Intelligence in Every Print

A Smarter Way to Manage DTF Production.

DTF Apex Multi-Head Auto Alignment

AI Vision Auto Calibration & Multi-Head Alignment

AI vision analyzes printed test patterns, identifies X/Y alignment deviations, and automatically applies correction values—simplifying setup, printhead replacement, and multi-head calibration.

DTF-Apex-AI-Nozzle-Jetting-Monitoring-v

AI Nozzle & Jetting Health Monitoring

The system detects missing nozzles, ink blockage, deflected jets, and unstable jetting before they develop into costly print defects, helping maintain cleaner and more consistent output.

DTF Apex AI Vision Auto Calibration

Real-Time Ink Output Monitoring

AI continuously monitors actual ink output and detects ink starvation or supply interruptions early, helping prevent blank printing, defective rolls, and unnecessary material waste.

Continuous AI Print Correction

AI continuously monitors print alignment and compensates for gradual step and registration drift, maintaining consistent quality throughout extended roll-to-roll production.

AI Media & Feeding Monitoring

The system monitors media movement in real time to detect slipping, stoppage, abnormal tension, and potential jams before they disrupt continuous production.

AI-Powered Unattended Printing

AI monitors production continuously and responds to abnormalities through predefined actions such as alerts, cleaning, media handling, or print pauses—reducing operator supervision during long runs and night shifts.

Centralized Multi-Printer Management

Centralized Multi-Printer Management

Manage multiple APEX printers from one central computer. The system monitors machine status and automatically distributes jobs from a centralized task pool to available printers, improving equipment utilization and simplifying production expansion.

PC-Free Smart Control with Built-In RIP

The Linux-based embedded terminal integrates touchscreen operation, print control, job management, cloud connectivity, and RIP processing directly into the printer—eliminating the need for a separate production computer.

Intelligent Powder & Curing System

DTF-750 Apex Intelligent Shaker

Sublistar Apex Shaker Smart Powder Feeding System

Smart Powder Feeding System

The heated powder hopper removes moisture before feeding, while intelligent reverse rotation and vibration automatically prevent clogging and caking. Real-time monitoring with touchscreen feedback ensures stable powder delivery for uninterrupted production.

Sublistar Apex Shaker Precision Powder Application System

Precision Powder Application System

Built-in weighing sensors continuously monitor powder flow and automatically adjust the feeding volume for consistent coating quality. A four-blade powder shaker distributes powder evenly across the film, while low-powder alerts help keep production running without interruption.

Sublistar Apex Shaker Precision Multi-Zone Curing System

Precision Multi-Zone Curing System

Advanced multi-zone heating with independent temperature control and far-infrared technology ensures every print receives consistent, even heat. With true-to-display temperature accuracy, you can produce with confidence from the first meter to the last.

Sublistar Apex Shaker Maintenance-Free Air Purification

Maintenance-Free Air Purification

Advanced oil mist separation technology effectively removes smoke, oil mist, odors, and fine particles from the exhaust. The long-life filtration system requires no routine filter replacement, helping reduce maintenance costs while providing a cleaner working environment.

Sublistar Apex Shaker One-Touch Smart Operation

One-Touch Smart Operation

The Linux-based touchscreen integrates all shaker controls and production settings into one intuitive interface. Operators can save multiple production presets, recall the right settings with one touch, and monitor real-time machine data—simplifying setup, reducing training time, and minimizing operating errors.

Intelligent Film Transport & Rewinding System

A seamless conveyor belt with automatic deviation correction keeps the film moving smoothly and prevents lateral drifting. Intelligent constant-tension rewinding maintains stable tension throughout production, delivering flat, wrinkle-free, neatly aligned finished rolls—even during long runs and large-roll take-up.

Smart Fault Diagnosis

Real-time fault notifications are displayed directly on the touchscreen, while the three-color status tower provides instant visual machine status. Combined with a modular mechanical and electrical design, hydraulic lift-assisted oven cover, and pull-out conveyor belt and fan modules, routine maintenance and part replacement become faster, safer, and easier.

Flexible Options for a Customized Workflow

Choose from a range of optional features to improve convenience, automation, and production management. - Bluetooth Audio - Remote APP Monitoring - Bypass Take-up Roller - Film Length Counter

A Smarter DTF Production Workflow

Upload File

Upload your artwork from a local device or the cloud and send it directly into the Apex workflow.

RIP Processing

Process colors, white ink and print settings with your RIP software or optional built-in RIP.

Smart Relay

Jobs enter the smart relay pool and are automatically routed to the assigned Apex printer.

Printing & Curing

Apex Printer and Shaker work together for stable printing, powdering and precision curing.

Finished Transfer

Get vibrant, consistently cured DTF transfers ready for heat pressing and final production.

One PC. Multiple Printers. Zero Confusion.

Scale Your Production, Not Your Complexity.

Manage multiple APEX printers from one central computer. The system monitors machine status in real time and automatically distributes jobs from a centralized task pool to the appropriate available printer—reducing workflow confusion and idle time while simplifying production expansion.

Same Intelligent Shaker. No Compromise

There is no difference in powder shaker functionality between APEX and APEX Pro. Both versions are paired with the same intelligent powdering, curing, conveying and take-up platform. Every APEX configuration includes intelligent powder feeding, precision powder application, temperature-controlled curing, automatic belt correction and constant-tension rewinding. The DTF-6002 APEX uses a compact single-oven system, while the DTF-6003 APEX through DTF-6008 APEX use dual-oven curing systems matched to their production requirements.
