xTool unveiled its 01 Omni Printer at a launch event in Berlin, calling it the world’s first 4-in-1 desktop printer. The device merges UV, direct-to-garment (DTG), direct-to-film (DTF) and UV DTF technologies into a single system, letting users print on surfaces as varied as wood, acrylic, glass and metal. Pricing starts at $1,699 for the UV-only edition and climbs to $2,799 for the UV and Fabric Edition.

What You Need to Know

The Omni Printer targets makers who want a single machine for multiple print jobs without switching gear. xTool’s Studio software, which powers the device, includes AI design generators and community templates. The company also claims its UV ink costs about one-third of the price charged for competing desktop UV printers, a potential draw for frequent users.

The 4-in-1 Capability

The Omni Printer’s main appeal is its ability to handle four print methods natively. UV printing cures ink instantly on rigid surfaces, while DTG works on fabrics. DTF creates transfers that can be applied to garments, and UV DTF builds layered stickers. xTool says the system can print on almost any imaginable surface, with a maximum thickness of 5mm. The texture from UV printing can produce a 2.5D-like relief effect, adding depth to designs.

  • UV printing: Cures ink on wood, acrylic, glass and metal for durable, vibrant results.
  • DTG: Prints directly onto garments for custom apparel without transfers.
  • DTF: Produces film-based transfers that work on fabrics and other materials.
  • UV DTF: Creates layered stickers and decals with a glossy finish that can be applied to curved surfaces.

xTool’s Expanding Ecosystem

This launch follows xTool’s move into printing last year with the M1 Ultra and a laser DTF system. The company, which CEO Jason Wang described as a 10-year-old maker tool business, has built a reputation in laser cutters. The Omni Printer joins the new M2 color craft laser in xTool’s lineup. Both machines run on xTool Studio, software that offers access to online templates, project ideas and AI generators for logos and designs. During the Berlin event, Tom’s Hardware observed Studio handling a single job across an Omni Printer and a P3 laser cutter, with the printer outputting glossy designs that the laser then cut out precisely. One computer also controlled multiple Omni machines simultaneously.

Why This Matters

The Omni Printer could reshape the desktop manufacturing space for hobbyists and small businesses. Instead of buying separate machines for UV, DTG, DTF and UV DTF work, a maker can now get one device that covers all four. That reduces both upfront investment and workspace clutter. The lower ink cost relative to competitors such as EufyMake’s UV printer may also lower the long-term expense of high-volume production. On the day, Tom’s Hardware noted no noticeable ink odor, which xTool attributed to improved curing chemistry. If these claims hold true, the Omni Printer could become a go-to tool for custom merchandise, prototyping and craft projects.

That said, the $2,799 top-tier price may still be steep for casual users. Makers who only need UV printing on flat surfaces might prefer the entry-level $1,699 model. The real test will come when independent reviews verify the claims about material adhesion, print quality and ink longevity.

Practical Impressions

The Omni Printer supports white ink for creating opaque backgrounds on dark materials, and the UV-cured output can build up enough texture to feel tactile. xTool says the relief can reach 5mm, giving designs a sculpted appearance. Then the workflow is streamlined by Studio’s ability to send jobs to multiple machines in sequence. This combination of hardware versatility and software integration makes the Omni Printer a notable addition to the maker tool market.

Both the UV and Fabric editions are available for preorder starting today. Deliveries are expected in the coming months.
