The technique

How does DTF UV printing work?

Direct-to-film UV (DTF UV) technology allows the production of permanent adhesive stickers applicable to a very wide range of rigid substrates. The technology is based on two complementary films:

Film A — Impression

The DTF UV printer prints your image onto Film A, which has an adhesive top layer. The UV inks cure instantly under the integrated UV lamps — resulting in a crisp, precise print that's ready to handle immediately after printing.

Film B — Lamination

Film B is laminated onto Film A. The adhesive on Film A only adheres to Film B in the printed areas — creating a sticker perfectly cut to the shape of the image, with no background, ready to be applied cold.

Application on the object

DTF UV transfer is applied cold, without a press or heat. It adheres directly to metal, plastic, wood, glass, ceramic, leather — virtually any smooth and rigid surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ — UV DTF Equipment

What is the difference between DTF textile and DTF UV? +

(DTF ) textile printing uses pigmented inks and a hot-melt powder to transfer designs onto fabric using a heat press (130–160°C). UV DTF uses ultraviolet-cured inks to create a permanent adhesive sticker on A+B film, which can be cold-applied to any smooth, rigid surface. No heat press is required for UV DTF application.

Which printer model should I choose to start with DTF UV printing? +

To get started, we recommend the Epson I1600 30cm dual-head printer (€6,583 excluding VAT) . It offers excellent value for money for small to medium print runs. If your business is focused on high-volume production or if you work with large objects, the I3200 60cm triple-head printer (€12,083 excluding VAT) will be more suitable. Contact us at +33 1 34 33 01 55 for guidance based on your production volume.

Is training included with the purchase of a printer? +

Yes. Our technicians provide training on installation, use, and maintenance, either in our showroom in Ennery (95) or directly in your workshop. Our technical service remains available after purchase for any questions or problems encountered during production.

Can I test DTF UV before investing in a printer? +

Absolutely. Our on-demand UV DTF printing service lets you test the technique without any equipment investment. Send us your file, and we'll print and ship your ready-to-apply transfers.

What is the durability of a DTF UV transfer onto an object? +

Cured UV inks offer excellent resistance to UV rays, scratches, and moisture. On smooth, rigid surfaces (metal, glass, plastic), the durability far surpasses that of simple printing. The ultra-gloss finish remains intact over time. For objects subjected to high mechanical stress, an additional protective varnish is recommended.
