Astra X2 Delivers.
Engineered without compromise.
Made in the USA.
Built in the USA for serious production environments. No outsourcing. No shortcuts. Just dependable manufacturing designed to perform day after day. Because where it’s made still matters — especially when your production depends on it.
DTF Deserves Better. So Do You.
Production isn’t about working harder.
DTF has changed the game — faster turnarounds, sharper detail, higher expectations. Your press should rise to meet that pace. Astra X2 was built for the way modern shops actually run: continuous, precise, and ready for volume.
Introducing NovaLift.
Powered by Gravity. Guided by Precision.NovaLift reimagines how force is applied. By lifting upward into the press, Astra X2 works in harmony with gravity — creating a balanced, controlled motion engineered for consistency. It’s a deliberate approach to pressure, designed to feel as solid as it performs.
Designed to Move Production Forward.
Because production should never stand still.Astra X2 was engineered around one idea: eliminate the pause.
Dual independent platens keep your workflow in motion while delivering the precision modern DTF demands.
