xTool Announces Innovative Apparel Printer, Raising Over $1 Million on Kickstarter in Under Two Hours

xTool Unveils a Game-Changing Apparel Printer

In an exciting announcement, xTool, a prominent name in the DIY laser engraving industry, has recently launched its Apparel Printer on Kickstarter. The campaign has garnered huge success, reaching its initial funding goal of $1 million in a mere 1.5 hours. As of now, they have raised approximately $4 million with contributions from more than 689 backers, marking the brand's bold entry into the Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing market.

Rethinking Apparel Printing

The conception of the xTool Apparel Printer addresses major pain points identified through extensive market research, including complex setups, limited capabilities for different fabrics, and high maintenance demands associated with traditional DTF printers. The founder and CEO, Jasen Wang, expressed that while users love the idea of apparel printing, they often find existing options frustrating and cumbersome.

Wang stated, "With the xTool Apparel Printer, we intend to simplify the process so that anyone can create custom apparel as easily as printing a document from home." This innovative device offers a one-click operation and is capable of printing on a diverse range of materials including cotton, leather, polyester, and spandex, delivering impressive results for both dark and light fabrics.

Moreover, the built-in full-lifecycle auto-maintenance feature eliminates the frequent nozzle cleanings traditionally required, making it easier for users to maintain the device.

Cutting-Edge Technology for Exceptional Quality

Equipped with top-notch technology, the new printer provides extraordinary color accuracy. It features the Epson I1600 Dual Head, an advanced component typically found in high-end DTF printers priced at over $10,000. Howie Zhu, the Product Director at xTool, highlighted that, in conjunction with a 16MP AI Smart Camera designed for automatic calibration, the system guarantees precision from the first print to the last.

Another essential aspect of this launch is xTool’s Creative Space software, which complements the printer by offering a comprehensive platform for design optimization and image enhancement. This ensures that users can maximize print quality while minimizing material waste, thereby making professional garment customization accessible for businesses and DIY enthusiasts alike.

Global Launch and Availability

After successfully customizing over 80 million projects for more than 500,000 users, xTool is now venturing into the apparel customization realm. The Apparel Printer makes its global debut at the upcoming Retail Technology Show in London on April 2, where attendees will have the opportunity to test the product firsthand at Booth Q58. Following this, the device will officially launch worldwide for purchase on xTool.com starting April 11.
