Tips on Choosing DTF Printing Ink for Printers

DTF printing ink is a crucial consumable item for the many DTF printers currently available. What is the best way to choose DTF printer ink for DTF shirt printers? Let's learn more about the process.

Since the ink that was used in the beginning has been tested extensively by the company that makes it, its performance is quite consistent, and the result of printing is guaranteed.

The enormous DTF printer's printhead and original ink are well-matched making it difficult to harm or block the print head. It also makes sure that the DTF printer is always operating in its optimal way.

Original ink printing produces superior quality print, better quality color, less smoky images as well as higher definition. The cost of the original ink has been steadily declining as thanks to ongoing advances regarding DTF print technology. This is making the machine's prices more affordable.

Installation precautions for original ink:

1. Fill the ink cartridge with ink, making sure to match the colors.

2. To prevent spills of ink make use of a funnel when applying DTF ink.

3. If you switch inks, it is essential to clean the cartridges for ink and ink paths to stop the mixing of the new inks. This can result in impurities that cause a blockage in the printhead of your DTF printing printer on your shirt.

DTF Printer Ink Basic Knowledge

The process of making the ink is extremely difficult, but the stability of the ink is adequate, and the stable life is extremely long. The performance of oil gold must be examined under actual inkjet printing conditions in order to measure its fluidity. Crystallization of ink can lead to obstruction of the nozzle, and therefore, crystallisation is to be avoided. Additionally, the miscibility of the various dyes has to be sufficient when mixed at one point on the surface. This is the main difference between traditional screen printing and digital screen printing. Screen printing dyes are mixed and then applied directly onto the fabric, whereas inkjet printing is sprayed directly onto the fabric's surface through a network of droplets to produce the final result in color.

Paint (or pigment) Inks based on pigments should use a binder. Traditional screen printing uses the binder added to the printing paste. Digital printing uses three different methods for the application of the binder.

(1) in the formula for dispersion of printing inks dtf;

(2) By means of an independently operated nozzle (launch channel);

(3) Apply adhesive after inkjet printing. Depending on the drop-on-demand printhead technology various requirements are placed on painting (or the pigment) inks. There are companies that have developed two types of coating inks without textile binder, namely one ink can be used with low-viscosity piezoelectric printers, as well as the other, is compatible with thermo bubble jet drop-on-demand printing heads, with resolutions as high as 600 dpi. Paint ink is a new ink that is a low viscosity (5mPa s), soft paint that is able to enhance the quality of printing, resulting in prints with deeper, more vivid colors and finer printing outlines. Inks use a novel multi-functional polymeric dispersant, which can help stabilize and disperse the coating, and endow the fabric with a high-strength color as well as improve the quality of outline printing as well as improve rubbing speed and washing speed, as well as the vividness.

It is evident that innovations in ink formulation chemistries for digital printing could have significant technical and economic impacts on the economy and technology. However, based on colorfastness in a specific color gamut, the chromophore within the structure of the dye has been developed to overcome the issue of color fastness within the color gamut of a certain range. Dyestuff manufacturers are also working to advance their technology in order to make better-quality dyes.
