xTool Apparel Printer
Professional DTF system for printing on clothing and textiles
The xTool Apparel Printer is an integrated solution for the production of DTF (Direct-to-Film) transfers for the personalization of garments and textiles. The system automates the main steps of the DTF process — printing, powder application and curing — reducing operational complexity compared to traditional multi-machine setups.
It is designed for small labs, micro-production, and on-demand customization tasks that require a streamlined, repeatable workflow.
Why choose xTool Apparel Printer
Integrated DTF workflow
The machine integrates the fundamental phases of DTF production in a single system:
- printing on PET film
- Automatic application of iron-on powder
- Transfer drying/curing phase
This allows you to reduce the number of equipment required and standardize the production process.
Full color printing
The system uses CMYK inks with white support for printing on dark or coloured media. The technology enables the reproduction of complex graphics, logos and photographic images on fabric.
Compatibility with different textile materials
The transfers produced can be applied to a wide range of materials:
- Cotton
- Polyester
- denim
- nylon
- canvas
- Mixed fabrics
This makes it suitable for heterogeneous productions, from merchandising to customized clothing.
Reduce operational complexity
Compared to a traditional DTF system (separate printer + shaker + oven), the integrated solution:
- Reduces the number of manual steps
- Simplify process management
- Makes transfer quality more predictable
Applications
The xTool Apparel Printer is suitable for:
- clothing customization (t-shirts, sweatshirts, uniforms)

FAQ
Is it a direct textile printer (DTG)?
No. Produces DTF transfers to be applied later with a heat press.
On which materials can the print be applied?
On most common fabrics, including cotton, polyester, and synthetic mixes.
Is it suitable for industrial production?
It is more suitable for micro-production and on-demand business rather than for high-volume industrial lines.
