What are UV Printers?

UV printers use Ultra Violet light to quickly set ink onto a huge variety of materials and surfaces. The ink and the light together set off a polymerisation process, which results in an extremely durable, long-lasting, and highly professional finish. UV printers can be used on an almost limitless range of materials, from golf balls and metal gifts, to ID tags and credit cards, and even glass items. 

The Ultra violet light emitted by the printer cures the ink, meaning that it dries to a hard finish virtually instantly. Interestingly, the process was first used by beauty technicians to quickly set gel nail polish during manicures! It wasn’t long before the printing industry realised the incredible benefits of this technology for customising an almost unlimited range of products. 

DTF (Direct to Film) printers are innovative tools in the printing industry, particularly beneficial for those looking to produce vibrant, high-quality prints on various fabric types. These printers operate by first printing a design onto a special film, which is then transferred onto the fabric using a heat press. This process not only ensures vibrant and durable prints but also offers several key advantages:

 

Heat press machines utilises heat and pressure to transfer a design or graphic onto a substrate, such as fabric, ceramic, metal, or other materials. They have become indispensable for businesses looking to create customised products, as they offer a reliable and efficient way to apply full-colour graphics, text, or images onto different surfaces.
