In today’s fast-growing custom printing industry, digital printing technology is reshaping how we create personalized products. Whether you’re printing on T-shirts, bögrék, táskák, or phone cases, choosing the right printer makes all the difference.
At Xinflying, we specialize in high-performance printing solutions. Ebben az útmutatóban, we’ll explore the four most popular printing technologies — DTF, UV, DTG, and Sublimation printers — including how they work, how to maintain them, and how to extend their lifespan.
Understanding the Four Printing Technologies
| Nyomtató típusa | Best For | Anyagkompatibilitás | Printing Principle | Előnyök | Korlátozások |
| DTF (Közvetlenül a filmre) | Ruházat, vászon táskák, cipő | Pamut, poliészter, nejlon, keverékek | Prints on PET film → hot melt powder → heat press transfer | Multi-fabric support, Élénk színek, tartós | Requires powder and heat press |
| UV nyomtató | Hard or soft flat materials | Akril, faipari, üveg, fém, műanyag | UV-cured ink solidified by UV light | 3D texture, vízálló, instant curing | High cost, more maintenance |
| DTG (Közvetlenül a ruhadarabhoz) | Cotton garments | Cotton or high-cotton blends | Ink sprayed directly onto fabric fibers | Soft feel, Finom részletek, full color | Best for cotton only |
| Szublimációs nyomtató | Polyester apparel, bögrék, fémpanelek | Polyester or coated blanks | Ink sublimates into polyester material under heat | Low cost, élénk színek, tartós | Limited to polyester or coated surfaces |
How Each Printer Works
DTF Printing Process:
Print → Apply adhesive powder → Cure → Heat press onto garment → Peel film.
Perfect for both light and dark fabrics.
UV Printing Process:
Ink is instantly cured by ultraviolet light during printing, producing raised and durable finishes.
Ideal for hard materials like acrylic, üveg, és fém.
DTG Printing Process:
The printer sprays textile ink directly onto the garment, blending naturally into the fabric fibers.
White ink and pretreatment are used for dark shirts.
Sublimation Printing Process:
Prints on sublimation paper first, then heat-presses the design into polyester materials, allowing ink to fuse at the molecular level.
