What is the difference between uv clothing printer and thermal transfer printing?
Thermal transfer: thermal transfer is to print color patterns on heat-resistant substrates, usually thin film materials, and then transfer the patterns to the product surface through hot stamping combined with special transfer equipment. Therefore, this printer technology is called "thermal transfer". Thermal transfer printing can only be used with supporting products such as thermal transfer printing machine, baking tray machine and baking cup machine, and different products need to go through corresponding technological treatment.

UV printing: UV printing directly prints the desired pattern on the product surface through a special UV printer and UV ink, which is similar to the principle of ordinary printers, but the specific process, materials and consumables are far from each other.

Application differences:

Thermal transfer: currently used in plastics, toys, electrical appliances, gifts, food packaging, clothing and other industries. Its advantage is that it can be printed on curved and irregular surfaces.

UV printing: mainly used in many industries, such as mobile phone case, ceramic tile, glass, metal, building materials, advertising, leather, wine bottles and so on. Its advantages are desirable and easy to operate. It can realize the immediate hit and dry and mass production.
