UV DTF Printing

 

DTF UV printing is a variant of DTF printing and is the right solution for those looking for a bright and sharp result on rigid surfaces.

How does it work?

The digital graphics are printed by a UV printer on a special transparent adhesive film. Once the adhesive is obtained, it is peeled off and manually applied to the desired area. To increase the adhesion, the adhesive is pressed firmly on every part or a tool such as a roller or a spatula is used. At that point the protective film is removed and a shiny final result is obtained, slightly in relief.

Some examples of application on items

UV DTF printing is very versatile and applicable to rigid materials such as wood, metal, glass and ceramics, and to synthetic fabrics and cotton.
