Information

      From ordinary kids' tees to eye-catching custom apparel in minutes. We wanted to create three fun, bold kids' t-shirts that looked like they came straight off a retail shelf, but were made entirely using the xTool Halftone Maker and xTool Apparel Printer. Instead of using complicated design software, we transformed simple graphics into crisp halftone artwork with just a few clicks. The result? Lightweight, breathable prints with a timeless retro feel that pop on bright coloured shirts. From dinosaurs to supercars to beach vibes, this project shows how fast and easy it is to turn almost any design into professional-quality apparel.

Step1: Choose the Designs

We asked xTool AI Generator to create three designs that kids love:

  • Dinosaur
  • Sports Car
  • Beach Sunset

Simple artwork works perfectly with the Halftone Maker because it enhances the contrast and creates incredible depth.

Step2: Create the Halftone Effect

Using the Halftone Maker in Atomm/xTool Studio, we:

  • Uploaded each design
  • Selected the halftone style including knockout 
  • Reduced the dot size down to 3 pixels 
  • Made it the exact size we wanted to print the image (make sure you dont resize the image after generating it)
  • Exported the finished artwork
  • Then added it to xTool Studio 
  • Added a circle to the image and masked it to slice/crop the image into a circle shape.
  • We reduced the white ink reduction to 0.2 as well, 100% colour and 75% white.

What used to take ages in professional design software now took just minutes.

The artwork was printed using our xTool Apparel Printer, producing sharp, vibrant white prints with amazing detail.

The halftone effect not only looks fantastic, it also creates a softer, lighter print that's perfect for comfortable kids' clothing.

Step4: Heat Press

Once printed, we pressed each design onto bright coloured children's t-shirts.

The white halftone graphics really stand out against the bold colours while keeping that clean, vintage aesthetic.

Tip - We love using a piece of canvas to do the final press - it gives the prints a really soft natural feel!
