Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Why is Platonink 16 3-Head UV DTF Printer perfect for brands?
It's got three printheads, so it prints fast, and the UV curing makes colors super vibrant with lots of detail. It just works, prints fast, and it's great if you are a small or medium business and need pro-level prints with colors that are always on point. 

Q2: How can I use UV DTF Transfers?
This printer will print designs on the PET Film, which can then be used on most hard surfaces, such as glass, plastic, wood, and even synthetic materials, as long as they have a smooth surface. The glue makes sure things stick super well and stay smooth, even on bumpy stuff.

Q3: How long do the prints last?
Prints made with this last a long time since it's waterproof, scratch-proof, and the colors won't fade. They’ll look good for years, even in high humidity or extreme heat. 

Q4: Can you teach me how to use the Platonink 16 3-Head UV DTF Printer?
Yes! You get instructions, hands-on lessons, and tech support. Included is a 2-year warranty, so not to worry. You can start with our tutorials and set everything up without additional help.

The 24 prints are wider, so it’s good for big prints and bulk custom products. If you have a small space, the 16 version is better, but it still prints quickly.
