DTF finishing is a flat pressTextile DTF wants a flat, even platen — Heatware clamshell or flat. Not a mug press. Not an iron. Not a tumbler oven. | ||
Why flatThe transfer is a sheet. It needs even pressure across a chest print. A curve press cannot fake that. | ||
What we sizeA platen that covers the prints you sell. Twin-station only when Friday is already two shirts at once — not a drum. | ||

JohannesburgWe tell you what is realistic to collect — no made-up stock stories. Training sits on the Heatware you buy — you still run the first peel. | ||
What we will not doSell a mug press as DTF finishing. Open with a calendar drum for a first A3 shop. | ||
After you replyWe package the flat Heatware with the DTF combo — or the press alone if you already have a working printer. Cape Town and Durban are later touchpoints. Most first presses still leave Johannesburg. | ||
P.S. 600 mm DTF still wants a flat press that covers the print — say the size you actually run. | ||
