Press release from the issuing company:
Mutoh Europe nv, EMEA business unit of Mutoh Industries Co. Ltd., Japan, has added the STS XPD-924D 24” Direct-to-Film (DTF) Printer, a high-performance solution engineered to address the growing demand for reliable, high-quality textile customization.
Designed for high-throughput production environments, the XPD-924D combines speed, precision, and consistency to deliver high and repeatable transfer quality across a wide range of applications. Equipped with staggered dual AccuFine HD printheads, the printer ensures smooth gradations, fine details, and enhanced productivity, making it ideal for businesses looking to scale their DTF operations.
A key feature of the XPD-924D is its built-in white ink circulation system, which operates automatically at defined intervals to maintain stable ink flow. This feature helps reduce maintenance requirements while supporting consistent output quality.
The printer comes bundled with Digital Factory RIP 12 software, providing a balanced combination of productivity and image quality. With pre-installed, high-quality colour profiles tailored to Mutoh inks and films, users can achieve a fast and reliable start of production with minimal setup time.
Versatile Applications Across Industries
The XPD-924D supports printing on a wide range of materials, including cotton, polyester, silk, denim, fleece, leather (*), and blended fabrics. It is the perfect solution for producing custom apparel, such as T-shirts, hoodies, jackets, sportswear, uniforms, and workwear.
Beyond garments, the printer also supports applications such as bags, hats, and home décor items, opening new business opportunities for print service providers.
(*) Applications on synthetic leather and/or natural leather may require an adapted TPU (Thermoplastic PolyUrethane) hot-melt adhesive powder.
Engineered for Performance and Efficiency
Built with a heavy-duty aluminium rail system, the XPD-924D ensures stable and precise printing across operating speeds. Additional features such as an incorporated front dryer, automatic alignment sensors, internal LED lighting,and anupdated media feeding mechanism contribute to stable operation and user-friendly handling.
The included Mutoh Status Monitor (MSM) further enhances productivity by enabling print history tracking, job cost analysis, and remote monitoring capabilities.
With a production speed of up to 11.4 m²/h (Dual layer CMYK+White overlay) and a maximum resolution of 1200 x 1200 dpi, the XPD-924Ddelivers high productivity alongside consistent print quality. Its robust construction and efficient ink system make it a cost-effective solution for businesses aiming to maximise output while minimising operational costs.
Reliable Performance in Production from Mutoh
The XPD-924D is designed for high-volume production environments. Prints maintain flexibility, allowing them to stretch and with good resistance to cracking, fading, and peeling. With no pre-treatment required, users can benefit from a streamlined workflow from printing to transfer application—supporting faster production turnaround times.
Optional Powder Shaker
The optional STS Inks Automatic S-20 TPU Adhesive Powder Shaker is designed for high-volume production environments. It handles the entire powder process: application, distribution, melting and recycling; in a continuous, automated process. This supports a controlled process, improved workflow efficiency and reduced material waste.
The integrated automatic powder recycling system recovers excess TPU material and feeds it back into the process, minimising material waste. Combined with the vacuum conveyor platformthat keeps the film stable throughout production, the powder shaker supports consistent results throughout production runs from the first transfer to the last.
