Big artwork. Bigger gang sheets. More room to work.
Kolormatrix is expanding our custom DTF transfer production with the addition of the DTF Station X6, giving us a new up to 34" wide printable image area for custom DTF gang sheets and oversized graphics.
For customers, this means more than simply having a bigger printer.
It means:
- more artwork across each row
- better gang-sheet efficiency
- larger one-piece graphics
- faster production on high-volume orders
- more flexibility for oversized apparel
- added production capacity alongside our existing XL3
- the same focus on professional 9-color ECG output
We are keeping our existing XL3 in production, so the X6 expands our capability rather than replacing what we already have.
Why Does a 34" Image Area Matter?
Most decorators are familiar with gang sheets in the low-20-inch width range.
That works very well for many jobs.
But once artwork becomes larger—or order quantities increase—the available width begins to matter.
Imagine a design that is approximately 10" wide.
On a narrower gang sheet, you may be able to place two designs across.
With a 34" printable area, depending on spacing and artwork dimensions, you may be able to place three across.
That means more transfers can potentially be produced with less linear film.
And when artwork is larger, the difference can become even more significant.
A design that only fits once across a narrower sheet may fit twice across a wider production area.
That can dramatically change gang-sheet efficiency.
More Room Means More Possibilities
The larger X6 print area gives customers more flexibility when building gang sheets with combinations such as:
- left-chest logos
- full fronts
- full backs
- sleeve prints
- youth sizes
- adult sizes
- oversized fashion graphics
- multiple customer jobs
Instead of working around a narrower sheet, customers have more room to arrange artwork efficiently.
Less Wasted Space
Gang-sheet efficiency is not only about how long the sheet is.
Width matters too.
A wider sheet can make it easier to fill awkward spaces and create tighter layouts.
That can be especially useful for:
- screen printers
- embroidery shops
- apparel brands
- promotional product companies
- Etsy sellers
- schools
- sports programs
- high-volume decorators
The goal is simple:
Fit more usable artwork into the space you are already printing.
Oversized DTF Graphics Become Easier
The X6 also opens opportunities for larger one-piece transfers.
Think:
- oversized streetwear
- hoodie backs
- fashion graphics
- event apparel
- jerseys
- specialty promotional pieces
- dramatic full-back artwork
When the artwork itself approaches the width limit of smaller DTF systems, decorators may be forced to reduce the design, split it, or find another production method.
A 34" image area gives us significantly more room to work.
That means customers can think bigger.
Literally.
9-Color ECG: Bigger Does Not Mean Giving Up Color
One of the most important parts of this expansion is that we are not adding width by stepping backward in print quality.
Our X6 is a 9-color expanded color gamut system.
That means our goal remains the same:
- vibrant color
- smoother gradients
- better reproduction of difficult colors
- stronger photographic output
- richer tonal range
- professional-quality detail
For us, the X6 is not about choosing between:
speed or color
or:
width or quality
The goal is to increase production capability while continuing to deliver the kind of output our customers expect.
Two 9-Color ECG Production Systems
The X6 will join our existing DTF Station XL3.
That gives Kolormatrix two professional ECG production systems rather than relying on one machine for every type of order.
That added capacity gives us more flexibility for:
- production scheduling
- larger gang-sheet orders
- rush work
- short runs
- overflow production
- equipment downtime or maintenance
- seasonal demand spikes
For customers, that means greater production redundancy and room for growth.
Better Capacity for Larger Orders
Our custom DTF transfer business continues to grow.
And one of the reasons we invested in the X6 is simple:
we needed more capacity.
The wider print area can help us move larger orders through production more efficiently, particularly when artwork sizes allow us to take advantage of the additional width.
That matters for customers ordering:
- hundreds of transfers
- repeated logos
- large back prints
- event orders
- contract decoration work
- production runs with multiple sizes
The faster we can produce a job without sacrificing quality, the better we can serve growing shops.
A Better Tool for Professional Decorators
The X6 is especially exciting for screen printers.
Many screen-printing shops now use DTF alongside traditional screen printing.
DTF can make sense for:
- low quantities
- full-color artwork
- names and numbers
- complex gradients
- short-turn jobs
- supplemental decoration
- artwork with too many colors for economical screen printing
A wider DTF production system simply gives those shops more options.
And if you are already outsourcing transfers rather than running your own DTF printer, you get the benefit of the larger production platform without adding another machine to your shop.
Use It With Our Build Your Own Gang Sheet Program
Customers can continue using our Build Your Own Gang Sheet tool to arrange artwork and prepare orders.
You can:
- upload your own artwork
- import from Canva
- reuse previous designs
- browse our Free DTF Art Gallery
- combine different sizes and designs onto one gang sheet
And with our expanding Free Gallery, you can even use unused space for ready-to-print artwork without paying a separate artwork charge.
That makes a wider sheet even more useful.
Larger Width + Free Artwork = More Opportunity
Imagine laying out a production gang sheet and discovering an unused section.
Instead of wasting that area, you could add:
- a seasonal graphic
- a Christian design
- patriotic artwork
- a sample for your showroom
- a test print
- a future retail design
More printable width means more opportunities to use every inch effectively.
Built for Fast-Turn Production
Kolormatrix will continue offering multiple service levels for custom DTF transfers:
Standard
Same day to next day, depending on order timing and production load.
Rush
Same-day expedited production.
Hot Rush
Our fastest option for qualifying urgent orders.
Adding the X6 gives us another production tool to help support that service structure as demand grows.
Low-Temperature, Instant-Peel Transfers
Our production philosophy is not only about what happens in the printer.
Application matters too.
Our KolorMax DTF transfers are designed around features such as:
- instant peel
- low-temperature application
- soft hand
- professional color
- repeatable production
For decorators pressing dozens or hundreds of garments, every part of the workflow matters.
A transfer that looks great but slows the press operator down is not necessarily the best production solution.
Why We Made the Investment
The X6 represents a significant investment in the future of our DTF transfer business.
But we believe the market is moving toward decorators who need:
- more capacity
- faster turnaround
- professional color
- larger gang sheets
- better efficiency
- reliable support
Our customers are growing.
Their orders are growing.
And we want our production capability to grow with them.
The Bottom Line
The new X6 gives Kolormatrix:
Up to 34" of printable image area
9-color ECG output
increased production capacity
better gang-sheet efficiency
larger one-piece transfer capability
another professional DTF production system alongside our XL3
For customers, that means one thing:
More room to create. More capacity to grow.
We are excited to put the X6 into production and see what our customers do with the additional width.
If you have been limited by narrower gang sheets—or simply want a professional DTF partner with greater production capacity—we would love to print your next order.
