Focus on UV Printing Hybrid Services
Expand drinkware decoration potential
Since its launch, the Mimaki UJV300DTF-75 has introduced a new, more fl exible approach to UV printing, particularly within the growing drinkware market. Built on Mimaki’s proven UV technology, the machine prints onto a specialist adhesive fi lm, which is then transferred onto the fi nished product by the operator, using just their hands. This means that no heat, no pre-treatment and no specialist equipment is required. For drinkware suppliers, this changes the conversation. Traditional printing methods are often limited to perfect cylindrical shapes, for direct UV printing, leaving more complex designs, handles or irregular surfaces off the table.
With UV DTF, those limitations are signifi cantly reduced. Mugs, trendy handled bottles, champagne fl utes and uniquely shaped tumblers can now be decorated with sharp detail and vibrant colour.

Mimaki’s white ink ensures strong opacity and colour density, while instant-curing UV ink delivers a dry, durable transfer ready to apply immediately. Because the design is backed with white on the adhesive fi lm, image clarity and defi nition are maintained regardless of the substrate beneath it.
For businesses, this means fewer declined enquiries and more opportunities to diversify. The Mimaki UJV300DTF-75 allows businesses to say ‘yes’ to more print jobs, increase average order value and improve job profi tability, turning everyday requests into higher-margin opportunities.

Expanding to new markets Adelco’s UV DTF system features three Epson print heads that print double-sided designs with full colour, plus white and varnish. This opens up applications that weren’t practical before – transparent window stickers that look professional from both sides, or promotional items where every angle matters. The system also tackles the surfaces that give decorators headaches – curved bottles, textured ceramics, irregular promotional items, and anything that won’t sit fl at. Running at up to 8m sq/hr, the system handles everything automatically: fi lm feeding, laminating, and the integrated waste collector keep production fl owing smoothly. The automatic wiping and moisturising system is particularly clever – it cleans the print heads at startup and keeps them moist when powered down, preventing the blockages that typically cause UV printing downtime.
Open new opportunities with Adelco
What makes this system versatile is the substrate range. Glass, ceramic, metal, plastic, leather – hard or soft surfaces all work. Phone cases, glassware, metal signs, promotional keyrings, labels – the product range you can offer expands signifi cantly. The prints are scratch-resistant and fade-proof, ensuring designs last even on items subject to daily wear and handling. The real business advantage? Jobs you’d previously turn away become profi table opportunities, with durable results that keep customers coming back. Adelco has UK-based engineers supporting all DTF technologies; you’re backed by expertise when you need it.
