Anker’s eufyMake brand is launching a personal fabric printer in spring 2027 that combines direct-to-garment (DTG) and direct-to-film (DTF) technologies. According to reports from IFA 2026, the device allows users to print custom designs on t-shirts, jeans, bags, and hats, with the ability to reproduce colors on both light and dark fabrics.
Hybrid Printing: DTG and DTF in One Device
The upcoming eufyMake printer integrates two methods into a single machine. Direct-to-garment (DTG) technology applies ink directly onto soft, absorbent fabrics. For other materials, the device supports direct-to-film (DTF), which prints a design onto a film that is then transferred to the garment using a heat press.
According to the company, these two techniques can be used on the same piece of clothing, though not simultaneously. This versatility is designed to replace the need for multiple machines.
Reducing Costs for Multicolor Embroidery
A specific application of the eufyMake printer is its compatibility with embroidery. Anker claims the DTG capability can work on embroidered designs, allowing users to avoid the high cost of multicolor embroidery machines.
The workflow involves using a cheaper, single-color embroidery machine to create the stitched texture, then using the eufyMake printer to add colors to the design after the stitching is complete.
Expanding the eufy Ecosystem at IFA 2026
The fabric printer is part of a broader hardware push revealed at IFA 2026 in Berlin. Anker introduced several smart home and security updates under the eufy brand.
AI Security and Surveillance
The Eufy NVR Security System E50 features a hybrid setup of 2K fixed bullet and 4K PTZ dual-lens cameras. It utilizes OmniTrack AI tracking and auto-framing. This system is currently available in the U.S., Canada, and Australia, with four-camera packages starting at $999 and eight-camera options at $1,599.
Other security releases include:
- Eufy Video Doorbell S4: A 9 MP camera with a 180-degree field of view and OmniTrack, priced from $299 starting late September.
- Window Camera E10: A 2.5K resolution camera with F1.0 color night vision and a 25-degree adjustable tilt, retailing for $70 in late 2026.
- Eufy Fall Detection Sensor: A privacy-focused device using mmWave radar for fall detection without the use of cameras or wearables.
Autonomous Home Maintenance
In the robotics sector, Anker introduced the Robot Vacuum Omni E35. This model holds certifications from Tüv (Maternal and Infant Cleaning Robot) and the Asthma & Allergy Foundation of America. It features a multi-cyclone filtration system and a self-cleaning roller mop. Early bird pricing is set at $900, with a standard price of $1,100 upon its September 25 launch.
For outdoor maintenance, the Robot Lawn Mower S2 Max can map and cut areas up to 3.7 hectares. It uses all-wheel drive to handle slopes up to 38 degrees and features 48 TOPS of computing power for real-time decision-making. This product arrives in Europe in May 2027.
Did you know? The S2 Max lawn mower’s 48 TOPS (Tera Operations Per Second) allows it to process complex environmental data instantly, reducing the need for physical boundary wires.

Frequently Asked Questions
When will the eufyMake fabric printer be available?
The printer is scheduled for release in the spring of 2027.
Can it print on dark-colored clothes?
Yes, Anker states the technology can reproduce colors accurately on both light and dark fabrics.
What is the difference between DTG and DTF?
DTG (Direct-to-Garment) prints ink directly onto the cloth. DTF (Direct-to-Film) prints onto a special film first, which is then transferred to the garment via heat.
