21. All processes for making UV DTF and its application

 

Today, we will apply the UV DTF film we created to a different actual object.

I. UV DTF principle _Will UVDTF stick well to all objects  

1. UV DTF application scheme _Will UVDTF stick well to all objects

1. UV DTF Film A
It consists of three layers: an adhesive layer on top of a base film, and a protective film that protects the adhesive.

2. UV Printing
Remove the Protective film from Film A and print White Color Varnish on the adhesive layer on the Base film.

3. UV DTF Film B
It consists of two layers: a release agent and a film.

4. Hot coating
Lay together the Film B release agent and the printed side of Film A.

5. Attach to objects
If you separate Film A and Film B as shown in the schematic below, the base surface of Film A will be detached.
If you attach Film B to an object and remove it, the base surface of Film B and the release agent will also be removed.
Then, only the adhesive and UV Ink will remain on the object as shown below.

2. Why I explained the UV DTF application scheme _Will UVDTF stick well to all objects

The reason why UV ink sticks to objects is that
the liquid hardens as it slightly penetrates the object, so it sticks to the object,
and the UV ink that falls on it also sticks to each other, so the ink does not fall off.

 

However, UV DTF film sticks to objects through the adhesive in Film A.

• The adhesive sticks well to smooth surfaces such as glass or iron plates, that is, surfaces that are not porous,
• and does not stick well to surfaces that are not smooth such as wood, or surfaces that are uneven, because the adhesion area is reduced.

Considering this, you can roughly estimate the level of adhesion before attaching UV DTF film to an object.

II. UV DTF TEST Results _Will UVDTF stick well to all objects

 

1. Objects with good adhesive properties _Will UVDTF stick well to all objects

 

Metal, glass
The surface is smooth, so the adhesion is good, and when film B is removed, the surrounding stickiness comes off relatively easily.

 

Plastic
Unpainted plastic has good adhesion, and when film B is removed, the surrounding stickiness comes off relatively easily.

Painted surface
The adhesion to the following objects is good, and when film B is removed, the surrounding stickiness comes off relatively well.
However, since it is attached to the painted surface, it may vary depending on the type of paint.

 

Even for similar home appliances, workability differs greatly depending on the paint and surface roughness.

PCs were easy to work with, but laptops were not.

2. Objects that do not adhere well _Will UVDTF stick well to all objects

 

Materials that do not exhibit good adhesion are as follows.

• Unpainted wood, rough surface
• Rubber roll, rough surface
• Painted sheet metal, rough surface
• Pencil case, speaker, rough surface

한가지 특이사항은, 스템플러의 경우, 도장된 표면이 매끄러움에도 잘 붙지 않았습니다.
도장 종류에 따라 부착력 차이가 있는 거 같습니다. 

 

3. Video _Will UVDTF stick well to all objects

 

It’s a 7-minute video, and for about 1 minute, I mentioned whether the work was easy or difficult for each of the 18 materials.

From the 1st minute on, it’s the process of making UV DTF, as follows.

• UV DTF preparation materials and general explanation of the entire process
• Place the material to be printed on the printer
• Explain the printing conditions and actual printing
• Overlap Film B on the printing surface without bubbles (We also half failed and half succeeded)
• Now transfer it with a thermal coater (It’s so much better to use a thermal coater than doing it by hand)
• Cut the image you want to apply (I bought a cheap cutter, and it’s so convenient)
• Apply it to the mouse
• Cell phone (It doesn’t match the material well)
• Take the glass cup out of the freezer
• Apply it to an oily and slightly roughly painted iron plate

One thing to be careful of is that
At that time, a sheet thermal coater was used, and since sheet thermal coaters cannot avoid bubble defects, you should use a roll thermal coater. If you use a roll coater, the process of making UV DTF becomes much simpler.

See the video below.

III. This is how ARTJET supports our customers.

One thing I feel while selling and maintaining ARTJET UV Printers for 5 years is that the next most important thing after product stability is Troubleshooting DATA.

All products have problems, whether they are actual equipment problems or consumer errors, and product stability is how easily and quickly you solve those problems.

We are organizing all the troubleshooting DATA as follows.
