Presale Notification - First Batch Expected August 2026
Preorder the DTFLINE VANTAGE CORE™ - Special Introductory Pricing
The DTFLINE VANTAGE CORE™ is now available for preorder with special introductory presale pricing starting at only $2,500. The first incoming batch is currently expected to arrive in August 2026, and orders will be fulfilled in the order received ? first buy, first ship.
This special presale pricing is expected to increase to approximately $3,000 after the first batch lands in August. Customers who preorder early can lock in the lower introductory price while also securing priority placement in the first available DTGPRO fulfillment queue.
Due to strong demand and limited first-batch availability, this presale may oversell the initial August allocation. Orders placed in July are expected to ship from the August batch, while orders placed later or after the first batch is filled may ship in September 2026 or later depending on incoming inventory and production availability.
The VANTAGE CORE is the most accessible model in the VANTAGE family, built around a single proven Epson XP600 printhead. While it is slightly slower than the standard VANTAGE, it still delivers strong real-world production speeds of approximately 12-16 sq ft per hour, compared to up to approximately 18 sq ft per hour on the standard VANTAGE.
More importantly, the VANTAGE CORE is a major step above older modified desktop-based DTF systems such as Epson L1800 / 1390 printers. Instead of relying on a converted photo printer platform, VANTAGE CORE is designed as a true dedicated DTF production unit with a built-in roll feeder, cutter, heater, vacuum platen, white ink management, and a production-focused workflow. It is also much faster than those systems, while often competing in the same approximate $3,000 price range.
Intro Price From $2,500 Special introductory presale pricing starts at $2,500 and is expected to rise to $3,000 after the first batch lands.

Single XP600 Printhead Built with a proven Epson XP600 printhead for an excellent balance of print quality, reliability, affordability, and operating cost.

Faster Than L1800 / 1390 Systems Outperforms typical modified desktop DTF printers with better workflow, roll-fed production, improved consistency, and reduced manual handling.
