UV DTF A&B Film Roll – 11.8" 328': High-Quality Transfers for Professional Printing

The UV DTF A&B Film Roll – 11.8" 328' is an essential material for anyone involved in high-quality Direct-to-Film printing using UV technology. Designed for professional printers and small businesses alike, this film roll offers consistent performance, durability, and exceptional print quality. With its precise manufacturing and compatibility with most UV DTF inks, it ensures smooth transfers on a variety of surfaces, making it ideal for creative projects, custom apparel, promotional items, and specialty merchandise.

What is UV DTF A&B Film?

UV DTF A&B Film is a specialized polyethylene terephthalate (PET) transfer film designed for use with UV-curable inks in the Direct-to-Film process. The “A&B” designation refers to the two layers of the film: the base layer, which provides stability and prevents ink bleeding, and the top coating layer, which allows UV inks to adhere effectively and cure with precision. This combination ensures sharp, vibrant images and prevents distortions during the transfer process.

In practice, the design is printed directly onto the film using a UV DTF printer. The ink cures instantly under UV light, producing a solid, flexible layer that holds color fidelity and detail. Once printed, adhesive powder is applied to the film, followed by heat transfer onto the desired substrate. The process is fast, reliable, and produces long-lasting prints, even on challenging surfaces such as fabric, glass, metal, or plastic.

Key Features of 

  • Optimal Width and Length: Measuring 11.8 inches wide and 328 feet long, this roll provides ample material for both small-scale and large-scale projects. Its continuous length reduces the need for frequent roll changes, improving workflow efficiency.

  • Dual-Layer Design: The A&B structure ensures excellent adhesion of UV inks while maintaining stability and durability during handling and transfer.

  • High Clarity: The film offers transparent layers that allow precise registration of designs, ideal for multi-layer prints or complex graphics.

  • Compatibility: Works with a wide range of UV DTF inks, including CMYK and white, ensuring consistent results across different printer models.

  • Durability: Resistant to tearing, curling, or warping, even under heat transfer conditions, providing reliable performance for extended runs.

  • Versatile Application: Suitable for textiles, promotional items, home décor, industrial labeling, and other creative projects.

Advantages of Using 

Using a high-quality film like the UV DTF A&B Roll delivers multiple benefits for both beginners and professional printers.

  1. Vibrant Color Reproduction: The UV-compatible coating ensures that inks cure evenly and retain bright, consistent colors across different substrates.

  2. Long-Lasting Transfers: Once transferred, prints remain durable, resistant to washing, fading, or scratching, maintaining a professional appearance over time.

  3. Improved Workflow Efficiency: The 328-foot roll reduces downtime caused by frequent material changes, allowing uninterrupted production runs.

  4. Versatility Across Materials: From cotton t-shirts and hoodies to mugs, metal signs, and acrylic surfaces, the film can accommodate a wide range of applications.

  5. Precision Printing: High clarity and stable adhesion help produce sharp edges, fine details, and accurate color layering, particularly useful for multi-layer designs.

Instructions

Prepare the Printer: Load the Type A film with the adhesive side facing up at the back of the UV DTF printer. Load the Type B film at the front of the printer. The loading order or position may vary depending on the printer model, so refer to your printer's user manual for specific instructions.

Connect the Films: Ensure that the Type A and Type B films are properly aligned and connected. The films should be secured together, with the Type A film feeding from the back and the Type B film positioned at the front for proper transfer.

Print the Design: Print your design onto the Type A film. The printer will automatically apply the Type B laminating film over the printed design during the printing process.

Peel off Type A Film: Once the print has been transferred to the substrate, carefully remove the Type A film, leaving the design securely attached.

Transfer the Design: Apply pressure to the transfer to ensure full adherence, then peel off the Type B film to reveal your completed design.

Storage Instructions: Store the UV DTF films in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep the films in their original packaging or in a sealed, protective container to prevent dust or contaminants from affecting the film surface. Ensure the film rolls are kept upright and stored horizontally to avoid damage or warping.

Disposal Instructions: Dispose of any used film, including the release liner and protective films, in accordance with local regulations for plastic and film waste. Do not dispose of the films in general household waste if your local area has a recycling program for plastic films. Consider recycling if possible to reduce environmental impact.
