XTool is diving into the direct-to-film (DTF) space with its latest XTool Apparel Printer, and this new all-in-one unit looks to be a game-changer for fashion brands and businesses. It offers an automated process that works in just a few clicks. The machine has now officially launched on Kickstarter, at an early bird price of $3,999, but you'll need to pay a refundable $50 deposit before April 6, 2025, to secure one.
You might already be familiar with XTool as makers of some of the best laser cutters and engravers. But this is a new market for them, and with this printer, they're definitely entering Cricut territory. Some of the best Cricut machines like the EasyPress range are popular for heat printing on garments, and even Cricut alternative machines are great for small businesses printing hats and bags too, so it's interesting to be getting another big brand in the space.
