Maven MI-310 UV-DTF

The MI-310 UV-DTF is a 395 nm ink formulated for UV DTF machines that produce crystal labels on A/B film. There is no OEM ink to reference in this category — compatibility is defined by the printhead and the film pair instead, which is why we list no OEM equivalent. It lays white and varnish alongside CMYK, in reverse order: varnish first, then colour, then white. Validated on the MC-300 U1 and 30 cm class Epson-head systems. Lamination pressure and film pairing are documented in a table.

• MavenCure LED 395 — the ink cures on the film under 395 nm LED. The varnish layer is the critical one: under-cured varnish picks up fingerprints after transfer and the label reads matt. Final hardness follows the 24-hour post-cure.
• ABPair Film Matching — the A film must sit in a surface energy band of 38–42 dyn/cm, and the adhesive class of the B film is chosen against the target surface. Lamination nip pressure is 0.25–0.35 MPa, applied cold. Validated film pairs are tabulated in the data sheet; an unapproved pair means either a label that will not release from the film or one that lifts at the edges after transfer.
• MavenWhite High Opacity — white is printed last, which makes it the bottom layer after transfer, backing the colour. Dark and transparent surfaces need a double hit of white; that does not change the cost per square metre of film, but it does cut output by a third.
• CrystalGloss Varnish Layer — varnish prints as a spot channel on selected areas and gives the label a raised, tactile surface. It is the single property separating a crystal label from a flat sticker, and it has to be built as its own layer in the artwork.
• ColorMatch Profile Package — the changeover class is Switch and Match. Because white opacity and varnish thickness both change, the lines are flushed and the profile is rebuilt. Plan half a day of calibration and roughly 20 metres of film waste.
