IRWINDALE | California – July 2026 – DTGPRO has announced the launch of the DTFLINE HYBRID-X2, a professional hybrid DTG + DTF printing system built for shops ready to expand into both direct-to-garment and direct-to-film production — available now with special limited-time introductory pricing. The HYBRID-X2 is a commercial Ricoh printhead-based garment printing platform designed for apparel decorators, print shops, fulfillment businesses, and growing brands that need professional DTG print quality with the added flexibility of DTF transfer production, all in one system.
Built for Modern Garment Production
Unlike low-cost converted desktop printers, the HYBRID-X2 is a purpose-built industrial garment printing system featuring Ricoh piezo-electric drop-on-demand printhead technology with four Ricoh printheads, a closed-loop ink delivery system, automatic white ink circulation, automated maintenance functions, onboard WiFi connectivity, and a large 7-inch touchscreen control interface.
Less Babysitting. More Printing.
Traditional DTF and DTG systems often demand constant attention — frequent nozzle checks, white ink management, manual cleaning, and daily operator intervention. The HYBRID-X2 reduces that burden with an advanced auto maintenance workflow, automatic white ink circulation, automated printhead cleaning, precise ink monitoring, and power purge functionality. For busy shops, that means a more production-ready printer, reduced downtime, and a workflow that is easier to manage than many traditional DTF printers and converted desktop systems.
Easy Switch from DTG to DTF
One of the HYBRID-X2’s standout advantages is its intuitive DTG-to-DTF switching workflow: operators move between direct-to-garment and direct-to-film applications with a simple workflow change in the RIP software — expanding production without the cost or footprint of two separate printer platforms. DTG mode prints directly onto cotton and high-cotton garments for premium short-run apparel, while DTF mode produces transfers for polyester, blends, specialty placements, and transfer-based fulfillment. Combined with onboard WiFi, Ethernet, and USB connectivity, the system streamlines both file transfer and production setup.
Key Specifications
The HYBRID-X2 offers a printable area up to 16 in x 19.6 in, print speeds of approximately 28 seconds for a 10 in x 8 in graphic on a light garment in speed mode, and resolution settings up to 1200 x 1200 dpi. The system supports 100% cotton, high-cotton blends, 100% light polyester, up to 50/50 dark polyester, wood, and canvas, with Oeko-Tex® certified ink options for apparel intended for adults and children.
Special Launch Pricing
For a limited time, DTGPRO is offering special introductory pricing across three HYBRID-X2 configurations: the Essentials bundle at $9,949.99, the DTG Edition at $10,049.99, and the complete Hybrid Edition — including ink set, pretreatment sprayer and solution, DTF film and powder, and a DTF curing station — at $10,499.99. The promotion applies to the first three units sold per model or until the countdown expires, whichever comes first. All bundles include professional RIP software ($670 value), a DTG platen ($350 value), a maintenance and waste management kit, and a 1-on-1 virtual training and onboarding session ($895 value).
