Focus on Garment & Textile Printers China Print Supplies
Positive shift into garment and textile printing
China Print Supplies (CPS) has built its reputation on bringing well-engineered, keenly priced print machinery into the UK with proper support behind it. Garment and textile printing is now one of its fastest-growing areas, thanks to the quality and range of SinoColor’s portfolio. At the entry point sits the DTF-400 series, a 40cm DTF printer aimed at businesses making their first move into garment decoration. Two Epson i1600 or i3200 print heads, an eight-colour configuration and up to eight channels of white ink give bold colour and a dense white base on dark fabric, across cotton, polyester, nylon and denim. For operations ready to scale, the DTF-600 and DTF-800 series offer wider print beds of 60cm and 80cm and two, three or four print heads, with variable dot printing and colour setups up to CMYKRGOB for higher volume work. The high-quality engineering is consistent across the range. A single-piece aluminium beam, Hiwin guide rails, and an Italian Megadyne belt ensure precision over long runs, while automatic powder collection recovers and reuses adhesive powder to reduce waste. White ink stirring keeps pigment from settling between jobs, which matters on a machine that may sit idle overnight.
CPS’ SinoColor portfolio
What sets these products apart is not just the build quality and price, but also what happens after the sale. China Print Supplies installs and trains on-site, keeps ink and parts in the country, runs its own UK engineers, and covers print heads under warranty. The textile and solvent side of the business is growing too, alongside cutting tables, so a buyer can stay with one UK supplier as their work broadens. Scott Clutton, managing director of China Print Supplies, said: “When you buy from CPS you get full install, training and a warranty that includes the print heads. We keep ink, parts and engineers in the UK, so it is just like dealing with any main brand.”
