Nowadays, digital printing industry has set off a frenzy of direct-to-film(DTF) printing. DTF printer is very popular in the market now. Sublistar recently launched a new technology – UV DTF printing. The biggest advantage of this new technology is that after printing, it can be directly attached to the substrate to be transferred without other processing.
The new technology requires a UV flatbed printer(Sublistar DTF 6090 UV Flatbed Printer) and two kinds of films- direct transfer film and PET film. The printing ink is UV hard ink (C/M/Y/K+W). direct transfer film has a special glue to allow the ink to adhere.
Hard material substrates such as glass, wood, metal, plastic, etc.
1.Print the pattern on the direct transfer film first, and print in the order of white ink, color ink, and varnish.
2.After printing, put the PET film on the direct transfer film. It is recommended to use a laminating machine to press it. Of course, it can also be operated manually.
3.Cut out the desired pattern and paste it on the material to be pasted.
4.Press the pattern repeatedly, slowly tear open the film, finished.
Compared with DTF printing, DTF requires a DTF printer, a shake powder machine and a heat press. UV DTF requires a UV flatbed printer and a laminating machine. DTF is mainly used for the transfer of fabrics, the new technology is mainly used for the transfer of hard materials.
