What makes DTF PRO systems so cost effective?
DTF PRO has over a decade of experience manufacturing for other popular brands and distributors. Buying DTF PRO means buying manufacturer direct, without the markups that go into other brands due to marketing and distribution or due to fancy casings that often drive the price unnecessarily up (you could pay over $40,000 for similar systems from other UV printer providers).
This printer is capable UVDTF Printing (owing to its ability to print white ink, color ink and varnish in the same pass). This is because for UVDTF Printing, it is highly recommended to print a layer of varnish on top of the printed colors.
What is UVDTF ® Printing?
UVDTF is a process by which you can use this printer to print to UVDTF sheets. Instead of printing directly to hard objects as you would with UVDIRECT printing (which could be limited in production environments, owing to only being able to print to 1 object at a time, or limited to materials that are not iregularly shaped), you can print insetad with your UV printer to UVDTF® Sheets, 1 image at a time, or multiple images at a time, essentially creating a UV printed sticker sheet (with 1 or multiple images). Then simply peel and transfer your UV "stickers" to your hard objects. Great for irregular materials, curved materials, and ultra-tall or very large materials, that otherwise may not be possible to print directly to).
NOTE: While the UVDTF produced stickers are water-resistant and wear-resistant, they are not as resistant to the elements as direct to substrate UV printing.
