Many people may not know the difference between heat transfer printing and universal UV printer. Now let's take a look!

1、Use different inks

Thermal transfer printing uses thermal transfer ink, also known as thermal sublimation ink; Universal UV printer uses UV ink.

2、Different process

Thermal transfer printing: thermal transfer printing is to first print the color pattern on the heat-resistant substrate, and then transfer the pattern to the product surface by hot stamping combined with special transfer equipment.

Universal UV printer directly prints the pattern on the product surface. In essence, it is a kind of piezoelectric inkjet printing equipment.

3、Different application industries

Heat transfer printing is used in plastics, toys, electrical appliances, food packaging, clothing and other industries. The advantage is that it can be printed on curved and irregular surfaces.

Universal UV printer is mainly used in mobile phone shell, ceramic tile, glass, metal, building materials, advertising, leather and many other industries. The advantage is that it can be taken at once, the operation is convenient, and it can achieve hit and dry and mass production.
