Print at Lightning Speed With the Best DTF Printer

Our Peregrine x4 is the fastest DTF printer on the market and can deliver 100 full-color 11" x 11" DTF transfers in 30 minutes. For more information, see the Peregrine x4.

A 100-piece order will take about 30 seconds per shirt application. 100 pieces x 30 seconds = 50 minutes. Even if you run at the highest print quality (slowest print speed) and take your time with the pressing, you would produce over 50 shirts per hour! Compared to DTG at 20 prints per hour on their fastest settings (Not including the time to Pretreat). Oh, and don’t forget that DTF inks are generally 50% less than DTG. Our Ultra Bright DTF ink is formulated with more pigment to provide amazing vivid prints every time.

The process is a fully automated in-line production from screen to finished transfers. Just cut into singles and with a quick 10-15 second press you have a finished custom printed garment. 

If this is too quick for your current needs, we also offer a cost-effective, two-head version of the Peregrine DTF transfer printer that will print 100 of the same 11” size transfer in 45 min

The Printomize America Difference

CEO Kristian Beasley has 30 years of experience in the garment decorating business with expertise in developing and manufacturing heat-applied transfers and patches for the sportswear industry.

With extensive experience in the sports market, that demands lightweight, durable, soft, and stretchy prints – he has developed DTF transfers to the next level with Printomize. In addition, he is the owner of a large garment decorating business offering screen printing, embroidery, heat transfers and DTG. In other words, he understands the needs and challenges of this industry.

However, the ability to quicky produce quality full color heat applied custom transfers, that work on almost any fabric, with no pre-treatment - is game changing!”
