Elevate your custom apparel business with the Procolored K13 DTF Printer — the upgraded 13" A3+ direct-to-film solution that delivers faster production, superior white opacity, and the same beginner-friendly innovations as the popular K13 Lite, but with meaningful performance advantages for growing operations.

Whether you're a small business owner, print-on-demand entrepreneur, or serious hobbyist ready to move beyond entry-level limitations, the K13 combines pro-level output with remarkably low maintenance, making high-quality DTF transfers accessible and profitable. We offer Business & Personal Financing on all Procolored DTF Printers.

Procolored K13 vs K13 Lite: Which Should You Choose?

Both the Procolored K13 and K13 Lite share Procolored’s signature user-friendly design, including white ink circulation every 30 minutes, Infrared Printhead SafeGuard System (detects debris as small as 2 mm and reduces common failures by ~90%), automated cleaning every 10 hours (cuts white ink clogging risk by up to 85%), one-touch ink pumping, customizable pixel-style theme touchscreen (Galaxy Panda, Fluffy Panda, and more), G7-certified color accuracy, precise color curve matching, and the intuitive Procolored Studio Lite RIP software.

Key upgrades on the K13 make it the smarter choice for higher productivity and better print quality:

• Printhead: LH-600 (K13) vs LH-500 (K13 Lite) — the K13’s more robust printhead supports higher performance and reliability under demanding use.
• Color Configuration: CMYK + WW dual white channels (K13) vs CMYK + W single white (K13 Lite) — dual white delivers noticeably denser, more opaque whites with better coverage, especially on dark garments, plus improved vibrancy and durability.
• Print Speed: ~10 minutes per A4/Letter (6 prints per hour) on the K13 vs 12.5 minutes (5 prints per hour) on the K13 Lite — a meaningful ~20% productivity boost for growing order volumes.
• Resolution: High-resolution 1440 × 1400 DPI (8-pass mode) on the K13 for crisp, detailed transfers.

Bottom line: Choose the K13 Lite for the lowest entry cost into premium DTF. Step up to the Procolored K13 when you want faster turnaround, superior white ink performance, and headroom for scaling your custom apparel business without jumping to larger industrial machines.

Advanced Features That Set the Procolored K13 Apart

LiteHead Technology & Easy Maintenance Engineered for beginners yet built for daily professional use. The easy-maintenance printhead, combined with automatic cleaning cycles and one-touch ink extraction/pumping, dramatically reduces downtime and nozzle issues. Lower maintenance costs and extended printhead lifespan mean more profit per print.

White Ink Circulation System White ink circulates automatically every 30 minutes to prevent sedimentation and ensure consistent flow and opacity — critical for reliable results on every job.

Infrared Printhead SafeGuard System Real-time detection of film warping or tiny debris (down to 2 mm) prevents costly printhead damage and reduces common failures by approximately 90%.

G7 Certified Color Accuracy + Intelligent Color Curves Achieve exceptional screen-to-fabric color fidelity with no manual tweaking. Procolored’s calibrated curves eliminate color cast and deliver vibrant, consistent results across cotton, polyester, blends, canvas, and more.

Customizable Theme Touchscreen Intuitive visual interface with switchable pixel-art themes for a personalized, modern workspace experience.

Procolored Studio Lite RIP Software Beginner-friendly yet powerful. Auto-detects image formats, distinguishes RGB vs CMYK+WW modes, and applies preset color curves for professional output with minimal learning curve. Windows compatible (C: drive ≥50GB, RAM ≥8GB recommended).

Upgraded Smokeless Oven Compatibility Pair with Procolored’s smokeless curing oven (available in bundles) to dramatically reduce odors and air pollution compared to traditional DTF setups — ideal for home studios, small shops, or health-conscious environments.

Maximum Versatility Prints up to 118" long × 13" wide on PET roll film. Perfect for t-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, denim, canvas bags, hats, and promotional products.
