Micolorprint | DTF Printer Manufacturer
Choose an A3 DTF printer around the orders you need to deliver.
Explore our A3 / 30cm DTF printing solutions with XP600 printhead configurations and compatible drying equipment. Compare design capacity, workflow requirements and package contents before investing in your setup.
Whether you currently outsource transfers or are adding garment printing to your business, start with a clear equipment plan.
Tell us your largest design, typical workload and existing equipment. Request a recommended configuration, an itemized quotation and shipping options.
An A3 DTF printer prints color and white ink onto compatible PET transfer film. The complete garment workflow also requires adhesive powder, curing and heat pressing.
“A3” describes a sheet format, while “30cm” describes a width. The supported film width and effective printing width can differ. Check the specifications of the actual model to confirm that your artwork fits.

For heat press businesses that purchase ready-made transfers, in-house printing can provide more control over scheduling, revisions and urgent orders.
Compare the savings with the added costs of equipment, maintenance, labor and waste before making the change.
For custom T-shirt shops, the challenge is often preparing and processing many different files.
Evaluate artwork preparation, layout changes and post-processing alongside printing speed.
For small brands, review your largest designs, repeat-order requirements and color expectations.
Approve samples on the garments you intend to sell before planning production.
For businesses adding a new process, confirm the equipment, workspace, training and maintenance responsibilities required.
An A3 setup may not be the best fit when designs regularly exceed its effective width or when verified output cannot meet your workload.
If your orders are occasional, compare purchasing ready-made transfers with owning and maintaining a printer.
Avoid choosing by price or printhead name alone. Compare the complete machine, its tested output and the supporting equipment needed for your orders.
