xTool C1 Color Cutter: a versatile printing and cutting machine

The xTool C1 Color Cutter is a creative cutting machine that combines color inkjet printing, scanning and blade cutting in a compact device. It allows you to create custom stickers, communication materials, creative cards and textile designs for transfer.

Since printing is built into the xTool C1, no additional module is required for color printing. Compatible with a wide variety of materials, it is designed for creators, craft enthusiasts and users looking to personalize different objects.

With its combined functions, the xTool C1 Color Cutter simplifies projects involving printed designs and precise cutting. It can also operate as a conventional cutting machine, without using the printing function.

xTool C1 Color Cutter: 3 key features

Integrated color printing for personalized creations

The xTool C1 Color Cutter features a CMYK inkjet printing system for producing colorful designs directly on various compatible materials. This feature allows you to create stickers, illustrations and personalized visuals without an external printer.

With a resolution of up to 720 × 1,200 dpi, it provides a level of detail suited to a wide range of creative projects. Official DURA ink is required to ensure compatibility with the printing system.

Printing and cutting for precise finishes

The xTool C1 Color Cutter combines color printing with blade cutting to turn designs into ready-to-use creations. It is particularly suitable for making stickers, labels and custom shapes.

The machine can also cut materials without prior printing, including vinyl, heat transfer vinyl and cardstock. The standard mat supports a working area of up to 305 × 305 mm, while an optional longer mat extends the available area.

A wide range of materials for more creative projects

The xTool C1 Color Cutter supports various materials for crafting and personalization. It can print on sticker paper, cardstock, photo paper and certain pre-treated fabrics. Printable heat transfer paper can also be used to prepare designs for clothing.

For wood and white acrylic, using a print primer spray is necessary to achieve better results. This versatility allows you to explore a wider range of applications without investing in multiple machines.

xTool C1 Color Cutter: additional technologies and features

Integrated scanning for easier creation

The xTool C1 Color Cutter includes a scanning function designed to facilitate design positioning and cutting preparation. It allows you to work from hand-drawn designs and better align projects with the material being used.

This approach simplifies shape customization and the reproduction of original creations. Combined with printing and cutting, scanning brings several production steps together in a single working environment.

An expandable working area for larger projects

With its standard 305 × 305 mm cutting mat, the xTool C1 Color Cutter is suitable for stationery projects, stickers and designs of standard sizes. For longer creations, it is also compatible with a 305 × 610 mm mat, sold separately.

This extension allows you to adapt the working area to larger projects without changing machines. The format used depends on the installed mat and the dimensions of the design being produced.

DURA inks and printing on different materials

The xTool C1 Color Cutter uses official DURA CMYK inks. The system is not designed to be refilled with third-party inks: non-official inks are not supported and may compromise print quality. Results and preparation requirements vary depending on the material.

Sticker paper, pre-treated fabrics and certain creative papers are among the compatible materials. For printing on wood or white acrylic, xTool recommends using a suitable print primer spray.

Accessories to expand creative possibilities

The range of compatible accessories allows you to adapt the xTool C1 Color Cutter to different projects. Depending on the selected configuration, you can add hot foil transfer tips, an electrostatic mat or a roll holder. Certain accessories also allow you to work with specific materials, with a cutting thickness of up to 3 mm under the conditions specified by xTool.

Check the compatibility of each accessory and the limitations associated with the material before choosing a configuration.
