A type of ink called DTF is used in direct-to-film printing, a printing method that is different from conventional DTG printing. A polymer in DTF ink helps the ink stick to the transfer film; it is made especially for DTF printing. Pigments or dyes, resin, and other components make up DTF ink; the precise ingredients may vary based on the producer and the ink's composition. The water-based DTF ink is designed to work with the DX5, DX7, xp600, 4720.
Various ink types are used for DTF printing, depending on the task. For DTF printing, pigment, sublimation, and solvent-based inks are frequently employed. Direct-to-film transfers can be accomplished using a DTG or DTF printer and DTF ink.
Of experience in printing service
Specialised ink is required for DTF printing. Regular ink can be used for DTF printing, however, it is not recommended because it may not deliver the same quality or durability as specialised DTF ink. DTF ink is designed to work with DTF printers and printheads, and it has distinct qualities that make it ideal for printing on DTF film. The producer and product determine whether DTF ink is water-based, pigment-based, sublimation-based, or solvent-based.
DTF (Direct to Film) inks are distinguished by their flexibility and resistance to cracking during fabric movement. When correctly applied and cared for, DTF prints are highly resistant to cracking, and their flexibility allows them to move and stretch with the fabric, ensuring longevity and integrity during wear and movement.
