Friday, October 31, 2025
The new 13-inch K13 Lite DTF printer combines Epson-based printing, Pro RIP software, and automated maintenance to meet rising demand for accessible desktop textile printing solutions.
ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- At this year's PRINTING United Expo, held October 22-24 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, desktop DTF printer manufacturer Procolored presented its latest printing solutions, including the newly released K13 Lite model. The company exhibited at Booth #4463 during the event.
The rise of desktop DTF printing continues to blur the line between consumer and professional production.Organized by the PRINTING United Alliance, PRINTING United Expo is recognized as one of the most comprehensive trade shows in the printing and graphic arts industry, bringing together technologies and suppliers across segments such as commercial, apparel decoration, wide-format, packaging, and industrial printing.
Compact K13 Lite Highlights Focus on Small Business Users
Among the products on display, the K13 Lite DTF printer drew steady interest from attendees seeking compact, accessible printing systems for small-scale production. The model offers a 13-inch (330 mm) maximum print width and supports CMYK + White ink configuration, allowing transfer work onto dark and light textiles alike.
It is equipped with what the manufacturer terms "LiteHead Technology", designed to lower maintenance costs and extend printhead lifespan via automated cleaning every 10 hours and white-ink circulation to reduce clogging risk.
The machine runs on proprietary "Pro RIP" software, featuring a visualised interface, one-click ink priming, G7-certified color curves for screen-to-fabric match, and a beginner-friendly workflow aimed at individual creators and small business owners.
With its relatively modest footprint (approximately 29.1 × 12.6 × 9.1 / 740 × 320 × 230 mm) and weight (~18 kg), the K13 Lite is positioned to fit desktop or studio-scale environments.
In this context, the product supports the broader trend of on-demand, short-run apparel and customization printing, as more smaller players enter the market with lower-barrier equipment.
Interactive Demonstration Area Engages Attendees
An interactive T-shirt printing zone allowed attendees to participate in hands-on demonstrations, where visitors could print and heat-press their own customized shirts. The activity attracted considerable participation throughout the show, illustrating growing public interest in desktop DTF technologies for personalized and small-batch production.
New Mascot "Dream Noa" Debuts in Orlando
PRINTING United 2025 also marked the public unveiling of Procolored's mascot, "Dream Noa," a panda character symbolizing creativity and approachability. The mascot drew consistent attention from attendees, serving as a visual centerpiece and popular photo opportunity during the exhibition.
Digital Engagement Extends the Show Experience
To connect with audiences beyond the trade floor, Procolored hosted live streaming sessions via YouTube, featuring booth tours, product demonstrations, and interviews. The company also offered show-exclusive and livestream discounts, part of its effort to engage both in-person and remote viewers.
