Which machine is recommended for personalization?
Customization is a broad term. To determine the right machine, the practical criterion is the substrate: what exactly will be customized.
For textile pieces, the most common technologies are DTF and sublimation. DTF works via film transfer and sublimation via transfer paper, each with its own material compatibilities.
For rigid surfaces and promotional items, UV printing allows direct printing onto the part, while UV DTF creates transfer stickers. For permanent marking, fiber laser and UV laser engravers are the typical choices.
Many operations combine two technologies to expand their product catalog. It is worth simulating the order mix before deciding, and checking the actual compatibility of each material with the technical team.
