Technologies · six paths · one decision

Each technology
solves a different
problem.

UV LED, DTF textile, CO₂ laser, fibre laser, CNC and packaging inkjet. Here are the real differences — materials, volume, investment and where each one fits.

Comparison

All six, side by side.

Decision tree

One question leads to the next.

Start from the material and end up at the technology. If you want to skip the tree, answer the recommendation quiz and we'll tell you directly what fits.

¿Qué quieres producir?
Rama
IMPRIMIR sobre algo
¿Sobre qué?
Objeto rígido (metal/vidrio/madera/acrílico) UV LED Textil (algodón, poliéster, mezclas) DTF / DTG Envase en línea (cartón/plástico/metal) Packaging
Rama
CORTAR o GRABAR
¿Qué material?
Metal (acero, inox, aluminio) Láser fibra Orgánico (madera, acrílico, cuero, papel) Láser CO₂ Pieza 3D (madera, MDF, plástico técnico) CNC router

Doesn't fit? Combine two technologies or check with the team — many workshops use UV LED + CO₂ laser in parallel.

Still have questions

The technical decision
is the easy part. Let's make it together.

Tell us what you want to produce and we'll guide you to the right technology and brand — no commitment, no mandatory in-person demo.
