What is the difference between uv printing and heat transfer printing?

   What is the difference between uv printing and thermal transfer printing,

which one is more advantageous? As a new type of digital short-run printing

technology, uv printing has been introduced into China for nearly ten years.

Thermal transfer printing technology is a method of pre-printing the pattern that

needs to be printed on the surface of the object on the surface of the film,

and then printing the pattern on the surface of the object by a thermal transfer machine.

After the pattern is printed on the surface of the object, the ink will be integrated

with the surface of the product, so the adhesion will be relatively strong,

and there are few restrictions on the shape range of the material.

   Compared with thermal transfer printing, the pattern printed by uv has rich color

patterns, bright colors, small color difference, and good performance, which can meet

the effect requirements of the designer. In addition, with the unique 3D embossed

three-dimensional effect, it has won the personalized printing field market.

   The process flow of the uv printer is that the user first edits and processes the pattern in

the color software on the computer, and then transmits the data to the printing control

software, and outputs the command through the printing software. After the uv printer

receives the command, it will perform the printing work, and finally the pattern that

the customer sees and thinks can be printed on the surface of the object.

   Another advantage of uv printing is labor saving and its environmental protection.

Because it is computer controlled and fully automated printing, only one technician is

required for the entire process. The chemical cost without voc in uv ink is non-toxic to

the operator or the surrounding environment.
