UNINET has added in some of the newest technology to the DTF industry with the all new UV DTF 3000 direct to film printer. This is a 17 inch wide roll fed design that produces durable and intense color UV prints. Built utilizing robust and reliable professional enhanced printheads, it was designed from the ground up as a UV DTF printing solution. The application is unlike the typical DTF garment industry market, and allows for printing on a variety of hard substrates, including metal, wood, plastic, paper products, glass, ceramic and so much more.
UV DTF print technology prints directly onto UV DTF sheets instead of printing directly to hard objects, as seen with traditional UV printing. UV DTF prints were intended for irregularly shaped substrates that traditional UV printing does not support. Being able to print multiple durable prints on a gang sheet to then simply peel and transfer your 'stickers' to your hard substrate. Great for irregular materials, curved materials, and ultra-tall or very large materials, that otherwise may not be possible to print onto directly.
This UNINET UV DTF 3000 is turnkey ready, ALL-IN-ONE print and laminate UV printing solution. The printing and laminating are done automatically, resulting in peel and apply ready decals to decorate an amazing array of products.

*NOTE: This equipment requires a well-ventilated area with a filtration system. When working with UVDTF products and processes, use protective gear since fumes might be harmful. UVDTF inks and film/sheets need an adequate humidity environment - above 50% - 65% humidity is strongly advised to reduce the possibility of ink clogs and film buckling. |
Popular Applications:
- Variety of hard substrates, including metal, wood, plastic, paper products, glass, ceramic and so much more
- Simply print onto UVDTF transfer sheets and transfer “stickers” to substrate
- All in one print and laminate solution
- Prints are water resistant, heat resistant, wear and scratch resistant
- Irregular shaped hard substrates that are difficult to print on directly
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.
Please Note: As with other types of printers regular cleaning maintenance is essential. Failing to perform regular maintenance can result in costly printer repairs. Performing cleanings at the end of each day is essential, especially for the capping station as it prevents a thin film of ink from forming which can inhibit proper capping. Using the recommended cleaning solution and cleaning swabs to perform these tasks will help maintain a healthy printer. Regular maintenance should be performed on a daily basis to ensure printer output doesn’t diminish.
