Unlike DTF printing, UV DTF printing normally needs more extra essentials - two films: base film and backing film ; UV light, to cure color inks and varnish ink ; laminator, to laminate two films together.

UV DTF printing is commonly used in sticker making industry. It produces crystal stickers that can be applied on most flat or curved substrates. The final finished stickers tend to be durable and widely used in customized decoration, promotional products, signage, labeling and many other creative fields.

Applicable surface: UV DTF stickers can be applied on different types of rigid surfaces, including electronic devices, vehicle parts, wooden products, metal items, glass or cardboard surfaces and so on. However, they are not suitable for any type of fabric. These stickers are durable and chemical resistant but also removable if you regret the appliance - just use a knife to scratch it off.
