In today's pursuit of personalization and visual impact, bronzing remains a core technique for enhancing product appeal, transferring metallic foils onto surfaces to create a luxurious metallic effect. However, traditional bronzing has faced limitations such as complex plate-making, inflexibility, and high costs, making it difficult to meet the needs of small to medium batch creative designs.
With the advent of digital inkjet technology, AIN has brought bronzing into the digital era with its innovative UV DTF inkjet bronzing solution. This solution combines UV curing technology with foil transfer techniques, offering a streamlined process of "high-precision UV printing → precise foil attachment → integrated curing." This innovation not only overcomes the pain points of traditional bronzing but also significantly improves efficiency and precision through its unified "printing, bronzing, and curing" workflow, thus redefining the industry standards for metal decoration.
Traditional bronzing transfers metallized foil to a substrate using heat and pressure with a pre-made metal die. While effective, it's complex and suitable only for large-scale, fixed pattern production.
AIN inkjet bronzing, on the other hand, is a new digital process that requires no dies or heat. The workflow includes:
Design and Pre-press: Finalize the design on a computer and use RIP software for color separation, white underbase, and bronzing effects.
Digital Printing: Print the design on special transfer film (Magic Film) with UV gold ink, CMYK colors, white ink, and varnish. UV LED lights instantly cure the inks.
Automatic Laminating: Apply adhesive film (A-Film) over the printed design, creating the "crystal label" effect.
Cutting and Weeding: Cut out patterns and separate the backing layer (Magic Film-B) from the adhesive top layer (Magic Film-A).
Application and Transfer: Align the top layer (A-Film) on the target surface, applying pressure to ensure adhesion and remove air bubbles.
Peeling and Completion: Peel off the top film (A-Film) to reveal the bronzed pattern permanently transferred to the product.
This digital workflow simplifies a traditionally complex process into a straightforward "cold transfer" like applying a high-quality sticker.
Aspect | Traditional Bronzing | AIN Inkjet Bronzing |
Plate & Cost | Requires physical plates, long lead times, high cost, difficult modifications | No plates needed, direct digital output, zero plate cost, drastically reduces cost for small batches |
MOQ & Flexibility | Suitable for large batches, uneconomical for small orders | Print from a single piece, ideal for small batches, sampling, and variable data printing |
Material & Shape Limits | Poor adaptability to curves, irregular shapes, and fragile materials | Breaks shape constraints, transfers perfectly onto various materials (plastic, glass, metal, ceramic, leather, etc.) and complex surfaces |
Process Integration | Mostly a separate, standalone process relying on skilled operators | Highly integrated functionality, one machine simultaneously prints color, white, varnish, and bronzing effects |
Effect Diversity | Primarily gold, silver, and similar metallic colors | Can combine full-color patterns, 3D relief varnish, matte finishes, enabling multi-color bronzing and 3D textured bronzing |
