DTF-S04 DTF Printing Ink

DTF Printing Ink Definition and Properties：

DTF (Direct-to-Film) Printing Ink is a water-based pigment ink designed for the film transfer process, which is realized by the following process:

1. Process: Printing the pattern directly on PET film and subsequently transferring the pattern to the surface of clothing, plastics, metals and other materials through thermal transfer.
2. Core Characteristics of DTF Printing Ink:

• Color Performance: Bright colors, clear patterns support high-resolution printing.
• Durability: Wash-resistant, light-resistant, flexible, suitable for long-term wear or use of items.
• Applicability: no need for pretreatment, supports small batch customized production (such as personalized clothing, gifts), compatible with dark and light-colored fabrics.
• Efficiency Advantage: fast printing speed, pre-made film pattern in advance, on-demand transfer printing, and shortened delivery cycle.

Advantages:

1. Wide Applicability:
   • Universal compatibility with different fibers, suitable for various fiber fabrics, no material limitations.
   • Particularly ideal for polyester-cotton fabrics, delivering exceptional performance.
2. Outstanding Printing Performance:
   • Vibrant colors with high color accuracy, achieving realistic visual effects.
   • No clogging of print heads, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted printing process.
3. Eco-Friendliness and Safety:
   • Environmentally friendly, meeting eco-friendly standards, safe and reliable to use.
4. Durability and Longevity:
   • Strong color fastness, ensuring printed patterns remain vibrant and fade-resistant.
   • Heat-resistant, adaptable to various post-processing techniques, with excellent stability.

Precautions for use of DTF Printing Ink:

1. Storage environment:

• Temperature: 5-30℃. Avoid exposure to sunlight.
• Humidity: 40%-85%; keep cool and dry.

2. Printing environment:

• Temperature: 15-30℃, Humidity: 50-80%.
• Keep the ink at a constant temperature in advance to prevent the printhead from drying out.

3. Equipment Maintenance:

• Regularly check the printhead and moisturise it to avoid the aging of the ink-absorbing stack seal.
• Clean the equipment after use to prevent clogging of ink residue.

DTF printing ink has become a popular choice in personalized printing with its advantages of high efficiency, environmental protection and multi-material compatibility. With the technology iteration and market demand growth, DTF ink is expected to replace the traditional process in more areas and promote the printing industry to digitalization and green transformation.
