The new xTool Apparel Printer is also entering the DTF (direct-to-film) printing market. A machine that becomes a benchmark in the innovation of this textile customisation technique.

We gather all the information so you can understand its potential and assess whether this printer measures up to other established options or even exceeds expectations.

Key Features of the xTool Apparel Printer

Print Precision: Equipped with dual Epson I1600 heads, it offers a resolution of up to 720 x 1800 dpi, ideal for achieving sharp and detailed images in every design.

Colour Quality: The ultra-fine 3.8 pL ink droplet technology enables vibrant colours and even coverage, even on dark fabrics.

Optimised Speed: With a printing capacity of up to 4.6 m² per hour, it is highly recommended for medium to high-volume productions.

Innovation in Curing: The OS1 system automates the curing process, delivering films ready for stamping and optimising the workflow, especially in confined spaces.

Ease of Use and Maintenance

The xTool Apparel Printer features an advanced maintenance system designed to optimise performance and reduce manual intervention:

• Automatic Calibration: A 16 MP AI camera performs automatic calibrations to ensure precise printing.
• Automated Maintenance: Features such as automatic head cleaning and a white ink circulation system are designed to minimise clogs and maintain a consistent workflow. You will only need to keep the machine plugged in.

Even so, it is important to use basic maintenance products to extend the equipment's lifespan. The moisturising liquid helps to keep the printhead in good condition when not in use, and the cleaning liquid is ideal for removing ink residues if you are going to move the printer or leave it unused for an extended period. With these minimal care measures, you will avoid blockages and maintain optimal performance.

We have already tested it

Intuitive software

The xTool Creative Space software aims to simplify print management with integrated tools that automate key tasks. Its features include:

• AI-Powered Design Generator: Simplifies the creation and adaptation of designs.
• Integrated RIP and automatic nesting: Optimises the layout of designs to maximise material usage.
• Machine Control: Allows comprehensive management of the printing process from a single platform.

Price and Key Considerations

The xTool Apparel Printer is priced at €6,218.19 (VAT included) to which you need to add:

• xTool OS1 Oven: You can purchase it later as you can use another oven for curing, but this finisher could be very interesting if you have production needs. Its price is €3,447.29 (VAT included).
• DTF xTool Inks: Available in 500 ml bottles for approximately €40.
• DTF Powder xTool: A one-kilogram bag of white polyurethane DTF powder is €44.77 (VAT included).

One aspect to consider is the type of film compatible with the printer. If you are only using the printer, you can use any film you like, but if you wish to use its oven, you will need the DTF xTool Film. It has a specific design with notches at its ends that allow for automated printing and curing. In this case, the film is instant peel, meaning it is removed while hot, 5-10 seconds after pressing, optimising production time.
