American Print & Supply has launched an all-new system it’s calling “The Kraken,” its most advanced direct-to-film (DTF) printer to date. Designed for decorators and apparel producers ready to scale without compromising quality, The Kraken features an impressive eight Epson I3200 print heads, extended color capabilities and blazing-fast output, “All delivered in a turnkey, white glove package that is standard of the hands-on service APAS customers have come to expect.”

Built for serious volume and next-level precision, The Kraken prints at over 650 square feet per hour with a dual rail magnetic drive system, eliminating belt drag and boosting speed and stability. With a 32-inch print width, it’s compatible with larger roll media and ideal for high-capacity workflows.

Smarter, Cleaner, Better DTF Printing

“We wanted to build something that wasn’t just faster. It had to be smarter, cleaner, and ready to address the needs of the growing DTF market,” said Rob Super, president and founder at American Print & Supply. “The Kraken is built to grow with your business and dominate the most demanding production environments.”

Other features include:

  • Support for up to 13 color combinations, including CMYK + RGBO, SuperBlue+, and dual white channels
  • Extended Smart Duster with a dual oven design to match speed with consistent curing
  • Complete turnkey setup including RIP software, startup supplies, OnSite installation, and training
  • Custom color configuration tailored to each buyer’s production goals

According to American Print & Supply the printer ships with everything needed to hit the ground running, including a pre-configured laptop, RIP software (Digital Factory V11 with optional NeoStampa), a 32-inch-by-656-foot roll of premium DTF film, full ink set based on the customer’s needs, cleaning solution and premium powder.
