Technical Specifications | UV Digital Transfer
This UV digital transfer process targets repeatable results across mixed material lots. Minimum reproducible detail is 0.1mm with 600dpi artwork, and durability is validated at ≥ Grade 4 wash fastness and ≥ Grade 4-5 rub fastness under controlled evaluation. For color-sensitive applications, a practical check is ΔE* drift after accelerated laundering.

Process Steps
Step-by-step guide for optimal UV digital transfer results
1. File Preprocessing
Prepare a high-resolution design file. No additional white ink channel setup or preprocessing is required. Note: Ensure design files are at least 600dpi for optimal results.
2. UV Printing
Use a UV printer to directly print the pattern onto a flexible positioning film. Important: Use compatible UV inks for best adhesion and color vibrancy.
3. UV Curing
Irradiate with a UV lamp to instantly cure the ink on the film surface, eliminating the need for powder shaking or drying steps. Warning: Use proper safety equipment when working with UV lamps.
4. Heat Press Transfer
Attach the printed film to the surface of the substrate, then heat press at 150°C, with medium pressure, for 10-12 seconds. Note: Adjust pressure based on substrate thickness for optimal adhesion.
5. Film Removal & Completion
After heat pressing, tear off the positioning film while it is still hot. The pattern will then adhere firmly to the material surface. Important: Peel the film at a 45-degree angle for clean removal.
