Description
The STS XPD-924D: Built for Professionals, By Professionals
The XPD-924D is STS’s flagship 24-inch DTF printer — designed for shops that need real production output, not a hobby machine. With dual staggered AccuFine HD printheads, a precision heavy-duty aluminum rail system, and a fully integrated white ink circulation system, this printer is built to run all day, every day, with minimal downtime and maximum consistency. Whether you are a screen printer adding DTF to your menu or a dedicated DTF shop scaling production, the XPD-924D delivers the speed, quality, and support infrastructure to get it done.
XPD-924D Key Features
Two Epson piezo printheads in a staggered configuration deliver smooth gradations, sharp fine lines, and vibrant color at speeds that single-head printers can’t match. The staggered layout eliminates banding seams and improves uniformity across the full 24.5″ print width.
White ink contains heavy titanium dioxide pigment that settles rapidly when idle. The XPD-924D’s built-in active circulation system keeps white ink continuously moving through the lines — even while the printer is idle — preventing clogs, reducing maintenance, and maximizing uptime.
The XPD-924D’s Dropmaster 2 system automatically aligns both printheads bidirectionally via built-in sensors. Accurate head alignment eliminates the ghosting and double-imaging that plague manual setups, ensuring clean, sharp prints at high speed.
Feed Master automatically adjusts the media feed rollers for the loaded film. Consistent, precise media advancement eliminates misregistration, banding from uneven feeding, and film buckling — common failure points on lesser machines.
i-screen applies multiple printhead waveforms simultaneously to scatter ink dot placement in a way that visually breaks up any residual banding pattern. The result is smooth, photographic-quality output even at high-speed production modes.
An upgraded front dryer system accelerates ink curing on the film after printing, reducing the wet zone between the print and powder application stages. Faster drying means faster hand-off to the powder shaker and fewer adhesion issues.
The XPD-924D’s precision-machined aluminum rail system maintains printhead carriage stability across the full print width — critical for consistent dot placement and color-to-color registration on long print runs.
MSM companion software provides remote access, real-time print history tracking, and job cost analysis. Monitor your printer’s status, estimate consumable costs per job, and diagnose issues without walking to the machine.

Transfer Application Guide — Heat Press Settings
| Fabric Type | Temp | Dwell Time | Pressure | Peel | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100% Cotton | 300–320°F | 12–15 sec | Medium-Firm | Cold | Best adhesion; most forgiving substrate for DTF. |
| 50/50 Poly-Cotton | 305–315°F | 12–15 sec | Medium-Firm | Cold | Most popular DTF substrate; consistent results. |
| 100% Polyester | 275–295°F | 10–12 sec | Light-Medium | Cold | Lower temp prevents dye migration. Always test. |
| Athletic/Performance | 275–295°F | 10–12 sec | Light | Warm | DTF excels here — stretches without cracking. |
| Nylon | 265–285°F | 10–12 sec | Light | Cold | Heat-sensitive — test on your specific nylon first. |
| Denim / Canvas | 305–315°F | 15–18 sec | Firm | Cold | Heavier weave needs longer dwell for full bond. |
Press your garment 3–5 seconds before applying the transfer to remove all moisture and wrinkles. Moisture is the #1 cause of DTF adhesion failure.
Compatible Fabric Types
| Fabric / Substrate | Compatibility | Pre-Treatment | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100% Cotton | Excellent | None | Best adhesion; ideal starting point |

| 100% Polyester | Excellent | None | Lower press temp; test for dye migration |
| Athletic/Performance | Excellent | None | Stretches and recovers without cracking |
| Tri-Blend | Very Good | None | Soft feel; test wash recommended |
| Nylon | Good | None | Lower temp; always test specific type |
| Denim / Canvas | Very Good | None | Longer press time for thick weave |
| Silk / Delicates | Not Recommended | — | Heat press temps damage delicate fibers |

Frequently Asked Questions — STS XPD-924D DTF Printer
The XPD-924D requires STS XPD2 500ml or 1-Liter DTF Ink Cartridges — formulated exclusively for this machine. Using any other ink will void the printhead warranty. Available at River City Supply: CMYK, White, and Cleaning Solution cartridges.
