Roland DGA Announces Launch of New UV-DTF System with Enhanced Media
Why it matters: Direct-to-film technology is becoming increasingly better, and with the onset of UV-DTF, apparel decorators now have access to a whole new revenue stream through decorating hard goods.
Roland DGA announces the launch of a new UV direct-to-film (DTF) system, featuring enhanced media.
Roland DGA’s new UV-DTF system consists of UV-DTFA print sheets and UV-DTFB transfer film designed to work with Roland DG VersaOBJECT MO Series benchtop, VersaOBJECT CO-i Series large-format, and VersaSTUDIO BD Series desktop UV flatbed printers. When used together, the UV-DTFA and UV-DTFB media provide greater dimensional stability and eliminate adhesive residue deposits, while allowing improved adhesion that’s up to two times better than competitive systems, according to a press release. In addition, the UV-DTFB film features new layered technology that increases workflow efficiency, resulting in a much improved DTF transfer process.
The new UV-DTF transfer system enhances color vibrancy, durability, and adhesion of Roland DG’s specially formulated V-BOND inks (compatible with VersaOBJECT flatbed printers) by enabling high-impact graphics to be printed onto transfer media and then applied directly to a wide range of objects. VersaSTUDIO BD-8 and BD-12 desktop UV printer users can also unlock the full potential of the UV-DTF transfer system when paired with Roland DG’s ECO-UV 5 inks.
Roland DGA’s UV-DTF system makes it easy to create colorful, detailed, and durable pre-printed UV graphics that can be manually transferred to a vast array of three-dimensional objects, including oversized and irregularly shaped items.

“UV DTF printing is an ideal solution for retail operations, small businesses, and print providers who want to increase the value and appeal of just about anything by adding eye-catching graphics,” said Roland DGA’s UV Printer Product Manager Philip Chu in a press statement. “The introduction of our new print sheets and transfer film further improve the overall performance of the Roland DGA UV-DTF system, allowing for faster production, the customization of a wider range of substrates, and even greater adhesion.”
The UV-DTFA print sheets are offered in a box of 25 A3 (11.7×16.5”) sheets, while the UV-DTFB transfer film is available in 12.2×82” rolls. These items can be purchased through Authorized Roland DGA dealers or at the Roland DGA Online Store.
