UV DTF Printer

Unlike UV printing machines, UV DTF printer (also known as UV DTF transfers) doesn’t directly print on object surfaces, it prints on film first and get the inks dried by UV lights. Then an extra laminator will be needed to laminate and transfer the printing to make a final crystal sticker.
Like UV printer, UV DTF printer can be a printer on wood, metal, acrylic and so forth materials, and even with a wider application - UV DTF printing can also be patched on beveled or irregular surfaces.
Procolored provides UV DTF printers of diverse sizes and same high standard, and among them VF13 Pro Panda will be the most recommended - it combines and processes printing and laminating functions together, no need for an extra laminator.

UV DTF Technology

As the name itself shows, UV DTF printer combines the functions of UV printer and DTF printer (Direct to Film printer) together.

Like DTF printing, UV DTF printing first prints out graphics on films. Unlike DTF printing, UV DTF printing normally needs more extra essentials - two films: base film and backing film ; UV light, to cure color inks and varnish ink ; laminator, to laminate two films together. And UV DTF printer can not be applied on fabrics - for recommendations for printing on fabrics, please move to: A3 DTF printer, best DTF printer.

UV DTF printing is commonly used in sticker making industry. It produces crystal stickers that can be applied on most flat or curved substrates. The final finished stickers tend to be durable and widely used in customized decoration, promotional products, signage, labeling and many other creative fields.

Application

Applicable surface: UV DTF stickers can be applied on different types of rigid surfaces, including electronic devices, vehicle parts, wooden products, metal items, glass or cardboard surfaces and so on. However, they are not suitable for any type of fabric. These stickers are durable and chemical resistant but also removable if you regret the appliance - just use a knife to scratch it off.

UV DTF Printng Procedures:

  • UV DTF printer first prints on base film using UV-curable inks and varnish inks.
  • The inks will be cured via UV lights built in the printer.
  • Use a laminator to laminate the base film and backing film together.
  • Get the printing part you need, peel off the base film and patch the printing onto substrates.
  • Give the printing some pressing and then peel off the backing film.
