For many people and companies interested in entering the Direct-to-Film (DTF) market for garment and fabric printing, importing a DTF printer directly from a Chinese factory seems like the cheapest option. Chinese factories have high economy of scale rates, ensuring low prices.
However, there are several problems associated with this approach. Language barriers, understanding the Chinese business system, and ensuring the right machine is purchased for the right purpose can be challenging. Knowing which costs are included and which are considered extra, and the need for a customs clearing agent, can also be difficult. Additionally, there may be concerns about the warranty, installation, and after-sales support, as well as software compatibility.
You could spend a lot of time and money trying to learn about all these things and hiring people to help you through each process. However, if you’re considering direct import, you’re likely operating on a limited budget, and these additional factors can be costly.
There’s a simple solution: go with a company that is rapidly becoming a market leader in large-format printing and specifically in the DTF printing market in South Africa. AM.CO.ZA not only has direct ties to Chinese manufacturers but also offers state-of-the-art solutions at competitive prices with full warranty and back-up support if desired. The devices are built using market-leading components, as used in top brand machines worldwide.
