Roland DG Corporation announced a series of engineering and performance updates to the TY-300 Direct-to-Film (DTF) printer. 

Designed to support high-duty-cycle apparel production, the TY-300 features increased ink system capacity, improved white ink stability, and workflow optimizations.

“DTF continues to evolve at remarkable speed, and we know our customers rely on stable, high-performance systems that can sustain heavy production workloads,” said Ryugo Nimura, Executive Officer, Global Sales and Marketing Division, Roland DG. “With the updated TY-300, we have enhanced core components that directly impact throughput, uptime, and ink stability. These improvements ensure the TY-300 remains the benchmark for technical performance and production efficiency in the DTF category.”

The updated TY-300 achieves print speeds of up to 47 linear feet per hour in standard mode and 75 linear feet per hour in high-speed mode, delivering nearly 50 percent higher productivity than comparable DTF units. 

The printer features a dual-printhead architecture, optimized firing patterns, and high-efficiency drying control, enabling stable CMYK + White layering at high coverage with minimal grain and banding.

Reliability has also been strengthened through updates to the TY-300’s automatic maintenance system, including continuous ink circulation, scheduled head-refresh cycles, and user-replaceable maintenance components engineered for minimal downtime. 

Smart circulation stabilizes white-ink flow during idle periods, reducing clogging and purging requirements while extending printhead life. For production environments with multiple operators, these automated systems contribute to predictable performance and reduce manual intervention.

Advanced color management capabilities, including Roland DG’s True Rich Color technology, deliver broader gamut rendering, smoother gradients, and more stable grays. 

The system’s four-cartridge white ink configuration is designed to maintain consistent opacity across large or dense areas, improving edge crispness and fine-detail reproduction, even under fast-pass conditions. 

The printer is also designed for effortless integration with an optional shaker and dryer unit to automate the powder stage and sustain high-volume production. 

The TY-300 integrates seamlessly with Roland DG’s VersaWorks RIP, certified DTF film and powders, and Roland DG Care support, forming a unified DTF ecosystem designed for consistent output quality.
