Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the MicroTec APEX Series?

The APEX Series is MicroTec's line of automated heat press and production equipment for high-volume shops. It includes multi-station rotary heat presses, a 15-station automatic mug press, roll-to-roll DTF heat presses, and add-on machines that automate film feeding, film peeling, garment unloading and DTF film cutting.

Who is the APEX Series designed for?

APEX equipment is built for print shops, apparel decorators and promotional product businesses that run large orders every day. If you are pressing hundreds of items a day and want more output with less manual labor, automation like the APEX Series can help you scale without adding more operators.

What is the difference between the APEX X4, X6 and X8?

All three are fully automatic rotary heat presses with 16" x 20" stations. The number tells you how many stations each carousel has: 4, 6 or 8. More stations let your operator keep loading while other items are pressing, which increases output per hour. The X6 also includes a preheat station. Check each product page for full specifications.

How does a rotary (carousel) heat press work?

A rotary heat press moves items around a carousel through loading, pressing and unloading positions. Instead of waiting for a single press to open and close, your operator keeps loading the next item while others are being pressed. This creates a continuous workflow that is much faster than a standard clamshell or swing-away press.

Can APEX equipment be used for DTF transfers?

Yes. The APEX Max Roll-to-Roll presses apply DTF transfers directly from a roll, and the X-Feed, X-Peel, X-Peel Pro and X-Pull automate feeding, peeling and unloading in a DTF workflow. The XC-25 and XC-37 cutters cut printed DTF film into individual transfers. Check each product page to confirm which applications it supports.

What is the APEX M15 mug press?

The APEX M15 is a 15-station fully automatic mug heat press built for high-volume mug sublimation. It is ideal for shops producing large runs of custom mugs. Pair it with the APEX XM-Tape automatic mug wrap machine to speed up mug preparation before pressing.

What do the X-Feed, X-Peel, X-Peel Pro and X-Pull do?

These are automation add-ons for your production line. The X-Feed automatically feeds DTF film, the X-Peel automatically peels film after pressing, the X-Pull automatically unloads garments, and the X-Peel Pro combines film peeling and garment unloading in one machine. Together they reduce manual handling and keep your line moving.

What is the difference between the XC-25 and XC-37 film cutters?

Both are fully automatic DTF film cutters that cut printed film into individual transfers, saving hours of manual trimming. They differ in size and capacity, so the right choice depends on your film width and daily volume. See each product page for detailed specifications, or contact our team for help choosing.

How do I choose the right APEX setup for my shop?

APEX machines are commercial production equipment, so space and power requirements vary by model. Contact the Joto Imaging Supplies team and tell us about your daily volume, the products you decorate and the space you have available. We will help you put together the right combination of APEX presses and automation, confirm your setup is ready, and prepare a quote.

Does APEX equipment come with a warranty?

Yes. All MicroTec APEX equipment comes with a 2-year warranty. If you have questions about what is covered or how warranty service works, contact the Joto team and we will walk you through it.
