Applications

UV DTF stickers bond to hard, smooth surfaces. Letop lists ceramic mugs, glass, acrylic, leather, metal, plastic and gift packaging boxes, with phone stickers, gift labels and logos as typical jobs. Because the sticker is applied by hand, it also wraps around curved items that are hard to print on directly.

Popular jobs for Malaysian businesses

  • Personalised tumblers, bottles and mugs for corporate gifts and event door gifts
  • Logo labels for F&B packaging, jars and gift boxes
  • Festive gift labels for Hari Raya, Chinese New Year, Deepavali and Christmas
  • Phone case and gadget stickers
  • Name labels for trophies, plaques and acrylic signs

UV DTF vs DTF

"DTF" covers two different processes, and the two are often confused. The LT-300C is a UV DTF printer for hard surfaces, not a DTF printer for T-shirts.

FAQ

What is a UV DTF printer?

A UV DTF printer prints UV-curable ink, white and varnish onto a film (A film) and laminates it with a transfer film (B film). You peel off the backing and press the sticker onto the item. No heat press is needed.

Can the LT-300C print DTF transfers for T-shirts?

No. The LT-300C is a UV DTF printer for hard, smooth surfaces such as mugs, glass, acrylic and metal. Fabrics need a textile DTF printer with hot-melt powder and a heat press. Letop also makes textile DTF printers, so ask us which suits your work.

How fast is the Letop LT-300C?

From 1 m²/h in 12-pass high-resolution mode up to 2.3 m²/h in 6-pass production mode with the 60° head.

What is the maximum print width?

320 mm (12.6 in), wide enough for A3 sheets.

Is the LT-300C suitable for a small business or start-up?

Yes. Letop designed it for small print shops and start-ups: it sits on a desk, prints and laminates in one machine, and ships in an aviation case that doubles as a stand. Plan for an air-conditioned room at 20–28 °C.
