xTool O1 Omni Printer: UV, UV DTF, DTG, and DTF in One Desktop Machine
The xTool O1 Omni combines UV, UV DTF, DTG, and DTF printing in one desktop machine. Our in-depth guide covers print modes, editions, bundles, and pricing.
Acrylic signs on Monday, tumblers on Tuesday, a batch of T-shirts by Friday. The xTool O1 Omni brings four print workflows into one machine. Here's how each one works, which edition fits your shop, and how to get yours from MatterHackers.
Most print shops grow one machine at a time. A UV printer handles hard goods. A DTG printer handles cotton shirts. A DTF setup covers polyester and blends. Every new product category means another printer, another ink system, another maintenance routine, and more floor space before you can take the first order.
The xTool O1 Omni Printer takes a different approach. This is the world's first 4-in-1 omni printer, combining UV direct printing, UV DTF, DTG, and DTF on a single desktop platform with one software environment. For small businesses, custom gift shops, and event merch sellers, that means one design can become an acrylic sign, a tumbler decal, and a T-shirt without adding another machine to the shop.

Four Print Modes, One Platform
Each print method is good at something specific. The O1's advantage is that you don't have to pick just one.
| Print Mode | How It Works | Best For | Editions |
|---|---|---|---|
| UV Direct | UV ink is printed directly onto the item and cured instantly by UV light | Acrylic, wood, metal, glass, ceramic, phone cases, awards, signage | All editions |
| UV DTF | UV ink is printed onto transfer film and laminated into a peel-and-stick decal | Tumblers, bottles, and curved, textured, or irregular surfaces | All editions (requires the LM1 Laminator) |
| DTG | Fabric ink is printed directly onto the garment and heat cured | Cotton and natural-fiber T-shirts, hoodies, and totes | UV + DT Fabric Edition only |
| DTF | Artwork is printed onto film, powdered, cured, and heat-pressed onto fabric | Polyester, blends, nylon, performance wear, hats, and bags | UV + DT Fabric Edition only (requires a heat press) |
UV Direct produces sharp, full-color prints that are ready to handle as soon as they come off the bed. With the 3-in-1 Varnish channel you can add matte, gloss, or foil effects and build raised, tactile texture up to 7 mm (0.28") tall.
UV DTF is the answer for objects that are hard to print on directly. Print the design onto film, laminate it, and apply it to drinkware, curved items, or textured surfaces.
DTG gives cotton garments a soft, breathable print that feels like part of the fabric. Dark garments need pretreatment so the white underbase lays down cleanly. The DTG platen prints up to 11.8" x 15.4" (300 x 390 mm).
DTF works on far more fabric types than DTG, including synthetics and blends. White is built into every transfer, so dark fabrics don't need pretreatment.
How long do prints last in the wash? That depends on fabric, pretreatment, curing or pressing settings, and care. Under proper conditions, DTG prints typically last around 30 to 50 washes, and high-quality DTF transfers can reach 50 or more.

- Single UV Edition: The most affordable way to add full-color UV printing for awards, signage, keychains, and promotional products.
- Dual-Head UV Edition: Adds a second UV printhead dedicated to specialty inks. That unlocks neon and blacklight-reactive designs, flexible white for leather and canvas, and heavier white for multi-layer relief work. The second head expands the ink set; it doesn't double print speed.
- UV + DT Fabric Edition: The only edition that runs all four print modes. The fabric head's double white channel lays down a strong, opaque underbase for dark garments, and the fabric inks are OEKO-TEX certified. It also includes a garment tray, pretreatment solutions, and spray bottles.
Precise Placement on Any Object
The O1's Pixel-Scan vision system (1440 x 1200 dpi) captures what's on the bed so you can place artwork exactly where you want it, even on irregular objects. Positioning accuracy is within ±0.2 mm, and print resolution reaches 720 x 1440 dpi. Designs can be created in xTool's Atomm AI design platform, and the companion app handles remote cleaning and control.
Two print beds cover most jobs: a standard 13" x 4.8" (330 x 122 mm) bed and a large 13" x 16.5" (330 x 420 mm) bed.
Built to Handle Downtime
Maintenance is one of the biggest hidden costs of UV and apparel printing, especially for shops that don't print every day. The O1 is designed to make restarting after a weekend or a slow week more predictable.
- White ink stirring and circulation: White pigment settles faster than other colors. The O1 stirs the cartridge and keeps ink moving through the tubing and printhead path, reducing settling-related problems before you print.
- Ceramic heating module: Keeps UV ink around 30°C and DT ink around 25°C, so a cold garage or unheated studio doesn't change how your ink behaves.
- DT moisturizing mode: During idle periods, the UV + DT Fabric Edition uses moisturizing fluid in the fabric printhead instead of leaving pigment-heavy ink in the nozzles. That lowers clogging risk and reduces the ink used for maintenance.
No printer is maintenance-free, but these features help keep upkeep predictable and ink waste down.
Safety and certifications: the UV ink is GREENGUARD Gold certified, all inks are non-reprotoxic, and the DT fabric ink is OEKO-TEX certified.
One Design, a Whole Product Line
The real value of the O1 is how many sellable products you can make from a single piece of artwork:
- An acrylic sign or award
- A custom phone case or keychain
- A tumbler or water bottle decal
- A cotton T-shirt or hoodie
- A polyester tote or performance shirt
- A textured, embossed art piece
A wedding client can order signage, drinkware, and matching apparel from one shop. A school or club can get awards, bottles, and uniforms in a single order. An online seller can test new product categories without buying a new machine for each one.

Planning to print decals or DTF transfers? UV DTF requires the LM1 Laminator, which is included in the Versatile Bundle & Print and Press Deluxe Bundle. DTF also requires DTF film, adhesive powder, and a heat press such as the xTool WonderPress, which aren't included with the printer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can one printer really handle UV, UV DTF, DTG, and DTF?
Yes, with the UV + DT Fabric Edition. The Single UV and Dual-Head UV Editions handle UV direct printing and UV DTF for hard goods, but only the UV + DT Fabric Edition adds DTG and DTF for apparel.
Can I upgrade a UV edition to print on fabric later?
No. The UV editions can't be upgraded to the UV + DT Fabric Edition, so choose that edition at purchase if you plan to print apparel.
What's the difference between UV and UV DTF?
UV prints directly onto flat or lightly shaped hard surfaces. UV DTF prints onto film, which is laminated and applied as a decal to curved or irregular objects like tumblers and bottles.
What's the difference between DTG and DTF?
DTG prints directly onto fabric and works best on cotton, with a soft feel. DTF prints onto film that's heat-pressed onto the garment, so it works on polyester, blends, nylon, and more.
What else do I need for DTF printing?
DTF film, adhesive powder, and a heat press for curing and transfer. These aren't included with the printer.
Final Thoughts
The xTool O1 Omni gives small businesses and creators a way to grow their product line without growing their equipment list. Start with hard goods on a UV edition, or go all in with the UV + DT Fabric Edition and cover signs, drinkware, and apparel from a single desktop machine.
