Why UV DTO Printing is a Game-Changer for Custom Products
At Orion's Oasis Designs, we're always looking for the best ways to bring your ideas to life on the widest range of products possible. That's why we've chosen to use UV Direct to Object (DTO) printing for everything from custom pencils to Mylar balloons. But why did we pick UV DTO over other popular imaging techniques like sublimation or screen printing? Let’s break it down.
What is UV DTO Printing?
UV DTO printing is a cutting-edge process where UV light cures ink as it's printed, instantly bonding it to the surface of your chosen material. This allows for vibrant, high-quality prints on almost anything, and the results are unmatched. Here's why we think it's the best option for your custom products:
1. Versatility on Any Surface
One of the most significant advantages of UV DTO printing is its versatility. Whether we're working on metal tumblers, glass plaques, wooden signs, or even unique items like Mylar balloons, UV DTO printing handles it all. Traditional methods like sublimation are limited to materials with special coatings, and screen printing is only feasible for flat surfaces. But UV DTO works on virtually any material, allowing us to offer an incredible range of products.
2. Vibrant, Detailed Prints Every Time
With UV DTO, every design comes out sharp, vibrant, and true to detail. Whether it’s a complex logo or intricate artwork, the UV-cured ink provides unmatched precision. Unlike screen printing, which can struggle with fine details and requires multiple layers, UV DTO prints everything in a single pass—meaning you get clearer designs and more accurate colors, no matter how complex.
3. Durability You Can Count On
At Orion's Oasis Designs, we know that durability is essential. UV-cured ink is exceptionally durable and resistant to scratching, fading, and water damage. You can trust that your custom product will stand the test of time, no matter how much wear and tear it endures. While sublimation can produce durable prints, it’s only effective on coated materials, limiting its application. UV DTO, on the other hand, ensures your designs stay vibrant on everything from glass to wood to plastic.
4. Eco-Friendly and Efficient
Another reason we love UV DTO printing is its eco-friendly nature. Traditional screen printing can be water-intensive and involve harsh chemicals, while sublimation requires additional coatings and heat treatments. UV DTO, by contrast, uses fewer chemicals, has less waste, and doesn’t require any pre-treatment of materials. It’s a greener option that doesn’t compromise on quality.
5. Perfect for Small Batches and Custom Orders
One of the challenges with traditional printing methods like screen printing is that they require a different screen for each color, which can be time-consuming and expensive—especially for small orders. With UV DTO printing, we can print in full color in a single pass, making it perfect for small batches, custom orders, or even one-off designs. At Orion’s Oasis Designs, this allows us to offer cost-effective customization without the limitations of older techniques.
