Buying a DTF printer is a business decision.
For many buyers, the goal is not to purchase the highest-cost configuration available. The goal is to get the printing functions required for everyday apparel work at an equipment cost that makes sense for the business.
The EraSmart A3L 1390 DTF Printer is built around that idea.
It combines a 1390 print head with up to 340mm printing width, CMYK + White output, white ink circulation, automatic cleaning, roll and sheet DTF film support, and EraRIP compatibility.
The A3L configuration is positioned for buyers who place greater weight on initial equipment cost while still requiring the essential functions of an A3 DTF production setup.
Its yellow and black color-blocking exterior gives the machine a clear industrial appearance while distinguishing the A3L series visually from other EraSmart A3 configurations.
Lower equipment cost only makes sense when the machine can still perform the work the buyer purchased it to do.
The A3L 1390 retains the core functions required for regular DTF transfer printing:
1390 Print Head
340mm Maximum Printing Width
CMYK + White Printing
White Ink Circulation
Automatic Cleaning
Roll & Sheet DTF Film
EraRIP / AcroRIP 9.03
1440dpi Printing Resolution
Instead of positioning the machine around additional complexity, the A3L focuses on the functions buyers regularly need for A3 garment transfer production.
A common purchasing mistake is comparing printers only by asking which model has more features.
A better question is:
What does my actual production require?
If your planned work mainly involves A3-size DTF transfers for apparel and suitable textile applications, consider the requirements one by one.
The A3L supports a maximum printing width of 340mm.
This covers many common garment transfer layouts without requiring a larger-format printing platform.
The machine uses CMYK + WW and includes white ink circulation.
This provides the white layer required for many DTF applications involving dark and colored garments.
Both roll and sheet DTF film are supported.
This allows the operator to choose media according to the production job.
The A3L works with EraRIP and AcroRIP 9.03.
Automatic print head cleaning is included.
When these functions match the work you plan to produce, the purchasing decision can focus more clearly on the configuration and investment level that fit your business.
The A3L uses a single 1390 print head with CMYK + White ink.
Printing resolution reaches 1440dpi, with an A3 print at 1440dpi taking approximately 5 minutes under the listed configuration.
For buyers evaluating equipment cost, these specifications provide a clear reference point for understanding what the machine is designed to deliver.
The purpose of the A3L is not to create a new performance category around the 1390 platform.
Its role is to provide the required A3 DTF functions through a more cost-conscious product configuration.
The A3L provides a maximum printing width of 340mm.
This makes the machine suitable for many common DTF transfer layouts used for:
T-shirt graphics
Apparel logos
Team graphics
Promotional clothing
Custom garment artwork
Small textile graphics
Suitable fabric merchandise
The final transfer size should always be planned according to the printable width and the dimensions of the finished product.
One of the configuration differences of the A3L is its ink tank arrangement.
The machine uses:
White Ink Tank: 250ml
CMYK Ink Tanks: 100ml
This configuration keeps a larger capacity for white ink while using smaller CMYK tanks.
White ink plays an important role in DTF production because many transfers require a white underbase, particularly for dark or colored garments.
The A3L ink arrangement is part of the product's overall cost-conscious configuration rather than a claim of higher printing performance.
White ink requires appropriate management during DTF operation.
The A3L includes a white ink circulation system to help maintain ink movement as part of the printing workflow.
This function works together with correct ink handling, operating procedures, environmental conditions, and routine maintenance.
For buyers comparing lower-cost equipment, confirming that white ink management is included is more useful than evaluating purchase price alone.
The A3L includes automatic print head cleaning.
This assists with routine printer operation and reduces some of the manual steps involved in the cleaning process.
Automatic cleaning does not remove the need for regular DTF printer maintenance.
Operators should still follow the correct maintenance schedule, use appropriate ink, and keep the printer within the recommended operating environment.
The A3L supports both roll and sheet DTF film.
This gives buyers more flexibility without requiring separate printing equipment for each media format.
Can be used for:
Samples
Individual artwork
Test prints
Small transfer jobs
Can be used for:
Repeated artwork
Multiple transfers
Regular production sequences
Longer printing jobs
The appropriate format depends on the actual order and production workflow.
The A3L supports EraRIP and AcroRIP 9.03.
Supported artwork formats include:
TIFF
JPEG
JPG
PNG
The RIP software provides the environment for preparing artwork and managing the printing process before output.
For DTF production, software should be considered part of the complete equipment configuration rather than an afterthought after the printer arrives.
Not every business wants to allocate the same amount of capital to its first or next DTF printer.
The A3L provides another A3 option for buyers who evaluate equipment according to both required functions and purchasing cost.
Businesses producing custom garments can use the A3L for regular DTF transfer work within its 340mm printing width.
The machine covers the main printing functions required for many everyday apparel applications.
Some buyers already know they want:
1390
A3 printing width
CMYK + White
White ink circulation
Roll and sheet film
For these buyers, the next question becomes whether they need a higher-cost configuration or whether a more cost-conscious A3L setup already covers their requirements.
A distributor may need more than one DTF price level in the product catalog.
The A3L can provide an additional purchasing option for customers who prioritize acquisition cost while still requiring the main A3 DTF printing functions.
This allows distributors to address a broader range of buyer budgets without presenting every customer with the same machine configuration.
A lower equipment price is useful only when the machine fits the intended work.
