UV printing prints directly onto the surface of the product, while UV DTF printing first prints the design onto a transfer film and then applies it to the final product. UV DTF is more flexible for curved, irregular, or hard-to-place objects.
UV DTF transfers can be applied to many smooth surfaces, such as glass, acrylic, metal, plastic, ceramic, leather, wood, packaging boxes, bottles, cups, and more. The final adhesion may vary depending on the material surface and application conditions.
