xTool (operated by Makeblock Japan Inc.), a world-leading brand in laser processing machines, has launched a VIP pre-order campaign for its highly successful DTF printer, the 'xTool Apparel Printer,' which boasts cumulative support of approximately 900 million yen in Japan and the US, starting today, Thursday, April 2, 2026, on its official website. This campaign precedes the CAMPFIRE project scheduled for release on Friday, May 1, and secures the maximum discount slot for a reservation deposit of 2,000 yen (※fully refundable). ■ Why a Laser Processing Machine Brand for a DTF Printer? xTool has revolutionized complex laser processing into a 'smart experience that anyone can use easily.' This product is the result of applying its advanced hardware control technology and know-how in intuitive software (xTool Studio) to the field of apparel printing. It overturns the conventional wisdom of large and labor-intensive DTF printing, seamlessly integrating printing to drying. It achieves 'space-saving design' and 'one-click full automation' that are easy to introduce into Japanese workspaces. ■ Limited-time 'VIP Reservation Member' System | Triple Benefits Guaranteed with a 2,000 Yen Reservation Deposit In advance of the full launch, we have prepared a system that allows you to register as a 'VIP Reservation Member' by paying a small reservation deposit of 2,000 yen (※fully refundable).

When combined with the OS1 Automatic Shaker Oven machine, it completes everything from 'printing' to 'heating and drying' with a single click. It features built-in automatic film cutting, automatic powder dispensing, and an innovative double-sided baking system, allowing designs to be processed and printed in just 8 minutes without manual intervention. It is so easy to operate that 'zero learning' is required. Ultimate Color Expression with Industry-Leading Dual Print Heads and G7 Certification Equipped with Epson I1600 dual print heads. One outputs vibrant colors, while the other applies white ink, ensuring perfect color reproduction even on dark fabrics. The high-density nozzle array and ultra-fine ink droplets of 3.8 pL allow for sharp printing down to the finest details. Furthermore, it achieves G7 certified color curve calibration over two years, accurately reproducing colors on the screen without frequent manual adjustments. Eliminate Clogs with SmartCycle™ 24-Hour Fully Automatic Maintenance To address the most troublesome issues of maintenance and clogging in traditional printers, we have introduced a fully automatic lifecycle maintenance system. As long as the power is connected, it constantly monitors internal humidity and temperature, automatically performing white ink circulation/agitation, auto print head humidification, and pressurized cleaning within a sealed chamber. This significantly reduces maintenance effort and downtime, allowing you to focus 100% on business growth. Break Material Restrictions and Support Almost All Fabrics Unlike sublimation transfer, which is limited to light-colored polyester, it supports all types and colors of fabrics, including cotton, polyester, denim, spandex, and canvas. It can print on T-shirts, hoodies, tote bags, hats, shoes, and more. It withstands harsh washing and high-temperature drying 50-100 times, providing quality that resists fading and peeling. Easy Operation with 'Zero Learning' thanks to AI Vision The 16MP AI camera performs automatic print head calibration and nozzle clog checks/corrections. Additionally, the dedicated software 'xTool Studio' manages everything from image conversion to cost calculation, eliminating the need for multiple traditional tools. ■ Recommended For ・Those who want to start an original apparel brand with a space-saving setup
