DTGPRO Announces Panthera® V3 DTF Printer 2X2 Upgrade-Ready System for Professional Apparel Production

Irwindale, CA — [22 Jan, 2026] —The rapid expansion of Direct to Film (DTF) technology continues to reshape the global garment printing industry. Responding to this momentum, DTGPRO, a manufacturer-direct leader in textile printing equipment, has officially spotlighted its latest professional solution: the DTF Printer Panthera® V3 2X2 Upgrade-Ready System.

Designed for print shops seeking industrial-level output without enterprise-level pricing, the Panthera® V3 introduces a scalable, high-performance DTF platform engineered to grow alongside modern production businesses

Meeting the Growing Demand for High-Performance DTF Printing

As print shops transition away from traditional DTG and toner-based systems, the DTF Printer category has emerged as the most versatile and cost-effective solution under $50,000. The Panthera® V3 2X2 system addresses this shift by combining speed, durability, and professional print quality into a compact 24-inch format.

Powered by a dual next-generation Epson I3200 printhead engine, the system delivers enhanced accuracy, improved ink control, and extended printhead lifespan—offering up to 20–30% performance improvement over previous-generation platforms.

With production capabilities reaching 200–250 T-shirt prints per hour, the Panthera® V3 positions itself as a true production-grade DTF solution rather than an entry-level printer.

Upgrade-Ready Architecture Built for Business Growth

One of the defining innovations of this DTF Printer is its upgrade-ready design. The Panthera® V3 2X2 system allows users to seamlessly expand to a 2X4 configuration by adding the official upgrade kit when production demand increases.

This approach enables print businesses to:

• Enter the DTF market with controlled upfront investment
• Scale output without replacing core equipment
• Future-proof their operation as order volumes grow

Unlike fixed-configuration systems, the Panthera® V3 evolves with the business—making it a strategic long-term asset rather than a short-term purchase.

Productivity That Outperforms Traditional DTG Systems

Compared to DTG printers priced between $20,000 and $50,000, the Panthera® V3 delivers 200% to 400% higher productivity, while eliminating the need for garment pretreatment. This efficiency has accelerated DTF adoption across small, medium, and large print operations.

Key performance highlights include:

• Dual printhead system (dedicated CMYK and white ink channels)
• Embedded roll feeder supporting wide DTF film rolls up to 65 cm
• Continuous ink tank feed system for uninterrupted production

The system is engineered to maintain vivid colour saturation and durability while operating at production-level speeds.

Versatility Across Fabrics and Applications

The Panthera® V3 DTF Printer supports a broad range of textile applications, making it ideal for diversified print shops. It produces consistent, high-quality transfers for:

• Cotton and polyester
• Blended fabrics (including 50/50 blends)
• Denim, leather, and specialty materials

Unlike DTG technology—which is primarily limited to cotton substrates—DTF printing expands production opportunities while maintaining a soft hand feel comparable to high-end DTG output.

Manufacturer-Direct Value Without Compromise

DTGPRO’s manufacturer-direct model plays a key role in the Panthera® V3’s competitive positioning. With over a decade of experience producing equipment for major brands and distributors, DTGPRO prioritises performance, reliability, and results over cosmetic features that drive unnecessary costs.

By removing distributor markups and excess branding overhead, the Panthera® V3 delivers professional-grade capability at a significantly lower price point than comparable systems that can exceed $40,000.

Comprehensive System with Training Included

Each Panthera® V3 2X2 purchase includes a complete professional setup:

• RIP software
• Driver software
• Embedded roll feeder
• Virtual onboarding and structured training

Additional manuals and video tutorials are provided to support consistent results from day one, reinforcing DTGPRO’s focus on customer success beyond the hardware itself.

Engineered for Reliability in Production Environments

The Panthera® V3 is designed for continuous commercial operation, incorporating features that enhance stability and reduce downtime:

• Integrated humidity sensor
• Ink tank continuous feed system
• Ethernet-ready RIP integration

A six-month manufacturer warranty on non-consumable components further supports operational confidence for growing businesses.

Why the Panthera® V3 Matters in Today’s Market

DTF technology is no longer an emerging trend—it is now one of the most widely adopted textile printing methods worldwide for sub-$50,000 systems. The Panthera® V3 represents this evolution, delivering speed, scalability, and material flexibility without sacrificing print quality.

For print shops aiming to increase output, reduce production costs, or move beyond the limitations of DTG, this DTF Printer offers a compelling, future-ready solution.
