R2 Pro - Great Printer!

I've used several different types of printers. The R2 Pro is by far the best DTF Printer I have used. Highly recommend if you are in the market for a 13" printer.

Workflow

Where the R2 Pro fits in your shop.

The R2 Pro handles the printing. You'll powder, cure and press on your own equipment, since no option includes it.

01

Print.

Your designs come out in CMYK plus White, up to 13 in wide on 14.57 in film. You send them from neoStampa on a Windows computer.

02

Powder and cure.

Finish each print with hot melt powder on your own powder and curing setup.

03

Press and peel.

Your heat press puts the design on the garment, tote or cap.

Included with every option
  • Prestige R2 Pro DTF printer
  • neoStampa RIP (Windows only) and DTF Station Pilot
  • Power cord, tools, ink dampers, ink filters, ink tube, ink diverter, USB dongle, ribbon cables, screws, feed roller components
  • Conditional 1 year warranty on up to 2 printheads
  • Training, virtual or on-site, whichever you pick
What else you'll need
  • A Windows computer. neoStampa RIP only runs on Windows.
  • Powder and curing equipment. None of the options come with a shaker or a curing station.
  • A heat press. None of the options include one.
  • Ink, film and powder. Stick with DTF Station supplies to keep your printhead warranty. Non-DTF Station ink, film, powder or other supplies void it. Going with the Quick Glide DTF Film option? Ask a specialist what it covers.

Compatible With

Good to know before you call.

What else do I need to start printing?

You'll need a Windows computer for neoStampa, powder and curing equipment, a heat press, and DTF Station ink, film and powder. None of the options include the heat press or the powder and curing equipment.

How does it handle white ink?

It keeps your white ink moving for you. The White Ink Management System stirs and circulates it inside the printer on a timer. Leave the printer on and it also cleans its printhead every 4 hours.

How fast is it?

DTF Station rates it at 30 to 35 sq ft an hour at 720 x 1200, or 180 pieces in an 8 hour day on a 12 x 14 in design. Want to know what that looks like for your work? A specialist can walk through a run of your own artwork with you.

Does it work with a Mac?

No, you'll need a Windows computer. neoStampa RIP only runs on Windows.

What can I print on?

Your transfers go onto garments, tote bags, caps and more, on cotton, polyester, PU and other fabrics.

Is training included?

Training's required, and you pick how your team gets it: virtual or on-site. Whichever you choose sets the price you see above.

What does the warranty cover?

You get a conditional 1 year warranty on up to 2 printheads. Stick with DTF Station ink, film, powder and supplies to keep it, because anything else voids coverage. Ask a specialist for the full terms.

What comes with the Quick Glide DTF Film option?

Ask a specialist before you order and they'll confirm exactly what ships with it.

How much space and power does it need?

Give it room for a 33.58 x 25.31 x 20.86 in machine that weighs 125 lb. It's rated at 700W, 110V 6.36A or 220V 3.2A.
