, printheads carry no warranty. Complete printhead maintenance training is provided by SourcePrinting during your equipment installation.

High-Priority Daily & Weekly Maintenance Checklist

To ensure your industrial system continues to run smoothly, buyers must adhere to strict maintenance protocols:

• Daily Clean: Gently clean the printheads at the start and end of every single production session using a soft, lint-free cloth and isopropyl alcohol.
• The Daily Print Rule: DTF ink systems require frequent fluid movement. If you do not plan to print daily or run routine test prints, a DTF system may not suit your workflow, and outsourcing your printing may be a safer choice.
• Weekly Ink Flow Check: Deep clean the printhead weekly with specialized DTF cleaning solution. Inspect all ink hoses, dampeners, and capping station connections for air pockets or blockages.
• Monthly Calibration: Perform a comprehensive clean of internal rollers and re-align the printhead mapping to maintain sharp print resolution and prevent color banding.
