I dream for this day. The prices on UV printers are even more outrageous than DTF printers. We need a disrupter and hopefully this is one of the other 6 products Xtool wants to realize this year.
Once i heard that the print heads are Epson they have my attention. Only concern is the ink cost. I may consider it after i recover from my next purchase, the Omni1
Yes, DTF ink can be a bit pricey, but it isn’t in xTool’s best interest to gouge everyone on the price. Like the PET film, if they mess up the pricing, someone else is going to start under-cutting them on price
Have you done a total cost of ownership and compared it to using a economical dedicated t-shirt printing company? I'd imagine it's possible that it's never cheaper?
Not yet because no one has gotten their hands on one of these yet. However in the FAQ on xTools site they provide some math related to the payback period for this printer. Clearly that will be biased in xTool’s favor but it’s a start. I suspect that the addition of related costs like shipping would probably lean to the benefit of owning your own printer rather than outsourcing it, but commercial shirt companies work in much larger volumes that may offset this.
$4,000 dollars isn't cost prohibitive?!? Ok, yeah, I did just drop that on my new Omni 1 UV laser, but there are a lot of other options coming out, Procolored for one, that are much cheaper.
I looked at the new Procolored. It’s appealing for the price, but isn’t a one step system and is only 8 or 13”. It is/was on my short list for purchase though.
As always when spending $4000, I’m a bit of a skeptic so I’d like to get my hands on one to see if it’s really worth the cost. xTool does have a great reputation for build with great quality and has a history of disrupting markets, so I’m hopeful.
What if they make a UV printer so we can print directly on acrylic signs 🙏🙏

But the $3999, does not include the oven! I didn't see the oven cost did you?
Correct, there are still a few unknowns, but I’m digging to find answers and I’ll let everyone know if/when I get details.
