xTool Unveils the Next-Gen Apparel Printer
In a groundbreaking announcement, xTool, a leader in the laser engraving domain, has launched its innovative Apparel Printer on Kickstarter. The campaign garnered an astounding one million dollars within just an hour and a half, highlighting a robust interest in this cutting-edge technology. As of now, the xTool Apparel Printer has successfully attracted approximately four million dollars from over 689 backers, marking a significant entry into the Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing market.
Addressing Key Challenges in Textile Printing
Research has revealed three primary challenges associated with traditional Direct-to-Film printing: complex setup, compatibility with various fabrics, and the need for substantial maintenance. Jasen Wang, the founder and CEO of xTool, noted, "Our users love textile printing, but they are not satisfied with existing options." The new xTool Apparel Printer aims to resolve these issues, providing an easy solution that allows anyone to create custom clothing effortlessly, similar to printing documents at home.
This innovative printer functions seamlessly with cotton, leather, polyester, and elastane, delivering high-quality results on both dark and light fabrics. Its automatic maintenance throughout the product lifecycle eliminates the tedious cleaning of nozzles, a common requirement for traditional printers.
Cutting-Edge Technology for Precision Printing
To ensure exceptional color fidelity, the xTool Apparel Printer features a top-notch industrial-grade print head. Howie Zhu, the product director at xTool, explained, "The printer is equipped with a dual Epson I1600 print head, typically found in high-end DTF printers costing over $10,000." Additionally, it is complemented by a 16 MP AI camera for automatic calibration, guaranteeing precision from the very first print.
Enhancing the printing experience further, the xTool Creative Space software offers a design optimization platform, image refinement tools, and tracing finesse. This software not only elevates print quality but also minimizes material waste, making professional-grade clothing customization accessible to businesses, fashion professionals, and DIY enthusiasts alike.
Global Debut and Availability
With over 500,000 users having personalized more than 80 million creative projects, xTool is now expanding its capabilities to include clothing customization, enabling individuals and businesses to easily create high-quality garments. The xTool Apparel Printer is set to make its global debut at the Retail Technology Show in London on April 2nd, at booth Q58, where attendees will have the chance to engage in a hands-on experience.
The official launch is scheduled for April 11th, and it will be available for purchase worldwide at xTool.com. This launch represents a pivotal moment for xTool as it continues to innovate and simplify the creation process for its users.
