Important Safety Warning:
It is imperative to operate the Prestige A3+ DTF printer and associated DTF processes in a WELL VENTILATED AREA. Always use appropriate protective equipment when working with DTF products. The use of a Fume Extractor is strongly recommended to manage fumes produced during TPU adhesive powder curing. Personal protective equipment (PPE), including full body coverings, respirators/N95 masks, goggles, and gloves, are recommended to protect against potential inhalation or skin contact with TPU adhesive powder (prior to curing). Inhaling TPU adhesive powder or fumes can be hazardous to your health. Use of DTF equipment, chemicals, powders, inks, and accessories is undertaken at the user’s sole risk. DTF equipment is intended for commercial use and is not recommended for residential or in-home settings. DTF inks and film require a humidity-controlled environment; maintaining humidity above 50% is highly recommended to minimize the risk of ink clogs and film buckling. Consider adding a Fume Extractor to your setup for sufficient fume management and a safer working environment.
