Description
xTool just launched the Apparel Printer Plus, and if you set it next to the original you would not be able to tell them apart. There's a reason for that, and it's not the reason most people are going to give you today 😍 🛒 Shop the xTool Apparel Printer: https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=86799&awinaffid=2029521&clickref=xtool+DTF+printer+collection&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.swingdesign.com%2Fcollections%2Fxtool-dtf-apparel-printer-bundles-accessories%3Futm_term%3D69853
I've been running the original xTool Apparel Printer in my office as my daily DTF printer, so when a new model drops I go straight to the one question that actually matters: What changed, and does it change anything for the people who already bought one?!
Three things here are actually new. And there's good news if your machine is already sitting in your shop. ✨ MORE INFO AND IMPORTANT LINKS
If you already own an xTool Apparel Printer, do not skip this one.
⚠️ TWO THINGS WORTH ADDING
1. I've seen this asked a few different ways, so here's what the documentation actually says. On both the Plus and the upgrade kit, you power the humidity module on yourself with a button. Once it's on, a sensor cycles humidification to hold the target range inside the printer.
The turning it off part is not a retrofit limitation. xTool's own Apparel Printer Plus quick start guide, page 5, says to turn the module on when ambient room humidity is below 50 percent, and that above 70 percent it is "strongly recommended to turn off the module." That's their guidance for the factory installed module.
It makes sense when you think about it. A humidifier can only add moisture, it can't remove it. So if your room is already humid, there's nothing useful for it to do. The sensor is watching humidity inside the printer. The on and off guidance is about the room.
What is still not clear is whether that automatic cycling performs the same on a retrofitted original, which has one humidity sensor, as it does on the Plus, which has two. I don't have an answer on that yet. If that's why you want the kit, ask before you order.
2. If you just took delivery and there is an unopened printer sitting on a pallet in your garage, and you are wondering whether to send it back and reorder the Plus - run the whole number before you do anything. Return shipping on a palletized printer, a possible restocking fee, back of the line on a reorder, and no printer in the meantime. All to chase a humidity module and a damper that xTool is offering existing owners as an upgrade kit
