Premium Print Head Used on Professional-Grade Printers
SmartCycle™ Maintenance System Guards Your Machine 24/7
With full lifecycle automatic maintenance, your printer stays in optimal condition whenever it is plugged in. Utilizing usage data, internal humidity, and other real-time machine metrics, the system automatically activates maintenance, minimizing print head clogs and ensuring consistent, high-quality printing.
Professional-Grade Calibration in Just a Few Clicks

Genuine Praise from Real Users
You can do a full-color screen printing, but it doesn't look as crisp (as xTool Apparel Printer). Here, the image looks really nice; it pops! I've printed photos of my children on shirts, and it looks really great. It's stretchy, but it doesn't feel too rigid or stiff.
This thing is revolutionizing the T-shirt industry the home printing industry and of course there’s no other DTF Printer like it!
With the amount of last minute orders I get, this upgrade is an absolute Game Changer.
None of other printers have the compact footprint, high quality printheads... for consistent fully automatic like it.
I am thoroughly impressed with the one click print feature when combined with the Shaker oven, as it allowed me to simply hit print and within a few minutes I was able to start pressing them on the t-shirts...
I have to say I am thoroughly impressed with how well this machine performs. From the ease of use, self care maintenance, and professional grade print quality. Crazy to think you can have something like this in your home at this price point...
Most of the printers that are cheaper than this use the less robust xp600 heads, so they are slower. Other options out there are showing an oven but you will still need to manually powder before curing...
Wash test result! 100% cotton gildan shirt. I Washed with hot water 4 Times（right image shown）, I didn’t do inside out. Dried at high temperature, pressed once for 15 seconds with a final 5 second press..

FAQ
The xTool Apparel Printer is based on DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing technology, but we’ve enhanced its features to make it more efficient and beginner-friendly. The printer is fully integrated with a baking system, automating processes like powder application, shaking, and curing that traditional DTF printers require. With just one click, the system processes and bakes your design within 8 minutes. All you need to do is heat-press the printed film onto any fabric.
Additionally, we’ve streamlined the software, so you can manage everything—from design to printing—within one program, eliminating the need for 3–5 separate tools typically required by traditional DTF printers.
Compared to screen printing, the xTool Apparel Printer is better suited for personalized designs. It supports multi-color and complex patterns in a single print, achieving higher clarity and complexity than traditional screen printing. Plus, there’s virtually no need for manual cleaning after printing, thanks to its fully automated maintenance system, which greatly enhances efficiency and convenience.
Unlike sublimation, which only works on light-colored polyester fabrics, the xTool Apparel Printer is compatible with all types and colors of fabrics. It performs especially well on the two most common clothing materials—cotton and polyester—ensuring vibrant and long-lasting designs that withstand multiple washes without fading.
Not at all. The xTool Apparel Printer features fully automated lifecycle maintenance, meaning most of the time it requires no manual intervention. As long as the printer remains plugged in, it continuously monitors internal humidity and temperature to automatically trigger printhead cleaning and white ink circulation, reducing the risk of clogging.
You can also monitor key metrics via our mobile app, which provides real-time updates. If an issue arises that the printer cannot resolve on its own, the app will alert you with specific instructions to address the problem.
Our printers and shaker ovens come with a standard warranty of 12 months for most regions. Due to European legal requirements, the warranty period in Europe is extended to 24 months. As for the print heads, the warranty covers a single print head for a period of one month across all regions.

