What Is A UV DTF Printer?

UV DTF printer is the product of the combination of traditional printing and computer digital, which overcomes the disadvantages of traditional printing. Such as small batches, quickly finished products, bright and complex colors, cumbersome process links, environmental protection, and other issues. UV DTF printer is a printer suitable for printing and engraving on the surface of various handicrafts.

Mass production:

The operation of the UV DTF printer is simple, without plate making, plate printing, color registration, etc., The experience requirements for operators are also low, as long as they know simple photo processing software such as PS. The UV DTF printer can reduce the process and deliver fast. It can save labor and reduce errors. The printing speed is fast, and it can meet the requirements of mass orders.

Simple process:

The emergence of UV crystal label printers has completely solved the small batch customization in the advertising industry. It only needs a crystal label printer, using an Epson nozzle, and UV crystal label special ink. First, spray white as a primer. Then spray color, and then form a finished product after transfer printing on the B-side composite film. The whole process is formed by the printer and then pasted on the items you want to customize. It is simple and convenient, and the traditional process of making the film and canceling the screen.

Moreover, the end customer does not need to transport the real product to the factory for UV DTF printing. But only needs to express the prepared crystal label to the user. After the user gets the crystal label, you can stick as much as he needs. So that the same-day shipment can be realized. In the factory or e-commerce warehouse, only the main product needs to be prepared. And the reduced inventory also reduces the loss and inventory waste during transportation.

Wide range of applications:

The UV flatbed printer is compatible with different industries and different materials. As long as it is flat, it can print without causing damage to the material. It caters to the diversified needs of the market and can better provide users with more comprehensive production services. Rich optional materials, such as glass, metal, ceramics, plastic, wood, crystal, leather, slate, cloth, aluminum-plastic board, silicone, PVC, PET, PC, PU, ​​PM MA, etc. The difficulty of the crystal label is not the equipment, but the stable process.

However, using a UV flatbed printer to produce graphics on crystal labels has obvious advantages over silk screen printing and transfer printing in terms of labor, environmental protection, and personalization. But the crystal label is not a panacea. For some edible contact products such as tableware and hot water cups, the surface is too rough, and cloth, clothes, soft leather, etc. are not suitable. The emergence of crystal labels may threaten UV flatbed printers, it’s not objective. This is still unreliable. As far as the current technological level and the actual needs of customers are concerned, mass production of crystal labels is still not suitable.

In addition, since labeling relies on manual work, there are errors in labeling and positioning. So it is not suitable for products that have strict consistency standards. Regardless of the printing and production process, the crystal label is more like an art decoration.

Color transition:

Some product patterns require color transitions, such as signage, handicrafts, gifts, etc. But traditional printing methods cannot achieve all color transitions, which will result in clear color boundaries. The UV DTF printer has high precision, and the definition of 2880dpi is comparable to the photos’ quality, so the color expression can be changed. UV DTF printer environmentally friendly inks are bright, and the outdoor anti-ultraviolet rays will not fade for at least 5 years.

 UV DTF printing scheme:

Customization in the advertising industry generally adopts traditional screen printing or UV flatbed machine production. Which requires prototype proofing and reproduction, we require mass production. However, small-volume customization is relatively difficult, so small-volume products will share the cost of the board. On the other hand, the unit price of small batch production becomes particularly high. UV printer breaks through the bottleneck brought by traditional printing, perfectly meets the actual needs of users, and finds new profit points for customers. With the rise of personalized demand in all walks of life, high-efficiency, green and energy-saving UV color printing machines will occupy a dominant position in the future market.
