Planning delivery and installation

Measure the whole route and the working space

Check the unpacked and packed machine separately, including doors, lift access, turning space and unloading arrangements. Allow access for feeding material, opening covers and service. Ask for the applicable installation drawing; do not infer clearances from a photograph.

A floor-standing system needs an appropriate level support surface. For a tabletop machine, confirm the assembled weight and suitable support with the supplier. A table shown in a photograph is not evidence that it is included.

Specify each electrical load separately

For DTF, request the printer, shaker/dryer and filtration electrical requirements separately: voltage, frequency, rated/maximum demand, plugs and circuit requirements. Do not treat a combined figure as the rating of the printer alone.

Have a qualified installer verify the site against the supplied equipment data plates and installation documents. Do not size a circuit from an approximate marketing power figure.

Check ventilation and room conditions by model

Request the approved extraction or filter arrangement, discharge connection, filter service schedule and operating temperature/humidity for the exact system. Values from a different printer or a general DTF article are not interchangeable.

Lasers require a material-specific safety and extraction assessment. DTF curing requirements depend on the actual dryer and filtration package. Confirm these before preparing the workspace.

What must the quotation identify?

The quotation should identify the machine revision, head or laser configuration, stand/table, shaker/dryer, extraction/filtering, compressor or cooling equipment, RIP/software licence, installation and training. Mark each item included, optional or customer-supplied.
