A production line consisting of the Zodiac Starter printer and an automatic oven with an integrated powder shaker is an excellent, maintenance-free solution to get started. The printer is based on a single Epson F1080 printhead operating in a CMYK+WW configuration. It is an economical and easy-to-use printer that nevertheless comes equipped with many useful features. The entire line is something that will appeal to anyone targeting small or medium-sized yet automated production.
In addition to the version with an automatic oven and shaker, a version with a manual desktop oven is also available. The manual version is still the same compact desktop printer, but this time it is not paired with an automatic oven. However, it can easily be upgraded to the automatic version.

If you are just starting your journey with independent DTF printing, Zodiac Starter is exactly what you are looking for! There is nothing stopping you from starting with the manual version and later upgrading it with a fully automatic oven. Zodiac Starter is equipment that adapts to your requirements and grows together with your business!
That is not all. Our extensive range of DTF equipment also includes plotters and trimmers specially designed for cutting DTF film into sheets. So, without replacing any equipment, you can expand the Zodiac Starter set from a sheet-fed printer with a manual oven to a complete production line consisting of a printer, powder shaker, advanced oven and plotter!

Do not let the printer’s inconspicuous size fool you. Beneath its housing, it conceals a multitude of excellent solutions. To protect the printhead, the device features a white ink circulation system. Its circulation prevents pigment from settling and clogging the printheads, ensuring smooth printing and excellent white quality on transfers. Thanks to it, the ink is always ready for use, eliminating downtime and ensuring production reliability. The Zodiac Starter printer will take care of your printhead, helping you avoid costly replacements and repairs.
In addition to the printer, the production line consists of an automatic oven with an integrated powder shaker. The oven’s key advantage over other devices of this type is its advanced air filter, which allows the device to be placed in an enclosed room without the need to install an exhaust system. Its special design makes maximum use of warm-air circulation, so the oven housing does not heat up as much and does not raise the room temperature. This solution also means that the device consumes significantly less power. Up to 30% less than competing ovens for curing DTF prints!
At the end of the line, there is a roller that automatically tensions and winds the film passing through the oven. This not only makes work easier but also enables fully automated production. The oven settings are controlled using a controller with a touchscreen display.
When you purchase any DTF printer or production line from Viscar’s range, you gain access to all consumables. Our offer includes tested and proven printing films, inks and adhesives. All samples we print are produced on our printers using our media. If you liked their quality, you can be sure that those printed by you will be just as good.
Upgrading the set with a manual oven to one with a powder shaker and automatic oven is also a solution that has already been proven. So, if you want to upgrade your set, contact us!
