DEVFTO Printmaking Institute uses the name 'institute' to distinguish its institution and activities amidst the presence of other printmaking studios that are beginning to flourish in Indonesia. The establishment of DEVTO is to educate artists, the art public and collectors in the field of fine arts in Indonesia, whom, on average, are still quite far from the development of the graphic arts genre itself. DEVFTO Institute is dedicated to increasing resources that can encourage the development of graphic art practitioners. The institute's efforts to share knowledge are carried out through regular in-studio workshops, graphic art exhibitions, websites and social media. Apart from that, DEVFTO also opens the door for collaboration with artists and various groups to realize commission projects, research on paper materials, development of printing devices, publishing to artist residency programs.

Devy's career in the graphic arts environment itself has been going on for a long time. As an artist and facilitator, his debut began with the establishment of Studio Red Point in Bandung, 1993. This studio was the only one of its kind at the time, following the decline of Decenta which was founded in 1973. In 2020, Devy joined Black Hand Gang printing studio in Ubud, Bali, before deciding to initiate the establishment of the DEVFTO Printmaking Institute independently until now. His work and dedication in the graphic arts for no less than 30 years has gained recognition from the contemporary art community in Indonesia, resulting in his acknowledgement as the only master printmaker in this country.
