Vega S17

One machine. One operator.

Art file in. Press-ready sheets out. The complete DTF production line — print, cut, powder, cure and stack — in a single footprint.

  • Walking away is a mechanism, not a promise.

    Film travels a short, fully supported path and is cut into sheets rather than pulled on as one long web. There is no unsupported span for tension to act on, so there is nothing to skew — and nothing to watch.

  • Built like office equipment.

    Fully enclosed, 67 dB(A) or less, with three-stage filtration that captures fumes and fine adhesive powder inside the machine. No external ventilation to install, so the building stops being the obstacle.

  • One person runs the line — and is not standing at it.

    Powder is sealed in a cartridge and applied automatically. The cure is preset. Cutting happens inline and finished sheets stack themselves, up to one hundred. Send the file and go run the press.

Features

Inside the Vega S17

The sealed powder cartridge seated in its bay on the Vega S17
Sealed powder cartridge

Your hands never touch powder.

Adhesive powder is metered from a sealed cartridge by a rotating paddle, and the excess is captured inside the machine. Nothing airborne, no tray to shovel. One cartridge runs about one full 100 m roll of film.

Four cure zones

The cure is already dialed in.

An enclosed conveyor bed with four independently controlled heater zones, held at 160 °C by a PID controller. The operator never sets a cure temperature, so there is no setting to get wrong.

Inline cutter and stacker

Sheets that fit the press you own.

An inline shuttle cutter trims each sheet in 0.8 seconds, at any length you choose between 25 and 50 cm. Finished sheets drop cut and squared into the integrated stacker, up to one hundred of them. Lift the stacker out and the run length becomes the roll instead.

Three-stage filtration

Nothing to duct.

A de-mist stage, a medium stage, then HEPA and activated carbon. Fumes and fine adhesive powder are captured inside the machine, so no external ventilation is required.

One touchscreen

It tells you what it needs.

A single tilt touchscreen runs both sections. It tracks what maintenance is due and when it was last done, reports error codes back to support, and takes software updates on its own — so nothing depends on somebody remembering.

One footprint, not a row.

The print section mounts on top of the finishing section. Film feeds up and back down, so the wet ink side stays up while powdering and curing sit underneath the printer rather than beside it. Film goes in and comes out on the same side, so a second unit stands right next to the first.

Runs on

Ink, powder and film, engineered as one system.

The film roll and the powder cartridge are matched to run out at roughly the same time, so an unattended run does not stop halfway for a refill.

Questions buyers actually ask

The honest answers.

Is 39.4 cm of image width enough?

It depends on what you sell. If your product is gang-sheet rolls sold by the metre, width is yield and you want a wider roll-to-roll machine — ask us about the Prestige XL2 or XL4 with a Seismo shaker. If you press what you print, you gang jobs onto every sheet and stop paying for width and floor you never use. A 39.4 × 46.7 cm image is sized to a 40 × 50 cm press.

How fast is it?

We have not published a speed figure, because we have not finished measuring one on production units. We would rather leave it blank than borrow a number. The two sections synchronise automatically, so finishing never caps output below what the printer produces. Ask us for the current position.

Does it need ventilation?

No external ventilation is required. Curing is enclosed and three-stage filtration, ending in HEPA and activated carbon, captures fumes and fine adhesive powder inside the machine.

What power does it need?

The two sections have separate power connections and should not share one standard circuit. Confirm the circuit requirements with us before installation.

What happens if it sits unused?

The machine is designed to stay powered so it can look after itself. White ink circulates hourly, channels clean on a schedule, and after six hours idle the heads are sealed into a cap station filled with cleaning solution. For two weeks or more powered off, flush the ink and charge the system with storage fluid first.

How does it compare to buying a printer and a shaker separately?

You would be buying components and assembling the line yourself: the shaker, the oven, the cutter, the extraction, the floor for all of it, and the person standing over it. Both are legitimate and we sell both. The question worth answering is how many labour minutes each costs you per finished transfer.
