Questions & Answers

What is the main benefit of adding an APEX XC-25 to a DTF production line?

The APEX XC-25 automates the tedious process of hand-trimming printed DTF rolls into individual transfer sheets or customer-ready orders. By processing up to 300 meters per hour, it eliminates post-press bottlenecks, slashes labor costs, and keeps pace with up to 4 active DTF printers simultaneously.

What maximum roll width can the APEX XC-25 handle?

The machine supports transfer film rolls up to 25.5 inches wide (650 mm), making it fully compatible with 24-inch and 60-cm wide DTF printing systems as well as narrower rolls.

How does the cutter align graphics to prevent miscuts?

The APEX XC-25 features integrated optical tracking sensors that detect printed registration marks on the film, ensuring every cross-cut is straight, precise, and placed accurately between transfer graphics.

What materials can the APEX XC-25 cut?

It is optimized for Direct-to-Film (DTF) PET carrier film, PVC film, heat transfer vinyl rolls, and various flexible plastic and paper roll materials.

Where can I get replacement blades and technical support?

When purchased through Lawson Workhorse Group (LWG), replacement blades and technical support are readily available from our regional hubs in St. Louis, MO, Atlanta, GA, Phoenix, Orlando, and Des Moines.
