A DTF printer bundle puts the printer and the equipment that finishes each transfer in one order: a powder shaker and dryer, a curing oven, or both. Most also include RIP software and a starter set of film, ink, powder and cleaning supplies.
What's in a DTF printer bundle
Bundles come in a few shapes:
Printer and curing oven: you powder by hand and the oven cures. These usually come with starter supplies.
Printer and powder shaker: the shaker coats each print with powder and dries it, so nobody powders by hand. Most add starter supplies.
Printer, shaker and oven: the whole finishing line, plus starter supplies.
Shaker add-on: a shaker and supplies for a printer you already run.
Supply bundles: film, ink, powder and cleaning supplies sized to a printer's film width.
Most printer bundles also include RIP software. Some offer training or a cutter as options, and each listing spells out what's in that bundle.
What you'll add to a bundle
A heat press, to move each finished transfer onto the garment. After that, film, ink and powder are what you reorder as you print: see our DTF film, DTF ink and DTF powder.
How to choose a DTF printer bundle
How you'll powder: an oven bundle works while you're powdering by hand. Pick a shaker bundle when hand powdering is what holds your orders up.
Film width: the shaker has to handle your printer's film width. Some wide printers offer more than one shaker size, so match it to the widest film you'll run.
What you already own: if you already run a shaker or an oven, you may only need a shaker add-on or a printer on its own from our DTF printers.
DTF bundle questions
What is a DTF starter kit?
It's another name for a DTF printer bundle: a printer with the shaker or oven it needs, usually with starter film, ink and powder. Add a heat press and you have the pieces to make your first transfers.
Can I add a shaker to a printer I already own?
Shaker add-on bundles pair a shaker and supplies with a specific printer. Check that the listing names yours, or ask a DTF specialist which shaker fits.
