DTF printing gets asked about a lot, but UV DTF is a different process — and one most printers in South Africa still don’t offer in-house. At PI Printers, we run UV DTF alongside our standard DTF line, from the same facility in Lyndhurst, Johannesburg.
What Makes UV DTF Different
Standard DTF is heat-pressed onto fabric. UV DTF transfers cure under UV light and can be applied with adhesive backing — which means they work on surfaces fabric transfers can’t touch: glass, metal, plastic, ceramic, wood, and acrylic.
Where UV DTF Works Best
- Water bottles, tumblers and flasks
- Laptop and phone cases
- Glass and ceramic mugs
- Signage, plastic panels and acrylic displays
- 3D UV DTF patches for caps and bags
Why Get UV DTF From PI Printers
- Produced in-house, on the same site as our DTF, sublimation and laser engraving lines
- No minimum order, so it works for single promotional items or full corporate gifting runs
- Delivery across Johannesburg, nationwide, cross-border into Africa, and internationally
If you’ve got a product that DTF or sublimation can’t stick to, there’s a good chance UV DTF can. Message us on WhatsApp at +27 72 395 4445 or email info@piprinters.com and we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s the right fit.
