UV DTF printers at Imprint Solution range from about ₹4.75 lakh to ₹9.5 lakh, mainly Fedar 12-inch and 24-inch models. UV DTF prints onto an A/B transfer film that applies to hard surfaces, so these machines cost more than standard garment DTF printers.

Standard DTF transfers designs onto fabric using heat and powder. UV DTF cures ink with UV light onto a film that sticks to hard surfaces — bottles, mugs, phone cases, wood — with no heat press needed. Choose UV DTF for rigid products, standard DTF for garments.

UV DTF works on hard, non-porous surfaces: glass, metal, ceramic, acrylic, wood, leather and most plastics. It is not designed for fabric or stretchable garments, which need standard DTF. This makes UV DTF suited to gifting, branding and product-personalisation businesses.

No. UV DTF transfers are applied by hand — peel the A film, press the design onto the object, then remove the B film. No heat press or curing oven is required, which lowers the equipment cost of starting a UV DTF business compared with garment DTF.
