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, マグカップ, トートバッグ, or phone cases, choosing the right printer makes all the difference.
At シンフライング, we specialize in high-performance printing solutions. このガイドでは, we’ll explore the four most popular printing technologies — DTF, 紫外線, DTG, and Sublimation printers — including how they work, how to maintain them, and how to extend their lifespan.
Understanding the Four Printing Technologies
| プリンターの種類 | Best For | 材料の互換性 | Printing Principle | 利点 | 制限 |
| DTF (フィルムにダイレクト) | 衣服, キャンバスバッグ, 靴 | コットン, ポリエステル, ナイロン, ブレンドする | Prints on PET film → hot melt powder → heat press transfer | Multi-fabric support, 明るい色, 耐久性のある | Requires powder and heat press |
| UVプリンター | Hard or soft flat materials | アクリル, 木材, ガラス, 金属, プラスチック | UV-cured ink solidified by UV light | 3D texture, 防水, instant curing | High cost, more maintenance |
| DTG (衣服に直接) | Cotton garments | Cotton or high-cotton blends | Ink sprayed directly onto fabric fibers | Soft feel, 細かい部分, full color | Best for cotton only |
| 昇華プリンター | Polyester apparel, マグカップ, 金属パネル | Polyester or coated blanks | Ink sublimates into polyester material under heat | Low cost, 鮮やかな色, 耐久性のある | 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, ガラス, そして金属.
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.
