Testing DTF printer after sitting idle for 12 days

How did the DTF Station Prestige R2 Pro perform after sitting idle for 12 days? We put it to the test. After being away on vacation, we came back to our R2 Pro and ran our standard startup procedure to see how the printer would recover — especially the white printheads, since clogged white ink is one of the most common concerns in DTF printing. Our plan was simple: If it struggled, we would show the recovery process. If it performed well, we would show the real results. The good news? It did great. After startup, the nozzle check showed only minimal clogging — well below the manufacturer’s recommended maximum — and no major recovery was needed. Then we printed a full-color patriotic DTF transfer to show the printer back in action. Real machine. Real startup. Real print results. This is why proper maintenance, good startup habits, quality ink, and the right DTF workflow matter. Want to learn more about DTF printing, equipment, supplies, or training? Visit kolormatrix.com.
