Built for
Serious Small Business
Designed for real production.
Roll-Fed Production Workflow
Built-In Film Cutter
A production-ready DTF solution built for growing apparel businesses that need reliability, consistency, and scalable output.
Why the Prestige R2 Pro DTF Printer
Stands Out
Commercial-Grade Performance in a Small Format
The Epson i1600 printhead delivers sharp detail, smooth gradients, and consistent ink placement built for reliable production output.
Roll-Fed Production Workflow
The 13-inch roll system enables continuous gang sheet printing, improving efficiency and reducing manual handling during larger jobs.
White Ink Circulation System
Built-in white ink circulation helps prevent clogging and supports consistent opacity on dark garments in daily production.
Built-In Sheet Cutter
An onboard cutting system trims transfers automatically, eliminating the need for a separate cutter and streamlining production.
Who is the Prestige R2 Pro Printer For?
The Prestige R2 Pro sits in the sweet spot between entry-level desktop DTF printers and large commercial 24”+ systems.
It’s built for:
- Consistency
- Profitability
- Scalability
If you’re ready to produce professional transfers at real production volume, the R2 Pro is built for that step up.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Prestige R2 Pro a commercial printer?
Yes. It is designed for small-to-mid commercial production environments, not hobby-level use.
How does the Prestige R2 Pro compare to sublimation?
| Unlike sublimation, DTF works on cotton, dark garments, and blended fabrics. Sublimation only works on polyester or polymer-coated surfaces and requires light colors. |
How does the Prestige R2 Pro compare to DTG printers?
| DTF offers broader fabric compatibility and often lower upfront cost than DTG. DTG prints directly onto garments but requires pre-treatment and typically higher investment. |
What types of apparel can it print on?
Using DTF transfers, it works on cotton, polyester, blends, denim, canvas, leather, and spandex, including light and dark fabrics.
What is the Prestige R2 Pro DTF printer?
| The Prestige R2 Pro is a 13-inch roll-fed Direct-to-Film (DTF) printer designed for small to mid-size apparel businesses. It prints designs onto transfer film using CMYK and white ink, which are then heat-pressed onto garments. |
Is the Prestige R2 Pro good for a small business?
| Yes. The R2 Pro is built for production use in small print shops, Etsy sellers scaling up, and embroidery shops adding garment decoration services. It offers higher reliability and output than entry-level desktop DTF printers. |
What makes the Prestige R2 Pro different from cheaper DTF printers?
| The R2 Pro uses a commercial Epson i1600 printhead, includes white ink circulation, supports roll-fed printing, and features an integrated cutter. Many lower-cost models lack these production-focused features. |
Does the Prestige R2 Pro have an integrated cutter?
| Yes. The built-in cutter trims printed film automatically, eliminating the need for a separate cutting machine and streamlining production workflow. |
What size prints can the Prestige R2 Pro handle?
| The printer supports 13-inch wide roll media, making it suitable for full-size shirt graphics and gang sheets for multiple designs. |
Is the Prestige R2 Pro beginner friendly?
The R2 Pro is considered professional equipment. Training is recommended, and users should follow setup guides and system requirements carefully.
