Description
DTFLINE HYBRID-X2 - Professional Hybrid DTG + DTF Printing System
A commercial Ricoh-based garment printing platform designed for shops that want the flexibility of direct-to-garment printing and direct-to-film production in one powerful system.
Built for Modern Garment Production
The DTFLINE HYBRID-X2 is engineered for apparel decorators, print shops, fulfillment businesses, and growing brands that need professional DTG print quality with the added flexibility of DTF transfer production.
Unlike low-cost converted desktop printers, the HYBRID-X2 is a purpose-built industrial garment printing system featuring Ricoh piezo-electric drop-on-demand printhead technology, a closed-loop ink delivery system, automatic white ink circulation, automated maintenance functions, wireless connectivity, and a large touchscreen control interface.
Less Babysitting. More Printing.
Traditional DTF and DTG systems often require constant attention, frequent nozzle checks, white ink management, manual cleaning, and daily operator intervention. The DTFLINE HYBRID-X2 is designed to reduce that burden with an advanced auto maintenance workflow, automatic white ink circulation, automated printhead cleaning, precise ink monitoring, and power purge functionality.
For busy shops, this means a more production-ready printer, reduced downtime, less manual maintenance, and a workflow that is easier to manage than many traditional DTF printers and converted desktop systems.
Key Features
- Easy Switch from DTG to DTF - Move between direct-to-garment and direct-to-film applications with a simple workflow change in the RIP software, helping you expand production without needing two separate printer platforms.
- Advanced Auto Maintenance System - Automatic white ink circulation, automated printhead cleaning, precise ink monitoring, closed-loop ink delivery, and power purge functions help keep the printer production-ready with less manual intervention and reduced daily babysitting.
- Onboard WiFi Connectivity - Streamline your print environment with WiFi connectivity, Ethernet support, and USB drive support for flexible file transfer and production setup options.
- Large 7-Inch Touch Panel - A redesigned user interface, upgraded processing power, and increased internal memory help create a more intuitive and efficient operator experience.
- Ricoh Printhead Technology - Built around Ricoh piezo-electric drop-on-demand inkjet technology with 4 Ricoh printheads, delivering professional detail, smooth gradients, and reliable production performance.
- Eco-Conscious Ink System - Uses DTG water-based pigmented ink technology, with Oeko-Tex® certified ink options for apparel applications intended for adults and children.
