With a print width of 12 inches, this printer is perfect for professionals, small business owners, and DIY enthusiasts.

The ONI-J1223 delivers sharp and vibrant prints with incredible precision and detail, powered by 2 Epson XP600 print heads. This printer features 2 optional fluorescent ink capabilities for neon-colored prints.

The white ink circulation system prevents clogging, ensuring uninterrupted printing sessions, while the built-in powder shaker streamlines the process by evenly distributing adhesive powder for optimal adhesion and vibrant colors.

Versatile and user-friendly, this printer handles a wide range of textiles and features automated functions for a seamless printing experience. Engineered for efficiency, it enables high-speed printing and minimizes operational costs, making it a valuable investment for your business.

Optional 6-Color Printing

This printer uses standard CMYK+W inks, however, it also offers an additional advantage by supporting two optional fluorescent inks. This feature offers a competitive advantage to printing businesses by enabling them to produce bright, neon-colored designs.

 



White Ink Circulation & Filtration

The printer's white ink circulation & filtration system consistently stirs the ink and removes any contaminants that may have entered it. This process prevents the ink from settling and clogging the print head, which is one of the most costly issues with modern DTF printers.




Simple Operation

The ONI-J2423 DTF Printer, renowned for its stunning detail and vibrant colors, is a testament to advanced printing technology. It stands up to the demands of high-volume printing, ensuring consistent and efficient performance over time.

This printer has an absolutely stunning printing resolution of 3220dpi. The captivating details and color accuracy are unbeatable. What truly sets it apart is the soft and stretchable finish, making your prints not only visually stunning but also comfortable to touch and versatile for various applications.

With the addition of the Powder Shaker, your production capabilities are taken to the next level. This add-on uniformly dispenses adhesive powder, giving you control over the dispersion speed and quantity. It streamlines your operations, saving time and resources by eliminating manual powder application and the need for film baking. Additionally, it features cooling fans post-powder melting, preventing the film from becoming oily and sticking together.

White Ink Stirring & Filtration

As white ink is thicker and heavier than other inks used in printing, it tends to settle down at the bottom of the ink tank, leading to clogging of the print head. The stirrer helps to keep the white ink consistently mixed to avoid this issue. The integrated filtration removes any contaminants that may have entered it. Both of these white ink features operate on a timed basis set by the user.

 

Power Loss Recovery

This printer provides continuous printing even in case of disconnection. Whenever the printer gets disconnected for any reason, the buffer memory saves the ongoing printing process. Once the connection is restored, the printer resumes printing from where it left off. This feature not only ensures uninterrupted printing, but also saves time and resources.

Anti-Collision

This printer is fitted with an anti-collision device on its carriage, which detects any obstacles in its path, effectively preventing it from hitting obstacles and damaging the print head. This key safety feature ensures that the printer operates smoothly and efficiently, without any risk of damage to the hardware.

How does DTF Work?

1. Upload Design to RIP Software

RIP Software is Included with allCanis PrinterPurchases

Raster Image Processor (RIP) software converts digital images into a format suitable for outputting on film. The RIP software processes the image file, performing tasks such as color management, halftone screening, and image optimization. 

The RIP software also enables the application of a white underbase. This white underbase enhances the vibrancy of the colors, particularly on dark or colored substrates, ensuring that the final printed result accurately matches the intended design. 

2. Load Film & Press Print

Sit back and relax as your transfers print.

The DTF printing process utilizes coated PET film as the printing substrate, which offers excellent durability and adhesion properties. First, the printer places the CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black) inks on the PET film, creating the color layers of the design. Then, it applies a white underbase layer on top of the CMYK inks.

Maintop RIP Software in conjunction with Canis printers allows this process to be done in a single pass.

3. Apply Adhesive & Bake

The CanisPowder ShakerDoes This Step For You!

Traditionally, the process of applying DTF adhesive powder involves manual application and subsequent heating. The user would manually sprinkle DTF adhesive powder over the wet ink. To activate the adhesive, the film would be either placed in an oven or a heat press plate would be hovered over it for 2 to 5 minutes.

However, we provide a convenient solution to simplify this process. Our Powder Shaker machine automates the entire procedure for you. It evenly applies the DTF adhesive powder onto the wet ink. It includes a built-in heating mechanism that melts the adhesive powder in a controlled and efficient manner.

4. Press & Peel

Place the DTF transfer on top of the garment, with the adhesive facing downwards. Press down the heat press for 15-20 seconds. Carefully lift the press and let the transfer cool for a few seconds before peeling off the adhesive film.

We recommend placing parchment paper over the design and doing a second press, after peeling off the film, for 3-5 seconds. This enhances the durability and longevity of the transferred design on the garment.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Buying A Printer

The ONI-J1223 is best for small businesses with smaller print runs. If you don't need a print width larger than the standard T-Shirt print width of 12 inches, the ONI-J1223 is the ideal choice.


If your business is larger and needs faster printing speeds without compromising quality, larger print width, or you're planning to sell Direct to Film prints to other businesses, the ONI-J2423 is the superior option.

A Powder Shaker is not completely necessary, but it does speed up production quite a bit.

Without a Powder Shaker, you will need to manually apply a thin layer of adhesive powder to the wet ink after it has printed. Once the powder is applied, you will need to heat the powder to activate it. This can be done by hovering a heat press over the sheet for 2-3 minutes, running the sheet through a conveyor dryer, or baking it in an oven.

This process is very time-consuming, which is why we do highly recommend a Powder Shaker.

Normally, DTF Printers require regular print head cleanings and frequently shaking the white ink to prevent settling and clogging.

However, Canis Printers are equipped with a white ink circulation system, so all you have to do to maintain the printer is print regularly. If you don't print for more than 1 day, all you will need to do is run an automatic printhead clean before printing.

If you plan on leaving your printer off for a few weeks or months, you will need to flush the lines, clean your printhead and leave it soaking in cleaning solution. This prevents clogging and damage to the print head.

Our Customer Service is available 24/7 to assist with these steps.

Yes, all CanisDTF Printers come with a Raster Image Processor (RIP) Software and instructions on how to use it.

Typically, DTF prints can feel thick and patchy if there is not enough empty space within your image.

However, our CanisDTF adhesive powder is specifically engineered to enhance ink absorption into the fabric compared to standard DTF transfers, resulting in a soft and stretchy texture.
