The APEX XR1515 is a fully automatic roll-to-roll DTF heat press system designed to improve efficiency, consistency, and ease of operation in high-volume garment production. Unlike traditional heat presses that require manual film placement and peeling, the XR1515 automates the entire transfer process — including film feeding, alignment, pressing, peeling, and automatic correction.
Equipped with a 15" x 15" heating platen, an automatic film correction system, and a slide-out garment loading base. Its automatic correction function helps keep the film running in the proper position, ensuring more accurate transfer placement and reducing the risk of misalignment during production.
The roll-to-roll workflow provides stable and repeatable transfer positioning, helping reduce manual errors and improve overall efficiency. A powerful touchscreen PLC control system makes operation more convenient and intuitive, allowing users to manage settings and production functions more easily.
Capable of producing approximately 230–250 garments per hour, the XR1515 is an ideal solution for DTF print shops, garment factories, and businesses looking to scale transfer production with greater speed, consistency, and control.

* Production capacity calculated using DTF film. Actual throughput varies by transfer, garment, and operator.
Every spec below exists for one reason: keeping garments moving.
Automated cycles keep operators loading and unloading while the machine presses. The rated hourly capacity in Specifications is sustained output, not a burst number.
Digital controls hold your recipe cycle after cycle, so the thousandth garment presses like the first. No operator drift, no re-dialing between runs.
Industrial heating elements and calibrated platens keep edge-to-edge temperature true. Verify each model’s range in the Specifications table above.
Production machines from a 23-year heat press manufacturer, the same engineering running high-volume decoration floors worldwide, backed by US-based support.
Model throughput, price per piece, and labor. Then decide with numbers, not guesses.
