UV DTF Printers - Print Vibrant Transfers for Hard Surfaces

A UV DTF printer produces peel and stick transfers that bond to hard surfaces without heat. You print the design onto film, laminate it, peel it, and press it onto a tumbler, bottle, phone case, or glass panel by hand. Because the transfer flexes, it wraps curved and irregular shapes that a flatbed printer can't hold flat.

How UV DTF differs from UV flatbed and standard DTF

A UV flatbed printer prints straight onto an item resting on the bed, which works well for flat rigid goods. UV DTF prints onto film first, so shape stops mattering and you can batch transfers ahead of orders. Standard DTF uses adhesive powder and a heat press to decorate fabric. UV DTF uses neither heat nor powder and targets hard surfaces instead.

Systems we stock

DTF Station Aries printers come in 113, 124, and 213 configurations with lamination built in, so printing and laminating happen in one pass rather than on separate equipment. The Mimaki UJV300DTF-75 runs roll to roll for higher volume. Both print CMYK plus white and varnish, which is what makes the transfers opaque on dark and clear substrates.
