A UV DTF printer prints designs onto a clear film using UV-curable inks and then laminates and transfers the cured print onto various hard or curved surfaces like bottles, mugs, phone cases, wooden items, metal panels, and more.
Unlike traditional DTF for textiles (which requires heat pressing), UV DTF uses UV light to instantly cure the ink, turning it into a durable, self-adhesive decal that can be applied by peeling and sticking—no heat press needed.
Advantages of UV DTF Printing
Versatile substrates – Works on flat and curved rigid materials like ceramic, glass, metal, wood, leather, etc.
Instant curing – UV ink dries instantly under UV light, speeding up production times
High durability – Offers wear-resistant, vibrant prints, with inks containing fewer VOCs—for a more eco-friendly finish
No direct object printing required – Ideal for items that can’t fit in a flatbed or are sensitive to printing heat
Simplified process – Eliminates the need for weeding or masking; finished transfers are applied through peel-and-stick
