Xiamen Kenteer New Material Science and Technology Co., Ltd. (legally Kenteer (Xiamen) Digital Technology Co., Ltd.) is a Chinese manufacturer and exporter of digital printing and heat transfer materials headquartered in Xiamen, Fujian. The company operates from a 52,000 m² production facility containing 13 coating production lines and 4 dedicated R&D teams, producing DTF and UV DTF printers (KTM-A89, KTM-A02, KTM-A67, KTM-60230 series), belt powder shakers (KTM-B06, KTM-B33/B34, KTM-B20), heat transfer vinyl (Q1-2 PU and seven additional series with puff, silicone, glitter, and holographic finishes), sublimation paper and ink, UV ink and AB film, screen printing consumables, and supporting equipment such as heat presses, cutting plotters, UV flatbed printers, DTG printers, and eco-solvent printers. Stated manufacturing capacity is 2,000,000 meters of DTF film and 200,000 HTV rolls per month.

The company commercializes three core product categories — traditional heat transfer, chemicals, and digital printing — across a distributor-led GTM covering 130+ countries with local sales and service centers, complemented by participation in international trade exhibitions (South Africa Print Expo 2025, Egypt, Germany, Southeast Asia). Revenue is generated through hardware sales (printers and peripherals), consumables (DTF film, inks, TPU powder, HTV, sublimation paper, screen printing materials), and a bundle of five professional services (technology empowerment, team empowerment, after-sales, market operations, exhibition support). Pricing is quote-based for equipment and unit-priced for vinyl rolls (e.g., Q1-2 PU 50cm x 25m rolls, 33 colors), with free samples and 3–5 day delivery for vinyl products.
