Canon G7020 DTF Mod Review: When Every Penny Per Print Counts

Canon’s G7020 was built for high-volume document printing but with a clever mod, it becomes a DTF ink miser. Refillable bottles slash ink costs to pennies per transfer, making it ideal for shops printing 30+ shirts daily. The catch? Canon’s thermal printheads weren’t designed for abrasive white pigment and most users report clogs within weeks without aggressive maintenance. But for the frugal entrepreneur, the math is undeniable: lower cost per print means higher margins.
