Anker Reveals Desktop Fabric Printer at IFA 2026: Free Speed Boost for E1 Owners

AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication

At IFA Berlin, Anker Innovations unveiled a desktop fabric printer that merges Direct‑to‑Garment and Direct‑to‑Film technologies, targeting the long‑standing limitation of its EufyMake E1 UV printer, which cannot print on cloth. The prototype, displayed at Hall 2.2, Stand 101, will launch commercially in Q1 2027. Simultaneously, Anker released a free over‑the‑air update for existing E1 owners that doubles print speed by firing ink on both forward and return passes. The company also announced a brand consolidation, retiring its five sub‑brands and unifying all products under the Anker name.

💡 Why It Matters

  • · The free speed upgrade instantly boosts productivity for current E1 users, while the new fabric printer could democratize garment printing, a market previously dominated by costly industrial systems.
