DTF UV

What is UV DTF printing and how does it work?

UV DTF (Direct to Film UV) printing is an innovative technique that allows transferring designs onto multiple surfaces (glass, metal, wood, plastic, leather, etc.) using UV inks and ultraviolet light curing, without the need for heat.

FILM DTF UV GOLD

0.30X50m
PRESENTATION
0.30 x 50 meters
- FILM A (PRINTING FILM)
  It is the film on which the design is printed using UV DTF inks.
  It features a special coating that improves ink adhesion, preventing smudging or spreading.
  Withstands the temperature of UV curing.
- FILM B (ADHESIVE FILM)
  It is a transparent adhesive sheet coated with pressure-sensitive glue.
  It is applied over Film A once printed, forming the A+B set.
  Its function is to transfer the entire design to the final product (glass, metal, plastic, wood, leather, etc.).

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How is the design created for DTF UV?

The design is created in graphic software such as Photoshop or Illustrator, prepared in high resolution and ready to be printed on rigid surfaces like glass, metal, plastic, or wood.

2. What type of printing does the DTF UV technique use?

It is printed on a special PET film using a UV DTF printer with UV inks. In some cases, UV varnishes or adhesives are also added to give it volume or a 3D effect.

3. What does it mean that the ink is cured with UV light?

This means that the ink dries and hardens instantly with ultraviolet light, making it resistant to abrasion and ready to be transferred without the need for drying time or heat.

4. How is the design transferred to different surfaces?

The cured design is transferred using pressure or adhesive onto surfaces such as glass, metal, wood, leather, or plastic, without using heat, making it ideal for sensitive materials.
