DTF Textile Printer - Firmware and Software Index
Inventory of firmware update packages and related control/RIP software from the local cncu.co.za mirror under T:\U\C\directTOFILM-DTF-Textile-Printer\, mapped to live https://cncu.co.za/... URLs.
English prose only. No pricing. Firmware / installer binaries themselves are not copied into this KB (pointer + URL only).
DTF textile is not thin: PrintExp Firmware Upgrades\ plus Saved Firmware\ machine backups, PrintExp ZIPs, InkRIP, and SAi FlexiPRINT installers. One-product rule: ingested directTOFILM DTF Textile Printer (did not fall back to UV-DTF or LaserMaster).
What this firmware is
DTF textile printers do not use a product-root Firmware\ / Firmwares\ tree (local absent; live 404). Board / controller updates live under:
- PrintExp Firmware Upgrades (
PrintExp DTF Printer Control & Alignment Software\Firmware Upgrades\): generic DTF600.upfyboard/controller images, generic DTF600.bsfx/.xtfxconfig pairs, and PrintExp Upgrade Tool V5.101. FolderDO NOT USE.txtsays "only for some situation" - treat as special-cases; flash only when support directs. - Saved Firmware (
...\Saved Firmware\): machine-serial backups (A3.xpcfx, F-DTF 300/600.bsfx/.xtfx, plus a few H-DTF / i1600 / UV300 dumps). Not generic upgrade packages. - Waveform files next to PrintExp (
Waveform Files\) - printhead waveform.waf, not board FW.
Prefer newer wins. Wrong-version flash risk - only when support directs. Support WhatsApp +27 60 600 7000.
English upgrade notes (pointers)
There is no dedicated English "how to upgrade DTF firmware" PDF in this tree. Closest English operational docs are the PrintExp Printer Control & Alignment Software Instruction (2024 handbook + 2022 predecessor), the Network/PrintExp/FlexiPRINT setup-guide screenshots, and the TC3-401T temperature/timer manual. DO NOT USE.txt = special-cases only.
