What is UV DTF?

UV DTF (Direct-to-Film) Printing is an innovative printing process that utilizes a UV printer to print directly to film without the need for ink or toner. UV Dtfs are permanent and do NOT require heat. They can be simply peeled off their carrier sheet and applied to any hard surface such as glass, wood, metal and plastic. Best of all they are waterproof!!

The new technology requires a UV flatbed printer and two kinds of films- direct transfer film and PET film. The printing ink is UV hard ink (C/M/Y/K+W). Direct transfer film has a special glue to allow the ink to adhere.

What materials can be transferred on?

Hard material substrates such as glass, wood, metal, plastic, etc.

 

The printing process of UV DTF printing:

1.Print the pattern on the direct transfer film first, and print in the order of white ink, color ink, and varnish. 2.After printing, put the PET film on the direct transfer film. It is recommended to use a laminating machine to press it. Of course, it can also be operated manually. 3.Cut out the desired pattern and paste it on the material to be pasted. 4.Press the pattern repeatedly, slowly tear open the film, finished.
