Direct to film (DTF) printing has revolutionized the garment decoration industry, offering vibrant colors and intricate designs on a wide range of fabrics.
However, to ensure consistent and high-quality prints, it's crucial to maintain your DTF ink system effectively.
Here are some essential tips to keep your DTF ink work better:
1. Clean the Printer
Before injecting new ink, ensure thorough cleaning of the printer, including ink cartridges and the internal ink supply system.
Residual ink can cause clogging and affect print quality. Regular maintenance prevents potential issues and extends the lifespan of your equipment.
2. Shake the Ink
Daily rolling or shaking of white ink is imperative to prevent clogging or separation.
White ink, in particular, tends to settle over time, leading to inconsistencies in printing.
Shake the ink vigorously to ensure uniform consistency before each use.
Remember, white ink typically has a shelf life of nine months, so monitor its condition regularly.
3. Maintain Optimal Working Conditions
Control the temperature and humidity levels in your DTF printing environment.
The recommended temperature range is 16-28°C, with humidity maintained between 40%-60%RH.
Fluctuations in these conditions can impact ink viscosity and drying times, affecting print quality and adherence to the substrate.
4. Recommend the Right Products
