Notes

Acrylic

✅

✅

✅

Acrylic primer

—

Hanging signs, keychains, display plaques, fridge magnets.

Metal

✅

✅

✅

Metal primer

—

Nameplates, medals, metal cards. Adhesion varies widely by coating — use a primer matched to it.

Glass

✅

✅

✅

Glass & ceramic primer

OR1 Rotary for tumblers

Flat glass prints directly. Use the OR1 for tumbler bodies and cylinders; for complex curves, choose UV DTF.

Ceramic

✅

✅

✅

Glass & ceramic primer

OR1 Rotary for tumblers

Tiles, ceramic plaques, small ornaments. Avoid drinking rims and food-contact surfaces.

Plastic

✅

✅

✅

Matching primer where the material calls for it

—

ABS, PC, and acrylic types work best. Soft rubber, silicone, and low-surface-energy plastics shed ink.

Wood

✅

✅

✅

—

—

Flatter surfaces print sharper. Seal rough or porous wood first.

Paper

✅

✅

✅

—

—

Cards, hang tags, gift cards. Hold thin sheets flat so they don't curl.

Lenticular

✅

✅

✅

—

—

Lenticular, 3D, and localized raised display effects. Align lenticular sheets precisely before printing.

Leather

❌

✅

❌

—

—

Dual UV covers leather and other flexible materials. Use flexible white ink on leather.

Tumbler / Cup

✅

✅

✅

Primer chosen to match the body material

OR1 Rotary

Regular cylinders can run on the OR1. Where there's a handle, a complex curve, or a large step in height, UV DTF is the better first choice.

Fabric

❌

❌

✅

White ink & color ink pretreatment solution / DTF film

Garment Tray + heat press for apparel

This is a DTG/DTF textile workflow — UV direct printing is not recommended here.
