DTG UV Printer
🔄 What is a DTG UV Printer?
A DTG UV Printer combines the core technologies of Direct-to-Garment (DTG) and UV printing, offering unmatched flexibility to print on both textile surfaces and rigid materials. While traditional DTG printers are used for printing on cotton t-shirts, and UV printers for printing on wood, glass, or acrylic—this hybrid system aims to handle both.
🎯 Key Advantage: One machine, two printing capabilities—soft fabrics and hard surfaces.
🖨️ How Does a DTG UV Printer Work?
-
DTG Mode: Uses pigment inks to print directly on cotton, blends, and other garments. Requires heat curing.
-
UV Mode: Uses UV-curable ink to print on surfaces like metal, glass, acrylic, wood, leather, etc. Uses UV LED curing lamps for instant drying.
Some printers come with dual ink systems, while others require a manual swap between ink lines (textile vs UV).
