Procolored K13 Lite DTF Printer
Beginner-focused A3 machine with 30-minute white ink circulation
Overview
The K13 Lite is Procolored's entry A3 printer, built around what the manufacturer calls LiteHead technology — a printhead designed for lower maintenance cost and a longer warranty period than its standard heads. White ink is circulated every 30 minutes to prevent sedimentation, and an infrared printhead safeguard system watches for film warping and debris in real time to avoid head strikes. Operation is via one-touch ink pumping and a visual touch screen.
