Anker aims to offer professional printing capabilities in a home environment with its new Anker fabric printer introduced at IFA 2026. Designed for personal use, this device allows users to easily transfer their own designs onto products such as t-shirts and bags.

The printer, which does not yet have an official name or price tag, is planned to be released in the first quarter of 2026. Anker states that this new product delivers balanced results on both light and dark colored fabrics.

A New Era in Fabric Printing

The new device supports the widely used Direct-to-Garment (DTG) and Direct-to-Film (DTF) standards in the printing world, offering a wide range of applications. Thanks to this technology, ink can be applied directly to the fabric as well as transferred via special films. The flexibility offered by the device allows users to incorporate various special effects cinematic elements into their designs. Anker states that professional clothing customization processes were previously limited to expensive industrial machines, but with this new printer, they are bringing this technology to the desktop.

From a design perspective, the device appears to be quite compact. The printer, which fits comfortably on a table in press images, has a volume similar to a typical consumer-type 3D printer. The large control panel located on the top of the device helps users easily manage print settings. Anker is positioning this product especially for content creators, small business owners, or creative individuals who want to earn extra income. This allows users to produce their own branded works at home instead of sending their designs to a third-party printing service.

The company is also making a strategic change with this new product. Anker has announced that it is retiring the eufyMake brand and will market all its products under a single umbrella, the Anker name. This move is seen as an effort to simplify the brand’s product range and create a more balanced identity for consumers.

Update for UV Printer E1

In addition to its new fabric printer, Anker also announced a significant update for the UV Printer E1 model, which garnered significant crowdfunding attention last year. This device, capable of ultraviolet fabric printing, is now even more capable with the released wireless update. The update adds duplex printing support to the printer while also increasing print speeds. Existing users can benefit from these improvements without any additional cost. The company stated that more technical details and pricing information will be shared in the future, along with this information shared at IFA 2026.
