DTF (Direct-to-Film) ink is a specialized type of ink used in DTF printing, a process for transferring designs onto textiles. This ink is designed to adhere to PET film during printing and subsequently bond well with fabric during heat transfer. Here's a breakdown of what makes DTF ink unique and important:
Key Features of DTF Ink:
Pigmented Formulation:
- DTF ink contains pigments, offering vibrant and opaque colors that can print on both light and dark fabrics without requiring pre-treatment.
White Ink:
- A critical component in DTF printing, white ink acts as a base layer for designs on dark fabrics, enhancing color visibility and vibrancy.
Compatibility:
- Formulated for DTF printers, it works in harmony with printheads like Epson and others commonly used in DTF machines.
Stretchability and Durability:
- When transferred, the ink exhibits good stretchability and durability, ensuring the design doesn't crack or peel easily on garments.
Eco-Friendly Options:
- Many DTF inks are water-based, making them less harmful to the environment and safer for users.
Heat and Wash Resistance:
- Once transferred and cured, the ink is resistant to washing and high temperatures, extending the longevity of prints.
How DTF Ink Works in Printing:
- Print on PET Film:
- DTF ink is jetted onto a PET transfer film in the desired design, with white ink applied as the backing layer.
- Powder Application:
- Adhesive powder is sprinkled onto the wet ink, bonding to it.
- Curing and Transfer:
- The ink and powder are heat-cured on the film, then transferred onto fabric using a heat press.
Common Challenges:
- Clogging in Printheads: Regular maintenance is crucial, especially for white ink, which tends to settle and clog.
- Ink Quality: Using high-quality ink minimizes issues like uneven prints and poor adhesion.
