STS XPD-924D DTF Printer: 24-Inch Specs and $24,995 Price

The STS XPD-924D is a 24-inch roll-to-roll DTF printer built on a Mutoh platform, with two staggered AccuFine HD printheads, built-in white ink circulation, and a US MSRP of $24,995. STS Inks sells it in the United States, and in April 2026 Mutoh Europe added the same machine to its own catalog for the EMEA region, which is why you now see it described as both an STS and a Mutoh printer.

This article covers the confirmed specifications, print speeds by mode, what the optional S-20 shaker adds, and where the XPD-924D sits against other 24-inch production DTF printers.

STS XPD-924D Specifications

STS does not state a warranty term on the product page. Ask the dealer for the written warranty before purchase.

Print Speed by Mode

STS publishes four production modes. These are STS's figures, not independent measurements, and they are single-pass color numbers:

Mutoh Europe quotes 11.4 m²/h for dual-layer CMYK plus white output, which is the realistic number for finished DTF transfers, since every transfer needs the white underbase printed in the same pass. On a 24-inch roll that works out to roughly 45 linear feet of film per hour in production mode, or on the order of 150 to 200 adult-size front prints per hour depending on how tightly you nest. Our gang sheet optimization guide covers nesting for 24-inch rolls.

The Mutoh Connection

The XPD-924D uses Mutoh's AccuFine HD printheads, Dropmaster and Feed Master calibration systems, and i-screen waveform technology, all of which come from Mutoh's XpertJet sign printer line. STS Inks, which supplies DTF, sublimation, and solvent inks, sells the machine in the US under its own name with its own XPD ink.

On April 22, 2026, Mutoh Europe announced the XPD-924D as an addition to its own portfolio for the EMEA region through Mutoh's authorized reseller network, bundled with Digital Factory RIP 12 and Mutoh Status Monitor for print history, job costing, and remote monitoring. Mutoh Europe describes it as aimed at "high-volume DTF production," and the launch is what put the printer back in the trade press this year.

For US buyers the practical effect is that the platform now has two manufacturers standing behind it, which matters for parts availability and printhead supply over a five-year ownership period.

The Optional S-20 Powder Shaker

The XPD-924D is a printer only. For production you will pair it with the STS Automatic S-20 TPU Adhesive Powder Shaker, which STS and Mutoh both list as the matched option. The S-20 adds automatic powder application, powder recycling, and a vacuum conveyor platform that pulls the film flat through the shaker and dryer.

STS does not publish S-20 pricing on the product page. Budget for it separately, along with a dryer, film, powder, and a 24-inch or wider heat press. The DTF powder guide explains what an automatic shaker changes in daily operation.

Where the XPD-924D Fits

At $24,995 the XPD-924D lands at the same MSRP as the 64-inch Epson SureColor G9070, which prints more than twice as wide with twin-roll capability. The trade-off is floor space and consumable commitment: a 64-inch machine needs a wider shaker, wider film, and a shop that can keep it busy.

Against the Mimaki TxF330-800, which is also a 24-inch-class production DTF printer announced in September 2026, the XPD-924D has a published US price and immediate availability, while Mimaki had not announced US pricing at the time of writing.

Against desktop machines like the Roland VersaStudio BY2-20 at $7,995, the XPD-924D costs three times as much and delivers dual printheads, white circulation, and production-class speed in return.

The XPD-924D suits a shop that is already selling DTF transfers wholesale or printing several hundred pieces a day and wants a 24-inch machine with a domestic ink supplier and Mutoh hardware behind it. It is not a first printer. Compare it against other production models in the DTF printer database.
