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×.
