OMTech Unveils the Aurora 14-Inch DTF Printer for Fast Apparel Printing
OMTech Launches the Aurora: Revolutionizing Apparel Printing
In the realm of apparel printing, speed and efficiency are crucial, especially for makers and small businesses striving to bring their creative ideas to life. OMTech, a leader in advanced machine technology, is making waves with its latest release—the Aurora, a 14-inch direct-to-film (DTF) printer—now available for pre-order on Kickstarter.
A Game Changer in DTF Printing
Designed to overcome the common limitations found in traditional printers, the Aurora offers a profound solution for apparel creators who often struggle with inconsistent color, slow production times, and cumbersome setups. The Aurora's true 14-inch print width allows users to optimize their film usage, significantly reducing waste and increasing efficiency. Whether you're working with designs for T-shirts up to 5XL or intricate artwork, this printer accommodates a variety of needs without sacrificing quality.

With the Aurora, we focused on true usable width, production-speed output, and maintenance and workflow automation that keeps production effortless."
High-Performance Features
The Aurora printer is built around dual Epson I1600 industrial print heads, which drive the machine's high throughput, reaching up to 50 square feet per hour while maintaining a resolution of 720 × 1800 DPI.

Moreover, with G7 Targeted certification, the Aurora ensures that each print offers consistent and accurate color, elevating the quality standard for small batch productions.
To further enhance reliability and performance, the Aurora includes automatic maintenance features such as timed cleaning cycles and white ink circulation. This proactive approach to maintenance reduces clogs, maximizes uptime, and allows for seamless production without mid-run interruptions.
