Why I Love the Lancelot M1630 Pro

This powerful printer takes care of everything: printing, applying the DTF powder, curing the film with heat, and rolling it up neatly for use. While it’s working its magic, I’m free to do other tasks on my computer – talk about efficiency!

Step-by-Step: My Process

🧰 Easy Assembly — Just Needed a Little Help!

Before diving into printing, I want to highlight how easy it was to assemble both the printer stand and the powder shaker unit. The components came well-organized and nicely protected in wooden crates, and although the machines are a bit heavy, the setup process was straightforward and intuitive.

I personally needed a bit of help to lift and move everything into place — so if you’re like me and prefer not to lift heavy equipment, I recommend having someone assist you for safety. Once positioned, everything came together quickly and smoothly, with clearly labeled parts and simple instructions. It was a great start to what turned out to be a very seamless DTF experience!

To use the Lancelot M1630 Pro effectively:

  1. Setup the printer with your DTF film roll.
  2. Make sure you’re working in a well-ventilated area. I placed the vent hose outdoors from my garage to avoid inhaling any fumes.
  3. Adjust your printer settings on the screen:
    • Preheating Temperature: 80°C
    • Drying Area: 125°C
    • Powder Shaker Speed: 5
    • Spraying Speed: 2
  4. Once the design is printing, the powder is applied automatically and the film passes through the curing oven.
  5. The finished film rolls up neatly on the take-up reel.
  6. After printing, cut the film and it’s ready to press onto fabric.

Pressing the Transfer

You’ll need a heat press to apply the design:

  1. Pre-press your shirt for 10 seconds at 320°F to remove moisture and wrinkles.
  2. Use a lint roller to clean the fabric.
  3. Place the DTF transfer on the shirt, cover with a Teflon sheet, and press for 20 seconds at 320°F with 80kg of pressure.
  4. Let it cool completely, peel the film, then do a second press with the film placed back and covered by Teflon for 10 more seconds.

The result? A beautifully vibrant and soft design – and the process was smooth and super fast!
