Why Choose the xTool Apparel Printer Plus?
Print on Any Fabric, Light or Dark
DTF transfers work on cotton, polyester, denim, canvas, spandex, nylon, and blended fabrics - on any garment color. Unlike sublimation, you're not limited to white or light-colored polyester. You get full creative and product flexibility.G7-Certified Color Accuracy Out of the Box
The Apparel Printer Plus ships with a factory-calibrated G7-certified color curve built in. You get consistent, accurate color reproduction across every job without spending hours dialing in settings or recalibrating between runs.Fewer Clogs, Less Downtime
SmartCycle maintenance runs automatically around the clock - cleaning printheads, circulating white ink, moisturizing nozzles, and managing humidity - whether you're printing or not. The result is fewer clog incidents, less wasted ink, and more predictable production.One-Click Print-to-Bake Workflow
The printer automatically cuts film, applies and distributes adhesive powder, and sends sheets to the oven. You design, click print, and heat press. No manual cutting, no powder mess, no guesswork.AI-Powered Calibration and Nozzle Compensation
A built-in 16MP AI camera checks printhead alignment and nozzle condition automatically. If a nozzle is clogged after cleaning, the machine compensates with healthy nozzles mid-print so quality doesn't drop mid-job.Features
Dual Epson I1600 Printheads
Two dedicated printheads work in tandem - one for CMYK color, one for white ink - delivering 720 x 1800 DPI resolution with 3.8 pL minimum ink drop size. You get sharp detail, smooth gradients, and clean edges on every transfer.SmartCycle 24/7 Auto-Maintenance
Built-in humidity sensor activates humidification automatically when levels drop. Auto wet capping, white ink circulation, printhead moisturizing, and cleaning routines run on schedule - all without manual intervention. Remote monitoring via the xTool app lets you check machine status from anywhere.Automated Print-to-Bake Transfer System
After printing, the machine cuts film into individual sheets and transports them via a precision track to the shaker oven. Auto powder distribution ensures even adhesive coverage while ink is still wet, setting up consistent adhesion for heat pressing.xTool Studio Software
Compatible with Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android. Includes built-in RIP processing, AI-powered design tools, auto nesting to minimize film waste, mockup layout, and cost calculation tools. No separate RIP software license required.Wash-Resistant Transfers
When used with xTool-certified film, ink, and TPU powder, transfers stretch up to 300% without cracking and maintain appearance through 50 or more wash cycles. Mid-fine TPU powder creates a soft, breathable hand feel rather than the stiff feel of standard plastisol.Ideal Applications
- Custom T-shirts and hoodies
- Corporate and team uniforms
- Sportswear and performance apparel
- Print-on-demand fulfillment
- Promotional products and tote bags
- Event and school merchandise
- Custom brand apparel
Materials and Consumables
The xTool Apparel Printer Plus is designed to work with xTool-certified DTF consumables, including film rolls, CMYK inks, white ink, TPU powder, moisturizing liquid, and cleaning fluid. Using certified materials is required to maintain G7 color accuracy, maximize printhead lifespan, and qualify for warranty coverage.
Important Note
The OS1 shaker oven's default temperature settings are calibrated for use with the AP2 exhaust purifier connected. Operating the oven without the AP2 may result in incomplete curing and increased TVOC exposure. Always follow xTool's official ventilation and safety guidelines.
