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, cốc, túi tote, or phone cases, choosing the right printer makes all the difference.
At Xinflying, we specialize in high-performance printing solutions. Trong hướng dẫn này, we’ll explore the four most popular printing technologies — DTF, tia cực tím, DTG, and Sublimation printers — including how they work, how to maintain them, and how to extend their lifespan.
Understanding the Four Printing Technologies
| Loại máy in | Best For | Khả năng tương thích vật liệu | Printing Principle | Thuận lợi | Hạn chế |
| DTF (Trực tiếp tới phim) | Trang phục, canvas bags, đôi giày | Bông, polyester, nylon, pha trộn | Prints on PET film → hot melt powder → heat press transfer | Multi-fabric support, bright colors, bền chặt | Requires powder and heat press |
| Máy in UV | Hard or soft flat materials | Acrylic, gỗ, thủy tinh, kim loại, nhựa | UV-cured ink solidified by UV light | 3D texture, không thấm nước, instant curing | High cost, more maintenance |
| DTG (Trực tiếp đến may mặc) | Cotton garments | Cotton or high-cotton blends | Ink sprayed directly onto fabric fibers | Soft feel, chi tiết đẹp, full color | Best for cotton only |
| Máy in thăng hoa | Polyester apparel, cốc, tấm kim loại | Polyester or coated blanks | Ink sublimates into polyester material under heat | Low cost, màu sắc rực rỡ, bền chặt | 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, thủy tinh, and metal.
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.
Quá trình in thăng hoa:
Prints on sublimation paper first, then heat-presses the design into polyester materials, allowing ink to fuse at the molecular level.
