CompareHP DesignJet Z6 DTF Kit Review: When You Need DTF Bigger Than Life
Most DTF printers think in T-shirt sizes. The HP DesignJet Z6 thinks in stage backdrops. With a 64-inch print width, this converted wide-format beast enables DTF transfers large enough for full-size hoodies, dance costumes, or even fabric wall coverings. The modification isn’t trivial white ink must be routed through a custom manifold but once dialed in, the Z6 delivers consistent, high-resolution output with HP’s legendary color science. It’s wildly inefficient for standard apparel, but if your client needs a 4-foot-tall logo on a performance jacket, nothing else comes close.
