Holiday Protection Mode — Zero Clogging on Vacations
Never worry about dried nozzles or ruined printheads again. The Lancelot M1630 Pro features an intelligent in-line automatic maintenance system that activates during holidays and non-working days. Scheduled automatic printhead cleaning cycles circulate fresh ink and moisturize the micro piezo nozzles 24/7, keeping the machine ready for instant production when you return.
Epson F1080 Head — Double the Speed of L1800
Powered by the commercial Epson F1080 (XP600) micro piezo printhead, the M1630 Pro finishes an A4 transfer in just 3 minutes and an A3 transfer in 7 minutes — doubling the throughput of older L1800/R1390 platforms. With 6 dedicated color channels (CMYK + 2x White), it delivers 100% transfer efficiency, ultra-vivid graphics, and rich white opacity on pitch-black garments up to 2160 DPI.
Dual Roll/Sheet Feeder with Automatic Film Cutter
Maximum versatility for any production setup: print continuously from standard 30cm roll films or load individual A3/A4 transfer sheets with the upgraded feeder platform. Once printing completes, the integrated automated cutting system precisely slices the film with a smooth, clean edge — reducing labor, eliminating crooked manual cuts, and saving precious PET film.
White Ink Circulation, Stirring & Dual Alarms
White DTF ink contains heavy titanium dioxide pigment that easily settles. The M1630 Pro solves this with an active white ink circulation loop and bottle stirring motor to maintain optimal viscosity. Real-time audio sensors sound an audible alarm if ink levels run low, or when the waste ink reservoir is near full, preventing costly dry-firing and overflows.
Dedicated 15.6" DTF Laptop Included with Every Unit
Avoid computer driver conflicts, macOS incompatibilities, or leaking personal data during remote technical sessions. Every M1630 Pro comes bundled with a dedicated 15.6" IPS 1080P Windows 11 laptop (8GB RAM + 128GB SSD) pre-loaded with verified print drivers, professional RIP software, and video tutorials. Simply unbox, plug into power, and begin printing immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common pre-sales questions about the Lancelot M1630 Pro A3 DTF Printer Machine.
What materials can the M1630 Pro DTF printer transfer onto?
Unlike traditional DTG which is limited mostly to 100% cotton, DTF prints on almost any fabric: 100% cotton, polyester, nylon, denim, canvas, spandex, fleece hoodies, synthetic sportswear, and leather, across both light and dark backgrounds.
Does DTF printing require fabric pretreatment?
No! One of the biggest advantages of DTF is zero liquid pretreatment. You do not need spray guns, pretreatment machines, or messy liquid chemicals. The hot-melt powder applied by the auto shaker dryer acts as the adhesive bonding agent.
How does the Holiday Protection Mode work?
The machine includes an automated maintenance system. Even when your workshop is closed for weekends or extended holidays, the printer automatically executes timed printhead moistening, cleaning, and white ink circulation cycles, preventing nozzle drying and nozzle clogging completely.
What is the printing speed of the M1630 Pro?
Equipped with the industrial Epson F1080 (XP600) printhead, the M1630 Pro completes an A4 transfer in ~3 minutes and an A3 transfer in ~7 minutes (6PASS: 1 m²/h, 8PASS: 0.7 m²/h) — twice as fast as older converted L1800/R1390 printers.
What computer and software are included in the package?
Every M1630 Pro bundle includes a dedicated 15.6" IPS HD Windows 11 laptop pre-installed with verified print drivers, RIP software, ICC color management profiles, and step-by-step video training manuals for true plug-and-play operation.
How does the automatic film cutting system work?
The printer features a built-in automated film cutter blade. When printing finishes, the cutter cleanly slices the film roll across the width with a neat edge, eliminating manual trimming with scissors and saving valuable PET film.
Are DTF printed transfers machine washable?
Yes! DTF transfers feature outstanding wash durability and stretch elasticity. When heat pressed at 150°C–160°C for 15 seconds, the print withstands 50+ commercial washing cycles without cracking, peeling, or color fading.
Does the printer support both roll film and sheet film?
Yes. The upgraded feeding mechanism supports continuous 30cm roll films up to 40 meters, as well as individual pre-cut A3 and A4 transfer film sheets, providing complete flexibility for small sampling or continuous roll production.
How does the white ink circulation and alarm system prevent clogs?
White DTF ink contains heavy pigment. The M1630 Pro features active circulation between the supply bottle and dampers, paired with a motorized bottle stirrer. If ink runs low or the waste tank is full, audio-visual sensors sound a warning beep immediately.
What is your warranty policy on this DTF machine?
We provide an official 12-month factory warranty covering mainboards, power supplies, motors, and heating elements, along with lifetime 24/7 one-on-one remote technical support from GNFEI engineers.
How long does shipping take to USA and Europe?
Orders are dispatched in wooden crate packaging within 2-5 business days. Transit takes 5-9 business days door-to-door via DHL/FedEx air freight, or economical sea/rail shipping with customs clearance included.
