DTF Store Iris Compact Pro Desktop Printer Package Description
DTF Store Iris Compact Pro Desktop Printer Package
The DTF Store Iris Compact Pro is a compact direct to film printer package for small to medium clothing businesses, decorators, experienced hobbyists and apparel brands that want to bring more DTF transfer production in-house. This package is best suited to customers who already have printing experience, or who are willing to learn the correct DTF workflow and maintain the printer regularly. DTF printing is not maintenance-free. White ink management, film handling, powder application, curing, print settings, humidity, regular use and cleaning all affect the final result. If you are currently ordering transfers and wondering whether owning a DTF printer makes sense, we recommend using our DTF Printer Cost Calculator before purchasing.
Is This Printer Package Right For You?
This package may suit you if:
- You have printing experience or are confident learning a printer workflow.
- You order DTF transfers regularly and want more control over turnaround times.
- You are prepared to clean, maintain and monitor the printer regularly.
- You understand that DTF printing involves ink, film, powder, curing and testing.
- You want a compact package with printer, software and starter consumables included.
When Outsourcing May Be Better
This package may not be the right fit if:
- You only need occasional DTF transfers.
- You want a printer that can sit unused for long periods.
- You are not comfortable performing regular user maintenance.
- You do not want to manage print settings, consumables and curing.
- Your current outsourced transfer spend is still lower than ownership costs.

Iris Compact Pro Printer Features
White Ink Management
The Iris Compact Pro includes ink management systems designed to help support the white ink workflow. These systems can help reduce settling and support smoother operation, but they do not remove the need for regular printer use, cleaning and maintenance. Correct operation and consistent maintenance remain essential with any DTF printer.
Vacuum Print Bed
The Iris Compact Pro is equipped with vacuum fans underneath the print bed to help limit film lift and reduce the chance of head strikes. Film loading, media condition, bed setup and operator care are still important parts of the DTF workflow.
Maintenance, Warranty and Consumable Expectations
DTF printers require regular attention. This includes keeping the printer in a suitable environment, using compatible consumables, following setup instructions, performing regular user maintenance and ensuring the printer is used and checked often enough to support the ink system. Warranty and support expectations depend on correct use, correct setup, user maintenance and suitable consumables. Damage caused by unsuitable inks, fluids, parts, media, incorrect operation, poor storage, neglect or failure to perform maintenance may not be covered. Please read the DTF Store Warranty page and the product documentation before purchasing. For Epson printer products, Epson service terms also place importance on correct setup, correct user maintenance and genuine or approved consumables. The same principle should be applied to any DTF printer purchase: use the recommended consumables, follow the manual and maintain the printer properly. To understand what is involved before buying, please read DTF Printer Maintenance Requirements.
