How the Shaker and Dryer Work

  1. The printer lays down CMYK + white ink on DTF film.
  2. The shaker coats the wet ink with hot-melt powder and vibrates off the excess for reuse.
  3. The dryer melts the powder so the transfer is ready to press or store.

Add an air purifier for curing fumes and a heat press to apply transfers. Prices as listed November 2026 — ask about our packages, discounts and financing.

DTF Shaker & Dryer FAQ

Do I need a shaker dryer for DTF?

Not to print, but without one you powder and cure by hand with an oven or heat press, which is slow and wastes powder. For production, a shaker dryer is the standard.

Can I add a shaker dryer to the printer I already have?

Often yes — a standalone 24-inch powder shaker dryer can pair with most 24-inch DTF printers. Call 480-229-7806 with your model.

What is the cheapest DTF printer with a shaker and dryer?

The CobraFlex 13-inch 1-Head Mini package with mini shaker dryer, listed at $12,599.

Why choose a DTF printer with a shaker and dryer

A DTF printer with a built-in powder shaker and dryer applies hot-melt powder, shakes off the excess and cures the transfer automatically, so gang sheets come off the line ready to press. It removes the slowest hand step and keeps powder coverage even, which matters once you print sheets every day.

DTF dryer: common questions

What does a DTF dryer do?

It heats the powdered DTF film so the hot-melt adhesive powder melts onto the ink. Cured transfers can be pressed right away or stored for later.

Is a DTF dryer the same as a powder shaker?

No. The shaker applies the powder and shakes off the excess; the dryer cures it. Most shaker dryer units do both in one machine.
