1. Startups and Small Businesses: Entrepreneurs looking to enter the custom apparel market will benefit from the compact size and lower investment cost of the DTF-6002S. It allows them to produce high-quality products without the need for a large workspace.

Operating Process

The DTF-6002S follows a relatively straightforward process for printing designs onto fabric:

1. Prepare the Design: The design is first created on a computer using specialized software. This software allows for adjustments in color, resolution, and ink levels to ensure the best possible print quality.

2. Film Printing: The design is printed onto a DTF transfer film using the DTF-6002S printer. The printer applies CMYK colors along with a white layer that acts as a base for the design when transferred to fabric.

3. Powder Application: After the film is printed, adhesive powder is applied to the print. This powder ensures that the design sticks to the fabric when heat is applied.

4. Curing: The film, now covered with adhesive powder, is passed through a curing process to melt the powder and create a strong bond with the ink.

5. Transfer to Fabric: The cured film is placed on the fabric, and heat is applied using a heat press. The design is transferred from the film to the fabric during this process.

6. Cold Peel: Once the heat press process is complete, the film is allowed to cool before being peeled away, leaving the design on the fabric.
