SHERIDAN, WYOMING – June 27, 2025 – Ricoh Europe has unveiled its latest innovation in textile printing technology, the XTF D430, a compact, affordable, and versatile direct-to-film (DTF) system designed to empower small to medium Print Service Providers (PSPs) across EMEA with unprecedented application creativity, operational flexibility, and stable production quality.

- Versatile applications: The XTF D430 accommodates a diverse array of customized apparel and promotional products.
- Ease of use: An intuitive touch screen interface streamlines operation, enabling faster production cycles.
- Exceptional durability: The system’s robust design ensures that printed items retain their vibrant appearance even after extended use.
The compact footprint of the XTF D430, combined with its integrated cutting unit offering roll-to-roll and roll-to-cut capabilities on materials up to 432mm wide, provides small and medium businesses with a space-efficient solution that can seamlessly scale production without requiring major facility modifications.
Strategic Benefits for On-Demand Textile Production
By expanding its textile solutions portfolio with the XTF D430, Ricoh continues to align with industry trends favoring rapid turnaround times, small-batch orders, and mass customization. These factors are increasingly critical for B2B textile operations aiming to capture new market opportunities in both corporate merchandise and consumer fashion segments.
