NUtec Digital Ink Launches UV-DTF Ink for Decal Printing

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• UV-DTF adoption: Faster turnaround times, reduced labor, and no manual weeding are driving increased interest in UV-DTF workflows for promotional product decoration.
• Versatility expands: Ruby R10-DTF supports applications across glass, metal, wood, plastic, ceramic, and other hard goods commonly used in branded merchandise.

NUtec Digital Ink, a digital inkjet ink developer and manufacturer, announces the availability of Ruby R10-DTF, a UV-curable direct-to-film (DTF) ink solution engineered for short-run, durable decal production.

Designed for LED-UV printers, Ruby R10-DTF ink aims to help print providers significantly reduce production time and labor costs. By eliminating the manual weeding process associated with traditional vinyl applications, workflows are streamlined with faster turnaround times for customized and short-run jobs.

Ruby R10-DTF enables the adhesion of DTF films to a wide range of substrates, including glass, metal, wood, plastic, ceramic, and many other commonly used promotional and decorative surfaces. Its high-opacity white ink, vibrant color, and coverage on dark, tinted, and metallic materials ensure consistent results across applications.

The R10-DTF formulation has been developed for stable jetting and fast curing performance on DTF, PET, and paper-based A-films. Whether producing branded gadgets, promotional products, personalized items, or decorative graphics, users can achieve sharp detail.

“We are excited to announce our new Ruby R10-DTF inkset, which has been developed to help our customers simplify production and respond more efficiently to the growing demand for fast-turnaround customised decal printing,” said Darren Claassens, head of sales and marketing at NUtec Digital Ink.

Ruby R10-DTF is compatible with Epson I3200™, I1600, and XP600 printheads.
