Common Questions
- UV DTF uses UV-cured acrylate ink on a cold-peel adhesive film designed for rigid, non-porous surfaces. Standard DTF uses pigment ink with polyamide hot melt powder for fabric application via heat press. UV DTF does not require heat. The transfer peels onto the substrate with firm hand pressure or a roller.
- Glass, ceramic, stainless steel, anodized aluminum, acrylic, polycarbonate, hard plastics, sealed wood, leather, and leatherette. It does not bond to silicone, untreated polyethylene, polypropylene, or other low-surface-energy plastics without surface preparation. Test unfamiliar substrates before a production run.
- No. UV DTF is designed for rigid, non-porous substrates only. The acrylate film is too brittle to flex with fabric and will crack after wash cycles. For apparel decoration use standard DTF or one of our apparel-grade UV products like raised UV patches or fauxbroidery.
- Yes. UV-cured acrylate is a hard, chemically resistant plastic. UV DTF tumbler and drinkware applications are top-rack dishwasher safe when applied correctly to a clean, room-temperature substrate with firm pressure across the full transfer area. Hand washing extends the life of the bond.
- No for most applications. The transfer peels onto rigid substrates with firm hand pressure or a roller. Some applications benefit from a brief heat assist at low temperature, around 180 to 200 F, to accelerate full bond, but the bond fully cures over 24 to 48 hours at room temperature without heat.
- UV DTF carries a $35 minimum to cover press setup costs that are higher than standard DTF. The UV cure system requires longer color calibration and surface preparation steps per job. Above the $35 minimum, the flat $0.10 per square inch rate applies without volume tiers.
