Durable Construction

The encoder strip is made of high-quality, high-transparency PET material and it can be used continuously without losing its properties and therefore in professional printing environments with proper DTF machine parts it can be relied upon for a long time and offered as a strong performer.

Smooth Tracking Performance

Printhead skipping, misalignment, or banding are all things that this device prevents while maintaining consistent image registration for the highest quality and most precise output.

Easy Installation

The 180 Encoder Strip is made for easy and fast replacement fitting most of the DTF and inkjet printers therefore allowing little downtime and easy installation.

Universal Fit

How It’s Used (DTF Workflow)

Install the Encoder Strip

Align the Platonink DTF 180 Encoder Strip to the manufacturer’s guide along the printer's carriage and attach it. Correctly tension it for the track to be precise.

Synchronize Printhead Movement

The printer's sensor works with the strip to keep monitoring and controlling the positioning of the carriage, thus taking care of the ink placement for sharp and professional prints.

Maintain Smooth Operation

Motion tracking of high precision allows the printhead to move accurately which prevents scenarios such as misalignment, banding, or skipped lines in complex as well as multi-layer printing.
