UV DTF printing isn’t just about putting ink on film—it’s about creating an experience through touch and texture. With advanced varnish layering and precision control, UV DTF technology can now create textured and embossed effects that elevate product design to a whole new level.
Here’s how you can harness UV DTF for tactile, premium finishes.
1. What Are Textured and Embossed Effects?
These are raised, tactile finishes added on top of printed designs to:
- Mimic embossing without dies or pressure
- Create patterns and textures on surfaces
- Highlight logos, patterns, or text with a 3D-like feel
2. How UV DTF Makes It Possible
Using UV-curable varnish ink, UV DTF printers:
- Print a clear layer on top of color ink
- Control the ink volume precisely for raised effects
- Instantly cure each layer using UV LED lamps
The result? A dry, durable texture that can be felt immediately after printing.
