Product Description
Additional Unique Benefitsof this printer as compared to competitor models:
- Want SHEET PRINTING functionality? Want ROLL PRINTING functionality? With the new INSPIRE A3+, you get BOTH! You can print to DTF sheets, or to DTF rolls, depending on your preference. Roll Feeder Module is included.
- The Roll Feeder Module does not take any desk space - The roll feeder for the Inspire A3+ fully attaches to the printer itself without the need for table space to sit it on, and is easy to align!
- The ink tanks on the INSPIRE A3+ are larger, easier to access, easier to fill and they each have their own one-way breather valves
- For maintenance purposes, adjusting the printhead carriage height is as easy as a turn of a knob - compared to screws and other mechanisms on other printers
- The INSPIRE A3+ has an automatic vacuum system that turns on when an image or job is started, as opposed toother printers (that may not even have vacuum systems, or need you to manually turn on and to have to remember to do so each time)
- The WIMS (White Ink Management System) on the INSPIRE A3+ now includes an additional anti-clogging component - an agitator in the white ink tank. Having the ink stirred in addition to ink circulated should help minimize clogging!
- Sleek design, well thought out to provide accessibility to parts for usage and maintenance!
- Built-in automatic head cleaning! The machine comes with the default set as 6 hours after the last print but it can easily be changed to suit your schedule or needs. Again, helps minimize clogging!
- The INSPIRE A3+ has a metal exit tray that can easily be attached or removed, when necessary; this is nice because it keeps the film flat when exiting
Incredible overall value!

* This is a DIY type item which requires practice and patience to hone your skills. Just like any product or business venture, you can't expect it to make you money out the box - you need to work at it and hone your skills. DTF is not a complicated technology, but it does have a learning curve. There are many resources online (videos, forums, groups) that can provide you with guidance, tips and advice - and we will recommend and provide some of these resources to our customers. The price of this item includes a onboarding and training. We will guide you on how to use the printer and software up to and including through your first prints. If you find that you will need more support, you could buy additional 2 hour training sessions ($299), and/or plan to learn on your own through through practice and by using the resources that we we will provide to you.
BENEFITS OVER DTG TECHNOLOGY:
- As compared to DTG technology (such as Epson, Ricoh, Brother or other DTG based systems), DTF PRO offers a cheaper startup cost (approx 50% to 75% cheaper) and NO PRETREATMENT required (less cost and less user dependency), although you will require DTF PreTreat Sheets and DTF PreTreat Powder. The print quality and the feel of the printed textiles is very similar to DTG. The substrates that DTF will work on are much wider than DTG (DTG is mainly for cotton, but DTF will work on cotton, poly, 50/50 blends and more).
