UV DTF PRINTERS

UV DTF printers represent one of the most modern digital printing technologies for heat-transfer printing, offering high resolution, embossed (3D) texture, and exceptional durability. The printing of each design is carried out on special heat-transfer film, creating ready-to-use 3D transfers, which are applied to surfaces or fabrics depending on the application and the corresponding consumables.

What is UV DTF technology?

UV DTF (UltraViolet Direct to Film) technology is a printing method in which the desired design is printed on special film using UV inks, which are simultaneously cured with a UV lamp, and then transferred to the application surface (object or fabric) with the help of transfer film (and a heat press when needed). More specifically, the process, in simple steps, includes:

  • Printing the design on film (A-film) with UV inks
  • Immediate curing of the design using UV light
  • Lamination with auxiliary (adhesive) film (B-film)
  • Transfer of the design onto an object or fabric

The technology functions as a high-durability and high-precision transfer method, without loss of detail.

How the production of 3D transferable prints works

UV DTF printers create multiple layers of ink (CMYK, white, varnish, etc.), thereby forming an embossed 3D print with visible texture and depth. The result produced by this printing method is characterized by:

  • Embossed / 3D surface
  • High sharpness and detail
  • Hardening due to UV light
  • Ready transfer, without waiting time for drying
  • Wear-resistant print

Where UV DTF transfers are applied

The technology allows transfer onto a wide variety of materials and objects, even on curved or non-flat surfaces. It should be noted that depending on the application, the user must use the appropriate consumables, particularly regarding the distinction between fabrics and objects. Indicative applications:

  • Fabrics (use of a heat press is required for successful heat transfer)
  • Plastics and acrylics
  • Metal and glass
  • Ceramics and wood
  • Decorative and promotional items

UV DTF transfers can be applied to smooth and non-porous surfaces with excellent adhesion and durability.

UV DTF inks

UV DTF printers use special UV-curable inks:

  • CMYK
  • White
  • Varnish (Gloss / Texture)
  • Spot or special colors

Why choose a UV DTF printer

UV DTF technology is an ideal solution for industry professionals seeking:

  • Premium 3D transfers
  • Production without limitations regarding application surfaces
  • High print durability
  • Fast and efficient production
  • Impressive results with added product value
