We also are doing a lot of DTF for those small jobs, and charge accordingly. $18 and up for a single side on a t. The beauty of these things is that we haven't had a single complaint since we started doing them. Everyone has been happy. That's not what I expected, buy I'm getting wise to the fact that what I expect is no longer the norm...Steve

We picked up a Mutoh /STS printer a few months back. We use it daily.

We used the L1800 as a "proof of concept" that we needed DTF in house and this printer is light years ahead of the L1800. We did have a hiccup about a month back but STS came through and fixed us up. So Far, STS is similar to the old M&R customer service.PROS : Speed - it's a Mutoh, so it's geared for productionFlexi RIP program - colors are very vibrant. Nesting prints to maximize film, it's a really great RIP.CONS:I wish it would recycle the white and self circulate / agitate but it doesn't. You have to remove the white carts and shake them before printing in the morning. Kinda lame. I made an "auto shaker" for our last printers that would agitate the inks every few hours. Can't do it with this printer. "Crinkly Prints" - as with all DTF transfers, they're crunchy. We don't print shirts with it so it's not a concern for me but I sure wouldn't want to go this route with shirts in mind. They feel plastic. We do oddball stuff, I'm actually cutting leather on the laser now that we will decorate with transfers. Works out well.
