One-Click / Automated Workflow & Full Lifecycle Auto-Maintenance
The Apparel Printer is designed to simplify setup and operation: you can go from design to print, to baking (heat press) more or less with minimal manual steps. It also has full-lifecycle auto-maintenance, which means less frequent and easier cleaning especially of nozzles, etc.
Wide Fabric Compatibility
Works on a broad range of materials: cotton, leather, polyester, spandex, etc., and supports both light and dark fabrics. This is a big benefit because many printing solutions are limited to one kind of fabric or the other.
High-End Print Head & Color Accuracy
Uses an industrial-grade Epson I1600 dual print head (a component found in high-end DTF printers). Also includes a 16MP AI Smart Camera to enable automatic calibration to ensure prints are accurate and consistent from the start.
Design Software Integration / Efficiency Tools
Comes with or uses "Creative Space" software, which helps with design optimization, image enhancement, layout refinement. Helps reduce waste, streamline design to print workflows.
Accessibility & Fast Adoption, Lower Barrier to Entry
The printer has generated a strong response (raised over US$1 million in 1.5 hours on Kickstarter, then more) which suggests there is strong demand. Also, the features they emphasize (simple operation, broad material support, auto-maintenance) suggest they’re targeting both pros & hobbyists / businesses that don’t want a huge learning curve.
