Recently, many customers eonder what is the difference between DTF and UV DTF. Today TODOjet will answer this question:
1.DTF printer is mainly used for transfer of fabrics such as denim, cotton,polyester, canvas, silk. UV DTF is a new technology to expand normal UV printer application on hard irregular objects like wood/metal/glass/ceramic/acrylic bottles/lighters/pens/pencils etc.
2.DTF requires a DTF printer, a shake powder machine and a heat press. UV DTF requires a UV flatbed printer and a laminating machine. It is not direct printing on materials as normal UV flatbed printer. It is film printing first then transferring onto materials. No need pre-coating and irregular objects are ok.
