UV printing has seven main limitations: high upfront cost, adhesion problems on some substrates, poor results on apparel, weak dishwasher durability, a learning curve, maintenance and curing demands, and size limits. You can manage each with primers, flexible inks, regular cleaning, and sample testing. UV excels on rigid goods and industrial textiles like heavy canvas, upholstery, and banners. Choose DTF for apparel and sublimation for dishwasher-safe drinkware.
