What Ink is Used For DTF Printing?

The ink used in the DTF printer is a special pigment designed as cyan, yellow, magenta, white and black. White ink is the basis of printing, and colorful pigments print patterns on film. DTF uses water-based inks. The CMYK DTF ink makes the pattern brilliant vivid and durable. DTF printing ink is specially formulated to a suitable consistency, experiencing greater binding properties for high endurance against washing and reliable performance on fabric. It prevents nozzle blockage and clogging for smooth and efficient printing on the substrates. The DTF ink is also fast drying, cutting the long wait for the drying process. It is durable, less fading, and works perfectly with synthetic fabrics.

Which Is Better, DTG or DTF?

DTG needs the pretreatment of the garment. It consists of heating the garment before printing the substrate’s design. DTF doesn’t need pretreatment. Because DTF involves the direct transfer of images onto T-shirt.

Besides, DTF transfers the image from the PET film to the fabric, but DTG allows to transfer images without PET film, making the process faster.

DTG only work with cotton, however, DTF is compatible with many fabrics, less limits to fabric.

DTF uses white as a main top coating, but DTG utilizes white ink on some areas.

All in all, both printing process have their pros and cons, but overall, DTF stands well in printing. It is mainly because of its compatibility with various fabrics and no pretreatment.
