    Protective and Glossy Finish for Professional UV Transfers

    Platonink UV DTF Varnish Ink is the perfect solution to upgrade your UV DTF transfers. This high-quality ink is specially formulated to provide an effective coat of high-gloss fixing layer for the hard-surface AB transfers.

    The shiniest and most durable area of your transfer will be the area where you have printed the varnish ink which is specifically made for Film A in the UV DTF AB system.

    With Platonink Varnish Ink you can create a stunning effect by working on top of CMYK or white layers. The result will be a glossy smooth layer that is scratch-resistant, has better adhesion and your design will look more lively. The ink is perfect for all kinds of graphics including logos, decals, labels etc and it not only enhances the aesthetics of prints, but also makes them last longer.

    Reasons Why Platonink UV DTF Varnish Ink Is The Choice

    Smooth, High-Gloss Finish

    Smooth, high-gloss finish, which is the most striking feature of the Platonink UV DTF Varnish Ink, not only adds to the UV DTF prints but also creates a protective layer which the melt layers underneath. It makes the colors richer and adds a smooth shining coating over the top.

    Dedicated Solely for UV DTF Printing

    The varnish ink is solely optimized for the Film A in the UV DTF AB transfer method. It gets applied flawlessly, cured evenly under UV light, and stays clean during transfer for trustworthy and reproducible results.

    Adds to Durability

    A tough, transparent thermal coating is formed by the varnish once it has been properly UV cured, thus it protects the designs from scratches, fading, moisture and even ordinary wear. It aids in the extending of the life span of UV DTF transfers on hard surfaces.

    Compatible with All UV DTF Layers

    The Platonink UV DTF Varnish Ink is 100% compatible with CMYK color inks as well as white ink layers. It fits in easily with the multi-layer workflows and not only enhances the vibrancy of colors but also the strength of the overall print.

    Finishing Touch of Professionalism

    The varnish provides an appearance of polished premium quality with a smooth texture and a uniform gloss. It raises the UV DTF transfers to a standard commercial-quality finish that is perfect for branding, signage, labels, decals, and decorative applications.

    How It’s Used (UV DTF Workflow)

    Print on Film A

    Start your UV printer with Platonink UV DTF Varnish Ink, and print it either all over the design or in some areas as a finishing layer to emphasize those areas.

    UV Cure

    While the UV printing is done, the varnish is cured. The right curing gives a surface that is hard, glossy, and protective and that also bonds to the printed layers underneath quite well.

    Combine with Other Layers

    Varnish can be applied to the CMYK or white ink layers to make the colors more vibrant, the image deeper, and the print tougher against wear and the effects of nature.

    Laminate with Film B

    To finalize the AB transfer system, Film B is laminated on top of the cured Film A layer and to get the design ready for hard surface application.

    Peel and Apply

    Take off Film A, firmly press the transfer onto the desired surface, and then take off Film B to show the smooth, glossy, and durable finished design.

    The result: a durable, high-quality UV DTF transfer with a high-gloss protective finish that not only enhances color but also adds depth and provides premium visual impact on a variety of hard surfaces.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Adding a glossy, transparent protective coating over the UV DTF transfers is the main purpose of the UV DTF varnish ink.

    Yes. After the curing procedure, the varnish layer acts as a barrier against scratches, fading, moisture, and daily usage for the UV DTF transfers. This extra protection markedly increases the value of the printed designs on hard surfaces.

    It is better to apply a finishing layer over printed designs as the main function is of varnish to enhance, protect, and add gloss to existing UV DTF artwork rather than printing alone.

    It is better to apply a finishing layer over printed designs as the main function is of varnish to enhance, protect, and add gloss to existing UV DTF artwork rather than printing alone.

    The varnish ink should be stored in a location that is cool and dry and out of direct sunlight. Always keep the container tightly closed when it is not in use to avoid the premature curing of UV or contamination inside of the bottle.
