UV DTF printer (Ultraviolet Direct To Film printer) is an upgraded version of DTF printer that combines UV curing technology. This type of printer uses UV oil-based ink. During the printing process, the ink is quickly dried and fixed on the PET film through the built-in UV violet light, eliminating the traditional DTF process step of powder curing.
The characteristics and advantages of UV DTF printers include:
1. Rapid curing: Due to the use of UV curing technology, ink can be immediately cured by UV light while printing, greatly improving production efficiency and processing speed.
2. Environmental Protection and Safety: Compared to traditional DTF printing processes, UV curing does not require hot melt powder, which may reduce dust pollution and operational safety hazards.
3. Wider material adaptability: UV ink usually has better adhesion and durability, suitable for a wider variety of products, especially hard surfaces, such as metal plates, glass, acrylic, plastic and other hard signs and decorations.
4. High precision and color performance: UV printers can provide high resolution and rich color levels, ensuring excellent output image quality and meeting industrial grade printing standards.
5. Rapid prototyping without plate making: Just like regular DTF printers, UV DTF printers also support full-color digital printing without plate making, which is particularly suitable for small batch personalized customization or rapid sample making needs.
In summary, UV DTF printers are an innovative product in the field of digital printing. They combine UV curing technology with DTF transfer printing technology, providing a more efficient, environmentally friendly, and versatile printing solution.
