UV DTF printing is revolutionizing the decoration industry by combining the high-definition image quality of UV printing with the flexibility, durability, and easy application of DTF technology. This innovative method allows users to apply vibrant designs onto various surfaces — all with just your hands, without the need for heat presses or complex equipment.

In this guide, we will break down everything you must know about UV DTF films, including the types available and how AGP provides complete solutions for your needs.

What is UV DTF Printing?

The UV DTF printing process involves printing on a special adhesive-coated film (Film A) using a UV printer. After printing and UV exposure, Film A is laminated with a positioning film (Film B) through heat lamination. The printed design is then transferred directly onto the target surface by simply pressing it with fingers. No additional tools are necessary — making it easy, fast, and highly efficient.

TODOjet’s UV DTF printers even integrate the printer and laminator, saving you space, reducing costs, and improving your production efficiency.

Understanding UV DTF Film: Film A and Film B

• Film A: The printable film with a special adhesive coating. It receives the white ink, color ink, and varnish in sequence.

• Film B: The positioning film (similar to transfer tape) that helps transfer the design onto surfaces.

Before printing, the protective layer on Film A must be removed, and the sticky side faces upward during printing. After printing and laminating, Film A is peeled off, and Film B helps apply the design seamlessly.
