The xTool Apparel DTF Printer offers a professional entry into Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing, combining outstanding print quality, intuitive operation, and powerful software. As a standalone version, the system focuses exclusively on the printing process, making it ideal for users who already own a DTF powder shaker and curing unit or prefer to build a customized production workflow.
Brilliant Print Quality for Professional Results
Equipped with two Epson I1600 printheads, the xTool Apparel DTF Printer delivers print resolutions of up to 720 × 1,800 dpi. The combination of CMYK and white ink produces vibrant colors, fine details, and highly opaque prints on both light and dark textiles.
With a 14 in. (A3+) print width and a maximum print area of 14 × 18.1 in., you can create transfers for T-shirts, hoodies, tote bags, workwear, and many other textile products.
Compatible with Virtually All Fabrics
DTF printing allows you to produce high-quality transfer films for a wide range of materials. Whether you're working with cotton, polyester, blended fabrics, denim, canvas, or nylon, the finished transfers can be permanently applied to textiles using a heat press after powder application and curing.
Free xTool Studio Software
The free xTool Studio software lets you manage your entire printing workflow in a single application. In addition to creating your artwork, it includes features such as RIP processing, auto-nesting, color management, and printer control. The software is available for both Windows and macOS and also includes AI-powered image enhancement tools.
Automatic Maintenance Functions
To ensure consistently high print quality, the Apparel DTF Printer includes a range of automatic maintenance features, including automatic printhead cleaning, the White Ink Management System (WIMS) for continuous white ink circulation, and camera-assisted calibration. These features reduce maintenance requirements while improving operational reliability.
Flexible Integration into Your DTF Workflow
The standalone version is ideal for businesses that already own a DTF shaker or curing unit or want to customize their production setup. The xTool Apparel Printer can be seamlessly integrated into existing DTF workflows.

The Makeblock success story began in 2012 when Jasen Wang, the founder and CEO, had a groundbreaking idea. As a passionate maker, Jasen realised how difficult it can be to turn a creative idea into reality. This drive gave rise to his first project: Makeblock.
Makeblock specialises in promoting STEAM education. The company helps young students develop their creativity by developing educational infrastructure - including robotics modules, coding software and laser cutters. The aim is to give pupils the tools to learn technical knowledge and creative skills through play.
At the end of 2020, Makeblock expanded its portfolio and entered the field of laser machines. With the xTool project, the product range was expanded so that not only students but also adults can benefit from the solutions. Creativity is not just about developing programming robots - it is also about personalising everyday objects, such as engraving names on mugs or creating works of art from wood.
With the launch of the first product, the xTool D1 in 2021, Jasen started a new chapter in his vision. While the Makeblock success story continues, xTool marks the start of an exciting new episode.
