They are also equipped with a built-in vibrating screen and a special DTF hot-melt powder applicator.

The transmission scrolls again on the output side.

What is fascinating is that these printers can generate hundreds or even thousands of transmissions in an hour. Such an amazing volume is unheard of.

The reason behind the incredible popularity of direct film printers
