One Platform, Multiple Creative Possibilities

To cater to diverse creative and production needs, the G1X Series is available in three distinct versions, each engineered for specific application scenarios:

• UV Version ($2799 after cashback): Built for high-efficiency 2D UV printing and 3D-texture printing across rigid materials, offering a wider color gamut, up to 12x faster production speeds, and lower ink costs. It is also expandable to Fabric Print Version or Full-Color 3D version when needed.
• Fabric Print Version ($2849 after cashback): Optimized for apparel customization, utilizing specialized aqueous ink to support both Direct-to-Garment (DTG) and Direct-to-Film (DTF) workflows.
• Full-Color 3D Version ($3099 after cashback): Designed for advanced 3D creation, featuring water-soluble support materials and bringing industrial-grade full-color 3D printing capabilities down to an accessible desktop price point.

UV Version: Wide Gamut, High Speed, and Flexible Expandability

Engineered specifically for high-efficiency 2D UV and 3D-texture printing, the UV Version of G1X Series delivers industrial-grade performance:

• Wider Color Gamut & Highest-level G7-Certified Precision: The self-developed ink set with Wide Gamut UV Ink renders over 10 million distinct colors at up to 1440 × 2400 DPI native resolution, achieving G7 Colorspace's highest certification level. Specialized Light Cyan (Lc) and Light Magenta (Lm) inks enable smooth tonal transitions across 400+ compatible materials, including wood, acrylic, glass, metal, and leather.
• Up to 12× Faster Speed: The G1X offers multiple UV printing modes to balance printing speed and color performance, allowing users to choose the configuration that best fits their needs. In Ultra-High-Speed Mode, it delivers up to 12×.
• Lower Operational Costs: With highly competitively priced inks, the G1X helps keep consumable costs low, making it a more cost-effective choice for long-term UV printing.
• Expandable Printing Capabilities: Users can easily expand the UV Version into Fabric Printing or upgrade to Full-Color 3D Printing as production demands grow, eliminating the need to replace core hardware.

Fabric Print Version: Versatile Apparel Customization

Dedicated to apparel and soft-goods customization, the Fabric Print Version leverages a specially developed water-based ink system to support both True DTF (Direct-to-Film) and DTG (Direct-to-Garment) workflows seamlessly within a single machine:

• Unified Aqueous Ink System: Both True DTF and DTG use the same specially developed water-based aqueous inks, delivering vibrant, full-color printing across a wide range of textile applications.
• Dual Workflows Tailored for Your Needs:
  • True DTF: Ideal for applications demanding richer details, higher color saturation, and ultra-vivid colors across diverse fabric types.
  • DTG: Perfect for direct-to-garment printing, creating softer, more breathable prints that seamlessly blend into the fabric for a natural hand-feel.

Full-Color 3D Version: Industrial 3D Performance at a Desktop Price

By combining full-color 3D printing and UV printing in one machine, the Full-Color 3D Version brings professional-grade creative capabilities to the desktop. As a crowdfunding-exclusive bonus, the 3D version package includes the essential UV printing supplies, so backers can unlock the machine's full creative potential right out of the box.

• Water-Soluble Support: Features advanced water-soluble support materials that dissolve effortlessly, enabling complex geometries, internal channels, and delicate details without risking manual post-processing damage.
• Industrial Power brought to Desktop: Delivers 90% of full-scale industrial printing capabilities and surface finish at just 10% of the cost of traditional industrial equipment.
• Vivid Full-Color 3D Models: Uses UV 3D Resin to produce detailed, durable models with smooth gradient transitions and transparent effects, eliminating post-print manual painting.
