Customer Reviews
The printer itself produces good quality transfers, but I've had recurring issues with the white ink circulation. Had to clean the print head twice in the first month. Once I established a daily maintenance routine, things stabilized. Print speed is adequate for small orders but would struggle with bulk production. Good value for the price point if you're patient with the initial setup phase.
I researched DTF printers for weeks before pulling the trigger on the DS Pro. Best decision I've made. The all-in-one package made setup a breeze — powder shaker, curing oven, everything included. I went from unboxing to printing my first transfer in under 2 hours. Print quality is sharp, white ink opacity is great on dark shirts. Customer support was responsive when I had questions about ICC profiles. Highly recommend for beginners.
