Don’t let its size fool you the Gongzheng GZ-DTF60 is the most space-efficient DTF printer on the market, designed for creators who work from apartments, dorm rooms, or crowded garages. At just under $1,000, it’s the most affordable factory-built DTF system that doesn’t require modifying a photo printer.
Measuring barely larger than a shoebox, the GZ-DTF60 prints A4-sized transfers with surprisingly good color saturation. Its micro piezo printheads handle fine lines well, though complex gradients can show slight banding at high magnification. The white ink system is rudimentary there’s a small internal pump, but you’ll still need to manually agitate the cartridge daily but for occasional use, it’s manageable.
Where it shines is accessibility. No technical skills needed: plug it in, load A4 PET film, and print via the included (if basic) RIP software. It’s whisper-quiet, uses minimal power, and won’t intimidate a beginner.
Of course, it’s not for everyone. If you need chest-back prints or run daily batches, look elsewhere. But for someone testing DTF with a $500/month side hustle? The GZ-DTF60 proves you don’t need a warehouse or a $3,000 budget to start creating professional-quality custom apparel.
Upside: Ultra-compact fits in tight spaces, Lowest-cost factory-built DTF option | Watchouts: Limited to A4 size no large designs, White ink system requires frequent attention. Weigh these against your average daily transfer volume.
Expect a spend in the 899 - 1,100 bracket, excluding ongoing consumables like film, powder, and ink.
