About UV DTF Printer - What you need to know

Today, with the continuous development of science and technology, UV printing technology performs very well. It not only has advantages in traditional fields but also shows its uniqueness in emerging fields. The UV DTF printer prints directly on UV film, achieving extremely high accuracy and consistency, and the image quality is very good. It can not only meet various design needs but also improve production efficiency and bring new changes to many industries.

What is a UV DTF Printer?

UV DTF printers are specially designed for UV DTF printing. Unlike conventional UV flatbed printers that print patterns directly onto a substrate, UV DTF printers utilize UV curing technology to print patterns onto UV films. These patterns can then be transferred to a variety of objects, including hard and irregularly shaped surfaces, by peeling off the film after manual pressure is applied.

This new printing method uses a UV printer to print patterns directly on the uv film, without plate-making and powder shaking. UV DTF printing has significant advantages, such as durability and affordability, compared to traditional printing methods.

What are the steps of UV DTF printing?

1. Pattern printing: first use the UV printer to print the design pattern directly on the UV A Film, generally by the order of white ink, and color ink printing.

2. Film pressing: after the printing is completed, put the UV B Film on the UV A Film printed with the pattern and then use the laminating machine to laminate the film to ensure that the UV A Film has tightly adhered to the surface of the UV B film.

3. Cut the pattern: cut the pressed UV film into the desired pattern shape.

4. Paste: Paste the UV film with the cut pattern on the surface of the material to be printed.

5. Pressing and fixing: Press the pattern repeatedly with your fingers or tools to ensure that the UV film is fully fitted to the surface of the material without leaving empty bubbles.

6. Tear the film: Finally slowly tear the UV film, so that the remaining UV printing pattern is completely fitted on the surface of the material.

The process uses UV DTF printing technology to achieve efficient and accurate printing of patterns on a variety of substrates, suitable for packaging, labels, signage and other applications.

What materials is UV DTF printing suitable for?


UV DTF printing is versatile and can transfer patterns to almost any material available, except flexible fabrics. These materials include metals, leather, wood, paper, plastics, ceramics, and glass. The flexibility of UV DTF printing also extends to irregular and curved surfaces, as the films used can be easily adapted to different shapes.

The resulting prints have excellent durability and bright, clear colors that prevent scratching or fading. Whatever your material, UV DTF printing ensures long-lasting and high-quality results, making it a reliable choice for a variety of applications and industries.

Advantages of UV DTF Printing

1. High definition and fine effect: UV DTF printer uses high precision nozzle, the printing effect is obvious and fine, the pattern text is realistic, and the visual effect is excellent.

2. Wide range of applications: UV DTF printers are suitable for various materials, including plastic, metal, glass, ceramics, etc., and the wide application of crystal UV printers complement each other to meet diverse printing needs.

3. Fast and efficient printing speed: UV DTF printers improve production efficiency with fast printing speed, which is particularly important for enterprises to reduce costs and shorten delivery cycles.

4. The choice of environmental protection and energy saving: UV DTF printer uses environmentally friendly UV ink and ultraviolet curing technology, non-toxic, tasteless, and pollution-free, while reducing energy consumption, to achieve environmental protection and energy saving printing process.

5. Save labor costs: Compared with the traditional screen printing process, UV DTF printer not only improves production efficiency but also saves a lot of labor costs, making the printing process more automated and efficient.

6. Personalized customization advantages: UV DTF printer is outstanding in personalized customization, users can design patterns through PS software, and directly import equipment software for printing, to achieve fast and accurate personalized customized printing.
