    Description

    APEX XC-25 Fully Automatic DTF Film Cutter

    APEX XC-25 Fully Automatic DTF Film Cutter is built for DTF shops that need faster output, cleaner cutting, and a more efficient finishing workflow. Designed for film rolls up to 25.5" wide, it handles PET, PVC, and other common film materials with stable, high-precision performance.

    With cutting speed of up to 984 feet per hour, the XC-25 is designed for continuous production and can support the output of up to 4 DTF printers, making it a highly efficient finishing solution for growing operations.

    A key advantage of the APEX XC-25 is its cutting system. The cross-cutting blade is rated for up to 1,000,000 cycles, supporting long-term durability in demanding production environments. In addition, the machine uses an exclusive pneumatic cutting knife, delivering more precise cutting action and cleaner separation for improved accuracy and more effective cut-off performance. Pneumatic and automated cutting systems are commonly marketed for precision, cleaner cuts, and reduced operator intervention in industrial film workflows.

    Stop relying on manual cutting. The APEX XC-25 helps reduce labor, save time, and lower material waste while creating a smoother, more profitable production process. For shops looking to scale efficiently, it is the smarter alternative to hand cutting.

    Buying automation equipment

    What power and air requirements do I need?

    Check the Specifications table on this page for voltage, amps, watts, and CFM (if pneumatic). When in doubt, book a call. We will confirm shop electrical and compressor capacity before you order.

    How is shipping handled for a machine this size?

    Heat presses ship via commercial freight. Dimensions and shipping weight are listed in Specifications. You will receive tracking and delivery coordination for dock or residential delivery as applicable.

    What if I am not sure this is the right machine?

    Use the ROI calculator above, compare platen size and production capacity, or schedule a free consult. Our team will map volume, garment mix, and budget to VECTOR / TITAN / ATLAS / APEX lines.

    Do you offer financing?

    Yes. Financing options are available for qualifying orders. See our financing page or ask during checkout or consult.

    What support do I get after purchase?

    US-based support can help with setup questions, parts, and troubleshooting. Keep your order number handy when you contact us.

    What happens if it goes down mid-run?

    US-based support helps you triage fast, and parts ship from the US. For production-critical lines, ask your specialist about spare-parts kits and response options before you buy.

    My volume doesn’t justify automation yet. What should I do?

    Then don’t buy it yet. A Titan or ATLAS press may fit today’s volume, and the upgrade path is real. See the lineup below or take the 2-minute finder quiz.

    Can I see it run before I buy?

    Yes. That’s the point. Book a live production demo at our Orange, CA showroom or a virtual walkthrough, and we’ll run your artwork and transfers on the machine.
