What Is a UV DTF Printer?
Put simply, a UV DTF printer is a machine that lets you print graphic designs in the form of laminated stickers to apply to a vast range of products and objects. It uses industry-grade UV ink to ensure optimal color saturation that lasts.
The idea behind this form of UV printing is to remove the limitations that come with other solutions. Instead of being restricted to certain shapes, sizes, and surfaces- you have free reign to create crystal stickers for application onto just about anything.
How Does It Work?
There are two styles to choose from- each with a slightly different printing process.
The first option is the UV printer and lamination machine bundle.
- Create your design using your choice of graphic or RIP software.
- Print your design onto the A film.
- Transfer the A film to the B film using the lamination machine (this creates the sticker).
- Apply the sticker to your object.
Alternatively, you can buy a 2-in-1 model that combines these components.
- Create your design using your choice of graphic or RIP software.
- Print your design using the machine (it automatically creates the sticker through the built-in laminator).
- Apply the sticker to your object.
Option two is the faster and simpler way of doing things- but it is also the most expensive upfront investment when buying the printer.
Why Choose UV DTF Printers for Your Graphic Designs?
You need a UV DTF printer if you want the freedom to create flawless, bold, and vibrant designs for products that don't fit into a printing tray. UV DTF stickers are versatile and durable, and the UV ink sets them apart with stunning visuals, strong colors, and intricate details.

How is a UV DTF Printer Different from a DTF Printer?
There are many differences between these machines- not least of all the printing process and purpose. UV DTF printers create stickers designed for use on plastic, wood, metal, glass, ceramic, and a range of other hard surfaces. DTF printers create design films that can be heat transferred onto many different fabrics. A UV DTF printer is best for versatile printing onto hard objects, but you should explore other DTF ULTRA printers if your business requires a machine specifically for fabric printing.
