Best Selling DTF Printer

Are you still unsure how to choose a DTF printer to start your small business? Let's dive into our customers' choices!

With so many DTF printers on the market, it’s easy to feel unsure about which model offers the best value, performance, and reliability for your needs. This collection features the top 8 products that InkSonic customers trust the most, based on real-world usage, customer satisfaction, and sales performance.

Whether you’re just beginning your journey or upgrading your existing setup, these popular picks represent the smart choices made by hundreds of small business owners just like you.

Our best-sellers include a variety of options tailored to different needs and budgets. 

R1390 C13 is InkSonic’s most cost-effective DTF printer, known for its high-resolution output, anti-clog 3-in-1 white ink system, and air suction features for smooth printing.

L1800 E13A offering similar performance, is the most popular model due to its advanced heated platform for cold environments and more stable motherboard. Both the C13 and E13 models require regular maintenance, making them ideal for hands-on beginners or experienced users who want reliable, long-term results at a lower cost.

In 2025, we also launched upgraded versions of these two printer models - C13A/E13A, which realize the one-click ink set up, which is more friendly to beginners, ensuring a smooth and consistent flow while significantly reducing maintenance time and user error. Despite being a newly launched model, the E13A still makes it into the bestseller list thanks to its excellent performance.

XP600 U13 series is designed for speed and efficiency, making it ideal for beginners and users with high-volume printing needs. U13 model reduces maintenance and printing errors, boosting productivity by 150%, while the upgraded U13D features dual printheads for simultaneous white and color printing, increasing productivity by 250%—the highest among InkSonic printers. Perfect for uninterrupted, batch printing with professional-quality results.

Most people who choose XP600 series DTF printers also purchase a Powder Dryer & Shaker at the same time—That's why it is on our bestseller list. XP600's high-speed print feature comes together with an automated powder handling system that allows users to streamline their workflow and maximize productivity.

The inclusion of a shaker and dryer eliminates curing and the need for manual powder application, thereby conserving labor, mess, and chance of error. It is appropriate for users planning to maximize output, consistency of prints, and business expansion with an incorporated DTF printing system.

UV DTF printers have been gaining popularity because of the ease of use, low entry barrier, and high market demand. Though very recent, they have turned into immediate best-sellers because they are small, easy to set up, and 40–60% less expensive compared to traditional UV printers—and therefore ideal for small businesses and Etsy sellers. With the growing demand for personalized hard goods on websites like Etsy and TikTok, UV DTF product search-related products saw a 300% rise from 2022 to 2024 (Etsy Trends Report).

Offering low material costs ($0.10–$0.30 per decal) and high resale value, UV DTF printers provide a compelling ROI while enabling fast, flexible, and profitable customization on hard surfaces where other methods fall short.

Each product in this collection has been selected not just for its specs, but for its proven performance in real small business settings. We’ve listened to customer feedback, tracked usage patterns, and reviewed technical data to ensure every model listed here delivers the quality, durability, and ease of use that our customers need to grow. So, if you’re unsure about where to start, look no further.
