How Does UV DTF Transfer Printer Work?

What is a UV DTF printer? UV DTF is a new crystal-label printing method.

First, glue, white ink, colored ink, and varnish are printed on special release paper (A film). They are printed layer by layer to form patterns, trademarks, etc.

Then, cover it with transfer film. Use film (B film) to adjust the pattern and put it on the object's surface.

UV DTF transfer prints a new self-adhesive label. The label has a skeletonized, 3D feel.

Benefits of UV DTF Transfer Printer

1. Crystal labels with UV printing. They resist water, alkalis, abrasion, tears, corrosion, and sunlight. They also resist oxidation. They have excellent performance and a 3D look. They make products feel better. They are better than waterproof, coated, and aluminized paper labels.
2. The starting quantity is unlimited. Only one printing is needed, and no plates or waste removal is needed. It can be pasted on curved surfaces, cylinders, or planes. This reduces the cost of customization.
3. The range of applications is particularly broad. It contains household goods, tourism, leisure, office and education, electronics, toys and gifts, etc.
4. Regarding printing crystal labels, UVDTF uses roll materials well. It does this more efficiently than UV flatbed machines.
