In this video, I take an in-depth look at the Obziy DP1 Direct To Film (DTF) printer and its complete workflow, from unboxing and setup to printing, curing, heat pressing, and long-term durability testing. After a full month of hands-on use, I cover real-world print quality, the Epson XP600 print head, ink system, software experience, and automation features, along with detailed comparisons between 6-pass, 8-pass, and 12-pass print modes. You’ll also see finished shirt examples, wash durability results, and how the DP1 fits into a small business or home production environment. If you’re considering getting into DTF printing or looking for an affordable, fully featured DTF system, this review breaks down what works, what to watch out for, and whether the Obziy DP1 is worth backing on Kickstarter or buying for your shop. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Find more information about the Obziy DP1 Printer (Affiliate Links): https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/obziy/obziy-dp1-series-dtf-printer-customize-easy-profit-breezy?ref=deb05f Follow Obziy for updates, project ideas, and more: https://www.facebook.com/obziy https://www.instagram.com/obziy.official --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Create a free profile at https://www.3dprintlog.com today, and start recording all your print settings and filament usage! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 👀 See my recommended printers, filament, and accessories on my Amazon Idea Lists! 🆕 3D Printing Equipment for Beginners: https://amzn.to/2PNblSL ⚡ 3D Printing Equipment for Intermediate Hobbyists: https://amzn.to/2OOuQOy 💯 3D Printing Equipment for Advanced Users - Liquid Resin SLA/DLP: https://amzn.to/2PpqWuK 🎁 See the TEVO Tornado on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2TnhQhn 🎥 Hoffman Engineering Youtube/Video Equipment - See on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2O9oP9I 🆕 Microphone - Sennheiser XSW-D Lavalier Set w/ ME-II - https://amzn.to/2F6ORYY Thank you to all my Patreons for helping make these videos possible.

About This Video

I spent 30 days putting the Obziy DP1 DTF printer through a full, real-world workflow—unboxing, setup, printing, curing, and heat pressing—so I could answer the only question that matters: is it actually worth it when you’re the one running the jobs day after day? I walk through the hardware and day-to-day usability, including the Epson XP600 print head, the ink system, and what the software experience feels like when you’re trying to get consistent results instead of just a one-off demo print. I also compare 6-pass, 8-pass, and 12-pass modes so you can see what you gain (and what you give up) in speed versus quality. On top of that, I show finished shirt examples and do durability testing over time, because DTF is pointless if it looks great on day one and falls apart after a few washes. By the end, you’ll know where the DP1 fits for a small business or home production setup, what parts of the system feel automated and “easy,” and what you should watch out for if you’re thinking about backing it on Kickstarter or buying it for your shop.
