The 8073-3 can be used for producing UV DTF transfers for compatible hard and specialty surfaces, including:
- Crystal labels and decorative stickers
- Tumblers and drinkware
- Bottles and containers
- Glass products
- Metal products
- Acrylic
- Plastic
- Phone cases
- Promotional products
- Personalized gifts
- Awards and recognition products
- Signage and branded graphics
- Packaging and product decoration

Substrate compatibility and adhesion can vary by material. Always test the complete transfer process on the intended substrate before commercial production.
Three Epson i3200-U1 Printheads
The Audley 8073-3 features three Epson i3200-U1 UV printheads, providing a professional printhead configuration for wide-format UV DTF production.
The print system supports:
CMYK + White + Varnish
The combination of color, opaque white, and varnish enables businesses to produce detailed UV DTF graphics with layered effects and glossy finishing options.
Up to 10 m²/h Production Speed
The 8073-3 provides three selectable production modes so operators can balance speed and image quality according to the job.
| Print Mode | Speed | Recommended Use |
|---|---|---|
| 4-Pass Production | Up to 10 m²/h | Higher-volume production |
| 6-Pass Precision | Up to 7 m²/h | Balanced quality and productivity |
| 8-Pass High Precision | Up to 4 m²/h | Detailed, high-precision graphics |
Actual production output can vary depending on artwork, print coverage, RIP settings, media, ink configuration, and operating conditions.
Automatic White-Ink Management
White ink is an important component of UV DTF printing, particularly when producing transfers for darker or transparent surfaces.
The 8073-3 incorporates an automatic white-ink stirring system and positive-pressure ink supply to help maintain consistent ink flow during operation.
Proper maintenance and following the manufacturer's recommended cleaning and operating procedures remain essential for reliable printhead and ink-system performance.
High-Power UV Curing System
The integrated UV curing system is designed to cure UV-curable ink during the printing process.
This allows the printed layers to be processed as part of the UV DTF production workflow and helps support consistent handling of the printed film.
Automatic Media Handling
The Audley 8073-3 incorporates an automatic lifting roller system designed to help maintain flat and consistent media feeding during production.
A low-media sensor alerts the operator when the film roll is running low, helping reduce the risk of unexpectedly running out of media during a production job.
Servo-Driven Precision Motion
For professional wide-format production, consistent media movement is essential.
The 8073-3 uses a Leadshine servo system on the X-axis combined with HIWIN silent linear guide rails to provide controlled, precise movement throughout the printing process.
PhotoPrint RIP with ICC Color Control
The Audley 8073-3 includes PhotoPrint RIP software with ICC color-management support.
The RIP workflow allows operators to prepare and manage UV DTF artwork while supporting common professional image formats, including:
- TIFF
- JPEG
- Other supported standard image formats
ICC color management can help maintain more predictable color reproduction when the appropriate profiles and workflow settings are used.
Wide-Format UV DTF Production for Growing Businesses
The 8073-3 is designed for businesses moving beyond entry-level UV DTF equipment and looking for increased print width and production capacity.
The 24-inch format allows users to arrange multiple designs across the film width, making the system suitable for commercial UV DTF transfer production, branded merchandise, promotional products, and specialty decoration.