Before purchasing, evaluate:
Print head configuration
Printing width
Printing resolution
White ink system
Film compatibility
RIP software
Cleaning functions
Ink capacity
Operating environment
Supplier support
The goal is not simply to find the lowest-priced machine.
The goal is to avoid paying for a configuration that does not match your requirements while still purchasing the functions your production actually depends on.
The A3L is positioned as a more cost-conscious A3 DTF configuration.
For buyers managing equipment budgets carefully, this can make it easier to allocate capital across the complete production setup rather than concentrating the entire budget on the printer alone.
The lower-cost positioning does not remove the main functions identified in this configuration:
1390 printing
340mm width
CMYK + White
White ink circulation
Automatic cleaning
Roll and sheet film
RIP software compatibility
This gives buyers a clearer way to evaluate cost against actual production requirements.
A DTF business requires more than the printer.
Depending on the workflow, the buyer may also need:
DTF film
DTF ink
Adhesive powder
Curing equipment
Heat press equipment
Maintenance supplies
Choosing a more cost-conscious printer configuration can leave more of the initial equipment budget available for the rest of the production workflow.
For wholesale and distribution buyers, the A3L creates another product tier within an A3 DTF catalog.
This can help address customers whose purchasing decisions are strongly influenced by initial equipment cost while keeping the product within the 1390 A3 DTF category.
The EraSmart A3L 1390 DTF Printer — Yellow & Black Edition is not positioned around adding more specifications simply to make the feature list longer.
It is built around a different purchasing priority.
Keep the functions required for regular A3 DTF production, use a configuration designed with equipment cost in mind, and invest according to what your business actually needs.
For buyers who need 1390 printing, a 340mm working width, CMYK + White, white ink circulation, automatic cleaning, roll and sheet film support, and RIP software compatibility, the A3L provides another way to enter the A3 DTF category without automatically moving to a higher-cost configuration.
The right comparison is not simply:
Which printer costs more?
It is:
Which configuration contains the functions my production actually requires?
| Buying Consideration | EraSmart A3L 1390 | What the Buyer Should Evaluate |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase Position | Cost-conscious A3 configuration | Available equipment budget |
| Print Head | 1390 | Required printing platform |
| Print Width | Up to 340mm | Typical artwork dimensions |
| Color | CMYK + WW | Light and dark garment requirements |
| White Ink Management | White ink circulation | Regular white ink workflow |
| Cleaning | Automatic cleaning | Maintenance requirements |
| Film | Roll & Sheet | Job and media requirements |
| RIP | EraRIP / AcroRIP 9.03 | Artwork preparation |
| White Ink Capacity | 250ml | Expected white ink usage |
| CMYK Capacity | 100ml | Expected color ink usage |
| Best Fit | Buyers balancing functions and equipment cost | Actual production needs |
A higher purchase price does not automatically make a printer more appropriate for every buyer.
The configuration should follow the work.

The A3L 1390 is positioned as a cost-conscious A3 DTF configuration.
It retains the listed core functions required for regular A3 DTF production while giving buyers another equipment option when initial purchasing cost is an important part of the decision.
Not according to the listed specifications.
The A3L supports printing resolution up to 1440dpi and uses a single 1390 print head.
Purchase price and print resolution should be evaluated separately rather than assuming that a lower-cost configuration automatically means a lower listed resolution.
The maximum printing width is 340mm.
This covers many common DTF transfer layouts used for apparel and suitable textile products.
The listed A3L configuration uses:
250ml White Ink Tank
and
100ml CMYK Ink Tanks
This ink arrangement is one of the configuration differences of the A3L series.
Yes.
The machine includes a white ink circulation system and uses a CMYK + White ink configuration.
Yes.
Automatic print head cleaning is included.
Regular manual inspection and maintenance are still required as part of normal DTF printer operation.
Yes.
The printer supports both roll and sheet DTF film.
This allows the operator to choose the film format according to the production job.
The A3L supports EraRIP and AcroRIP 9.03.
Supported file formats include TIFF, JPEG, JPG, PNG, and PDF.
No.
The product positioning is based on equipment cost and configuration rather than the buyer's experience level.
It can be considered by new businesses, existing customization businesses, and distributors when the listed specifications match their requirements.
The listed specifications support regular A3 DTF transfer production.
Whether it fits a specific commercial workload depends on factors such as daily volume, job size, required turnaround time, maintenance practices, and production schedule.
Buyers with substantially higher output requirements should compare other DTF configurations before purchasing.
Price should be one part of the decision, not the only part.
First confirm that the print width, print head, ink system, film support, software, speed, and other listed functions match your intended production.
If they do, the A3L's cost-conscious positioning becomes a meaningful purchasing advantage.
The printer completes the film-printing stage.
A complete DTF workflow also requires the appropriate film, DTF ink, adhesive powder, curing process, heat transfer equipment, consumables, and regular maintenance.
The EraSmart A3L 1390 gives budget-conscious buyers a straightforward purchasing proposition:
1390 Print Head
340mm Print Width
CMYK + White
White Ink Circulation
Automatic Cleaning
Roll & Sheet Film
EraRIP Compatibility
If these are the functions your production requires, the next question is how much equipment configuration you actually need to pay for.
Choose the printer around the work you plan to produce and keep more of your investment available for the complete DTF production setup.
