As the company expanded into signage and novelty goods, outsourcing increased. To reduce reliance on external partners without making a large investment in multiple machines, it needed a more efficient and flexible production system.

With the UJV300DTF-75, the company can decorate a wide range of materials, including acrylic, stainless steel, glass, wood, and synthetic leather, as well as curved and complex shapes. This has expanded in-house production from goods to small-scale signage and window applications, reducing outsourcing and creating new business opportunities.

As the acrylic goods market diversified, there was a growing need to accommodate materials and shapes that could not previously be printed on, as well as small-lot, high-mix production. With conventional transfer sheets, the application sheet had to be applied manually after printing, making them unsuitable for mass production.

With the UJV300DTF-75, application-sheet attachment is automated, enabling small-lot production on diverse materials and shapes, including curved and uneven surfaces. Transfer sheets can also be printed before the base materials arrive, allowing earlier production and greater flexibility in meeting delivery schedules.

With conventional labels, reflections from transparent areas were often noticeable, making it difficult to achieve a natural, direct-print-like finish. The company also considered a flatbed UV printer, but saw challenges in the time required to make jigs, handling curved surfaces, and differentiating itself from competitors.

With the introduction of the UJV300DTF-75, the company can achieve a natural, direct-print-like finish without leaving transparent margins. It can also decorate a wide range of materials, including curved surfaces, and is developing new business opportunities by leveraging its high durability and ease of application.

Conventional stickers and decals often had noticeable margins and glare, making it difficult to achieve a natural finish that blended seamlessly with the object. At the same time, amid the booming sticker market and growing demand driven by fan-driven culture, f.delight needed to develop new merchandise products that could also be expanded into the B2C market.

With the UJV300DTF-75, f.delight can achieve a natural finish by transferring only the ink and adhesive layer. The system enables high-value-added decoration that blends seamlessly with materials and has generated new inquiries for a wide range of applications, including tools, guidance signs, and household items.

Support ski jumper Sara Takanashi with merchandise made using UV-DTF printers!

We printed the "JUMP for the Earth PROJECT" logo on a ready-made tumbler using the UV-DTF printer "UJV300DTF-75" and presented them to Sara Takanashi.

Printing on special materials and expensive materials with restrictions on materials and shapes involved time and risk in preparing jigs and printing from trial manufacture to actual production, and it was difficult to propose sales.

The introduction of a UV-DTF printer eliminates the need for jigs and allows a wide range of materials to be handled, reducing the time required for trial manufacture. The transfer sheet method has a high degree of freedom and contributes to shortening delivery times and winning new projects. The understanding of the sales field has advanced, and the ability to respond to not only order goods but also signature related matters has been greatly improved.
