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, 머그잔, 토트백, or phone cases, choosing the right printer makes all the difference.
At 신플라잉, we specialize in high-performance printing solutions. 이 가이드에서는, 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
| 프린터 유형 | Best For | 재료 호환성 | Printing Principle | Advantages | 제한사항 |
| DTF (영화로 직접) | 의복, canvas bags, 신발 | 면, 폴리에스테르, 나일론, 블렌드 | Prints on PET film → hot melt powder → heat press transfer | Multi-fabric support, 밝은 색상, 튼튼한 | Requires powder and heat press |
| UV 프린터 | Hard or soft flat materials | 아크릴, 목재, 유리, 금속, 플라스틱 | UV-cured ink solidified by UV light | 3D texture, 방수복, instant curing | High cost, more maintenance |
| DTG (의복으로 직접) | Cotton garments | Cotton or high-cotton blends | Ink sprayed directly onto fabric fibers | Soft feel, 좋은 세부 사항, full color | Best for cotton only |
| 승화 프린터 | Polyester apparel, 머그잔, 금속 패널 | Polyester or coated blanks | Ink sublimates into polyester material under heat | Low cost, 생생한 색상, 튼튼한 | 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, 유리, 그리고 금속.
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.
