Your questions about DTF UV – Complete guide and printing service | Créadhésif
At Créadhésif, discover DTF UV (Direct To Film UV), the modern solution for personalizing your objects and solid surfaces. Like traditional DTF, your designs are printed onto a film, but UV technology now allows you to mark metal, wood, PVC, glass, ceramic, leather, cardboard, silicone… almost any surface, with a vibrant, precise, and long-lasting finish.
DTF UV printing is a process that uses UV inks to transfer your designs directly onto a film. It guarantees precise personalization, with vibrant colors and sharp details, and can be used to print on almost any solid surface, unlike traditional DTF which is limited to textiles.
UV-cured inks ensure markings resistant to moderate abrasion, with intense colors that won't fade. Ideal for small to medium print runs, your prints remain durable and attractive, even after multiple uses.
