DTF (Direct-to-Film) ink is a specialized type of pigment ink used in the Direct-to-Film printing process, where designs are printed directly onto a film transfer that is then applied to various fabrics. Unlike traditional printing methods, DTF printing allows for vibrant, full-color prints that adhere to a wide range of materials, including cotton, polyester, nylon, and blends. Here are some key attributes of DTF ink:
- High Durability: DTF ink produces designs that are highly durable, retaining their colors and texture even after numerous washes. This makes it ideal for applications requiring long-lasting prints.
- Color Vibrancy: The ink provides excellent color saturation and vibrancy, making it suitable for vivid, detailed designs. DTF inks are specially formulated to maintain the vibrancy and sharpness of complex images.
- Flexibility: DTF-printed designs have flexibility, which means they can stretch and conform with the fabric without cracking or peeling, an essential feature for apparel applications.
- White Underbase Layer: DTF ink sets often include white ink for the underbase layer, ensuring that designs are opaque on darker fabrics and that colors pop.
- Eco-Friendliness: Many DTF inks are made with eco-friendly formulas, reducing environmental impact compared to some traditional textile printing methods.
- Compatibility: DTF inks are typically compatible with specialized DTF printers that support multi-layer printing (color and white), and they require hot-melt adhesive powder for transferring the print to the fabric.
In essence, DTF inks are central to achieving high-quality, durable prints on diverse materials, ideal for custom clothing and branded apparel.
