Obziy DP1 Series
vs. The Competition

Why professional creators are switching from noisy, wasteful legacy systems to the 3600 DPI Precision Standard.

The Cycle of Broken Promises

Tried other "pro" DTF brands and still struggling with these hidden costs?

❌ The "Clog-Prone" Cycle

Manual white ink mixing that still leads to costly $1,000 printhead replacements after even a brief period of inactivity.

❌ The Space & Noise Trap

Industrial noise levels that make home studio operation impossible, forcing you into expensive and unnecessary commercial leases.

❌ The "Material-Hungry" Design

Complex loading paths that waste 100cm of material every time you load, eroding your profit margins inch by inch.

❌ Software Dongle Hell

A single lost USB dongle can paralyze your entire business. A fragmented workflow with multiple apps that lack native integration.

Why a Single i3200 is Our Choice for Precision

Engineering the perfect balance between industrial output and exacting accuracy.

Technical Architecture: 1x i3200 vs. 2x i1600

Obziy DP1 (Single i3200)
• Total Nozzles: 3200
• Channels: 8-Channel (400 nozzles per channel)
• Configuration: CMYK + WWWW
Dual-Head Setup (2x i1600)
• Total Nozzles: 1600 x 2 = 3200
• Channels: 4-Channel x 2 (400 nozzles per channel)
• Configuration: Head 1 (CMYK) + Head 2 (WWWW)

"DTF is not a photograph; it is an art form born from the seamless combination of CMYK and White ink."

1. Native Precision

With a native density of 3,200 nozzles, the i3200 captures microscopic details in a single pass, ensuring sharp edges and vibrant gradients without digital interpolation.

2. Single-Source Consistency

Because all colors and white ink eject from a single physical source, the system naturally avoids the "ghosting" or registration errors caused by micron-level physical misalignment between dual heads.

3. Simplified Maintenance

By consolidating the nozzle arrays, the potential points of clogging are reduced by 50%. This drastically lowers the learning curve and daily maintenance burden for new users.

4. Lower Maintenance Costs

Consumables like cleaning and moisturizing fluids are applied to only one head. Even in extreme scenarios requiring a replacement, the hardware cost is limited to a single unit.

The $3,000 Efficiency Gap

When you buy "Other Brands," you pay for marketing. When you buy Obziy, you buy time. Because our I3200 head and roll-feed system are so much faster, an Obziy user can finish a 100-shirt order in the time it takes an "Other" user to load their 10th sheet.

Hard Questions. Honest Answers.

Everything you need to know before scaling your production.

Q1: Does ZRIP software work on Mac and Windows? +
Currently, the DP1 Series software (ZRIP) is optimized for Windows (10/11) to ensure the highest industrial-grade stability. However, native macOS support is a top priority on our development roadmap. Many Mac users currently run our software seamlessly via virtual machines (like Parallels) or Boot Camp. We are working hard to bring a native Mac experience to you soon!
Q2: Can I use Obziy if I'm a complete beginner? +
Yes. We’ve automated the hard stuff—white ink circulation, moisturizing, and cleaning—without hiding it behind a locked "App." You get professional results with a beginner's learning curve.
Q3: What kind of support do you provide for beginners? +
We provide a robust support framework. Beyond our comprehensive 24/7 User Guide, we offer direct technical assistance and remote support for complex needs via our official Support Page.
Q4: Is the Epson I3200HD head worth the upgrade over an XP600? +
Absolutely. The I3200HD offers a true 3600 DPI resolution and significantly higher firing frequency, delivering industrial-grade longevity and far superior fine-line detail.
Q5: Isn't a "Dual Head" printer faster than Obziy's single head? +
Not necessarily. A single I3200-A1 has 3,200 nozzles and fires at much higher frequencies than the consumer heads found in dual-head setups, without the risk of registration misalignment between two heads.
Q6: Why does "Other Brand" resolution look grainy? +
Graininess comes from low DPI or poor ink management. Most desktop brands max out at 1440 DPI, while Obziy’s 3600 DPI allows for microscopic ink drop placement for photographic gradients.
Q7: How do you handle white ink clogging during humidity changes? +
The DP1 series features automated white ink circulation and timed stirring. This keeps pigment in suspension, reducing head clogs by 30% compared to converted consumer printers.
Q8: What is the "real-world" maintenance time required? +
Daily maintenance takes less than 5 minutes. The magnetic dual-door design gives you instant access to the capping station, making upkeep clean and fast.
Q9: Can this machine handle 100-meter film rolls? +
Yes, the DP1 series supports continuous roll feeding with a built-in tension system, perfect for high-volume production runs without tracking issues.
Q10: Does it come with ICC profiles? +
Yes, ZRIP includes pre-loaded ICC profiles specifically calibrated for Obziy ink and film sets to ensure screen-to-print color accuracy.
Q11: How do the Heat Press Presets work with my DP1? +
Obziy products are a unified ecosystem. The Auto Heat Press features native DTF/DTG modes pre-calibrated for DP1 film profiles, eliminating trial and error.
Q12: What is the cost per square meter for ink and film? +
The DP1 is optimized for efficiency. With a 40cm short film path and precision ink delivery, production costs are roughly 40-50% lower than buying pre-printed transfers.
Q13: Is it loud enough to require a separate shop? +
No. We’ve used silent stepper motors and a damped chassis. It runs at <30dB, making it perfectly suitable for a spare bedroom or home office.
Q14: What happens if I outgrow my current DP1? +
Obziy is modular. You can start with the DP1 printer and seamlessly add an automated shaker or advanced heater as your order volume increases.
Q15: Why is Obziy so much more affordable during the launch? +
By focusing our budget on industrial hardware rather than traditional retail marketing, we are able to offer early supporters a 50%+ discount to prove our technology's superiority.
