Ricoh IM C6010 DTF Kit Review: The Office Workhorse That Dreams of Fabric

The IM C6010 was built for corporate reports not T-shirts. But with a third-party DTF kit, it repurposes its high-speed engine to output film transfers at surprising rates. The workflow is clunky (ink must be routed externally), and results vary, but for shops already running Ricoh systems, it’s a low-cost way to test DTF without buying a dedicated machine. It’s a hack, not a solution but sometimes hacks spark innovation.