The film sold by xTool is hot peel (but we prefer to call it warm peel.). Peeling at high temperatures can sometimes mean the adhesive powder is still above 110°C (230°F) and has not fully solidified. However, it does not require cooling to room temperature before peeling, significantly enhancing your workflow efficiency for commercial use.
We do not recommend using third-party ink as there is a risk of clogging the printhead. However, if you are not using our baking machine, third-party printing film can be used, as long as you manually shake the powder and bake it. If you're using the OS1 Shaker Oven Machine, third-party printing film cannot be used.
Yes, you can bring your Kickstarter purchase proof to xTool's official support team, and we will offer you the opportunity to purchase the AP2 for $699 USD.
Yes, the printer is compatible with all types of fabrics. It performs exceptionally well on cotton and polyester, with prints that can withstand 50–100 washes while maintaining their integrity and vibrant colors.
The cost of printing an A3-sized film, including the roll material, ink, and hot melt powder, is about $0.8. Purchasing a plain bulk T-shirt typically costs $3–5. In total, the cost is around $4–6 per shirt. In the U.S., the average selling price of a T-shirt ranges from $20–$40, leaving you with a profit margin of $14–$36 per shirt.
It is recommended to set the temperature to approximately 110°C (which is 230°F).Additionally, it is recommended that you preheat before use, which can be done on the printer's control panel. It is suggested that you preheat for about 20 minutes (although you can still use it without preheating, the curing effect may not reach the optimal state).
We suggest pressing at least twice, which helps to increase the durability and meet the requirements for more wash cycles (with a pressure greater than 0.7mpa). Place the fabric on the machine's heat press surface and preheat for 6 seconds.
The first press should be at 160°C (which is 320°F) for 6 seconds. After pressing, move the fabric to a cooler area to cool for about 10-20 seconds, then peel off the film. We recommend doing this quickly.
For the second press, place the pattern back on the same area and use the same heat press parameters (160°C/6S) to press again; try to place it in the middle area of the heat press machine.
If the pattern area is large, to ensure the quality of the finished product, we recommend a third press. You can place the top and bottom areas in the middle area of the heat press machine and re-press each with the same parameters (160°C/6S).
We do not recommend using IF2 as an exhaust fan for the xTool Apparel Printer. The exhaust fumes from the apparel printers contain glycerin, which can adversely affect the IF2's motor over time and lead to a reduced lifespan.
I ordered the xTool DTF Printer and Oven on Kickstarter. I am so happy with the entire process and now that I have been using the set for a few weeks, I can't say enough good about it. The quality, the software, everything is thought out very well. I did have a few minor issues in the beginning (some user error), but I submitted a ticket and received a response immediately. After a firmware update, everything fell into place and worked perfectly.
Wouldn't it be nice to print an image exactly as it is on your monitor screen? I'm talking about a system so innovative it color corrects automatically. buy the bundle with the AP2 to witness full color and full size prints in 7.minutes. Print to cure - 7 min (varies by design) this machine will calculate time and cost for you every single time.
Maintence 💅🏼 this machine is on automatic cleanings and ink circulation it's got a built in moisturizer system to keep the print heads and ink at optimal conditions- and it's fully enclosed! The design is brilliant and the Epson print heads tell you everything you need to know.
But wait- there is no learning curve for the software! Click and print! I've owned a lot of machines for various methods and I am a proud backer of this machine. My only regret is that I wish I would have bought two!
This was packaged perfectly with step by step instructions and easy setup. It has been working great so far, excited to see all the capabilities of this printer.
I purchased the printer with the shaker oven. Once it was up and running, things have been pretty smooth. I create in a design software and use Xtool Studio to print. The color and image quality is perfect for my apparel prints. The printer itself is pretty fast. I haven't experienced any issues that can't be fixed with a few cleaning cycles. As for the software, there is a feature to calculate the cost per print which comes in handy. Overall it is a solid piece of equipment for my small business.
WE bought this printer to expand our apparel decorating business. After 15+ years of heat transfer vinyl and an overpriced white toner printer, we are happy to have the xTool Apparel Printer in our shop. This little powerhouse is exactly what we needed. It runs perfectly on our Macs. The software is easy to use being that it's the software we already know from the P2S and F1 Ultra in our shop. It produces a stunning DTF print in right around 10 minutes from start to finish. The system, when the printer and oven are combined, is a great self contained combo that is very easy to use and doesn't take up a lot of space like o many large commercial dft printers. But one of the best things about this printer is the automated maintenance. The system pretty much takes care of itself which is a far cry from absolutely every other dft system on the market. We walked away from our printer for 5 or 6 days, came back and did 2 or 3 basic head cleanings, and we were back in business. Total time to clean the heads and do a test print after 5-6 days away was less than 10 minutes. Anyone questioning this is welcome to come to our shop and see it in action for yourself!
