The Andemes A2 is a professional-grade DTF printer designed for businesses that need more throughput than A3 models but have limited space. Its 420mm (17-inch) print width is the "sweet spot" for garment decoration, easily accommodating full-back designs and multi-logo gang sheets.

Powered by the industrial Hoson mainboard system, the A2 offers superior stability compared to modified desktop printers. This purpose-built architecture ensures precise data transmission and mechanical coordination, eliminating lag and enhancing print accuracy. Focused on Efficient Garment Design Printing, it provides a streamlined, reliable workflow for designers to produce high-quality, durable apparel with consistent color fidelity.

• 17-inch Precision Feeding Format: Features a proprietary 420mm feeding path with high-torque stepping motors and alloy-grit rollers. This ensures consistent film tension and micron-level alignment accuracy, even for continuous long-run printing.
• Dual-Head Synchronous Productivity: Equipped with dual Epson printheads, the system enables simultaneous CMYK and White ink deposition. This configuration doubles output speed while maintaining high color density in a single pass.
• Active White Ink Management: Includes an integrated automatic stirring and timed circulation system. By preventing pigment sedimentation, it minimizes nozzle clogs and significantly reduces manual maintenance requirements.
• Triple-Zone Thermal Management: Features independent pre, mid, and post-heating plates. This precise temperature control ensures optimal ink viscosity and prevents bleeding, which is essential for high-fidelity garment design.
• Gigabit Network Reliability: Utilizes a high-speed Gigabit Ethernet interface for stable data transmission. This industrial-standard connection eliminates bottlenecks and errors common with standard USB setups during large file transfers.

• Digital Ink Deposition: The process begins in the RIP software (such as Maintop 6.1), where the design is translated into a dot-pattern. The printheads then deposit a mirrored image of CMYK pigments followed immediately by a dense layer of white ink onto the coated PET transfer film.
• Automated Powder Application: The printed film travels directly into the synchronized shaker-dryer unit. Here, TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) powder is applied. An automated vibrating mechanism removes excess powder from non-inked areas, ensuring only the design remains adhesive.
• Infrared Curing: The film passes through an infrared drying tunnel. The heat melts the TPU powder into a translucent, flexible adhesive layer. This step is vital for ensuring the "stretchability" and wash-fastness of the final garment.
• Heat Press Transfer: The finished film is placed onto the garment. Under a heat press (typically 150°C to 160°C for 10-15 seconds), the adhesive bonds the ink pigments deep into the fabric fibers.
• Final Reveal: Depending on the film type, the carrier sheet is removed (Hot or Cold Peel), leaving a soft-hand, vibrant graphic that is chemically bonded to the textile.

• Custom Apparel & Streetwear: The A2 format is the standard for high-end T-shirt brands. It handles complex, multi-tonal designs that screen printing cannot replicate without massive setup costs.
• Corporate & Promotional Gear: From polyester polos to nylon windbreakers, the DTF process remains compatible with almost any substrate, making it a "one-stop" solution for promotional companies.
• Elastic Sportswear: Unlike traditional vinyl, the DTF prints produced by the Andemes A2 are highly breathable and elastic, making them suitable for jerseys and performance wear that undergo significant stress during use.
