Splash of Color Introduces New HeatWave DFP-74 Fabric Printer
Press Release
Splash of Color, a leading distributor of computer graphics peripherals and an authorized Roland Partner, today introduced the HeatWave DFP-74 74” direct-to-fabric printer.
Based on Roland’s HeatWave sublimation technology, the new HeatWave DFP-74 direct-to-fabric digital printer is a complete solution that prints directly onto polyester fabrics and other substrates for flawless results. The system features precision media handling components and an advanced on-board sublimation unit that together ensure outstanding image quality and rich, saturated colors for flags, banners, textiles and soft signage that maintain their natural drape and texture.
“The HeatWave DFP-74 Fabric Printer brings all the performance and ease of use that has defined Roland inkjet technology to the direct-to-fabric digital printing market,” said Keith Faulkner, President of Splash of Color. “In addition to flags, banners and soft signage, the DFP-74 is engineered for superior textile printing. As a complete solution including printer, sublimation unit, inks and RIP software, the DFP-74 makes it easier than ever for shops to enter the fast-growing textile printing market.”
Reliable Image Quality Through Long Production Runs
Featuring eight advanced piezo print heads and Roland’s Precision Firing Pattern™, the DFP-74 prints at up to 548 sqft./hr. for outstanding image quality through the longest production runs.
The DFP-74 features an intelligent media handling system that communicates directly with the motherboard to ensure complete control of the media. The system features two precision stepping motors that automatically fine tune the media feeding process to ensure precise movements with every pass of the printer. Once printed, the media passes through a temperature-controlled heating system equipped with an infra-red thermometer. This advanced system monitors every phase of the heating process and makes adjustments to the temperature automatically to insure images cure quickly and evenly.
