Characteristics of Hongsam 5th Genration DTF Ink

HONGSAM New Generation DTF Ink

In order to meet the continuous upgrading and demand of the market, Jettextile DTF ink upgraded again，and the 5th generation DTF ink was lanuched. After continuous improvement, the dispersion and suspension of the DTF ink has been improved, thereby avoiding flocculation, sedimentation, and deterioration caused by long‑distance ocean transportation or long‑term storage, resulting in customers being unable to use it normally. It solves the common problem of oil return on printed film, improves the feel and smoothness, and is suitable for fast and large‑ink printing with multi‑nozzle machines. At the same time, the covering power of white ink is improved.

FAQ of DTF Ink

1. Why Does DTF Ink Clog the Printhead?

Print head clogging is a major factor affecting DTF transfer printing quality and production yield. Several factors can cause print head clogging:

1) Ink quality

Inferior quality ink should be avoided. Ink that is too thick or contains impurities may clog the printhead.

2) Ink drying

When ink dries prematurely in the printhead, it can interfere with normal ink jetting.

3) Lack of maintenance

DTF printing machines are precision machines that require regular maintenance. Failure to clean the printhead or replace ink cartridges when necessary can allow debris and dried ink to accumulate, potentially causing clogging.

4) Environmental factors

High temperatures and low humidity may cause ink to dry too quickly, potentially blocking nozzles and interrupting ink ejection. Changes in ink viscosity under unsuitable operating conditions may also contribute to nozzle clogging.

5) Ink system problems

Problems with the ink delivery system can also cause clogged nozzles. For example, a clogged filter or malfunctioning pump can prevent ink from flowing properly through the printhead.

2. How Can You Prevent Printhead Clogging When Using DTF Ink?

1) Use high-quality DTF ink

Use high-quality ink that is compatible with your DTF printer and its ink delivery system.

2) Clean the printhead regularly

Follow the printer manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule. Use a compatible cleaning solution and follow the equipment manufacturer's instructions for printhead cleaning. Do not use distilled water unless it is specifically approved for the printer and ink system.

3) Use a humidifier

Maintain temperature and humidity within the operating range recommended by the printer and ink manufacturers. A humidifier may help maintain suitable humidity where necessary and reduce premature ink drying.

3. Will White Ink Affect Printhead Performance?

Yes, white ink requires proper handling and maintenance.

1) Printhead clogging

White ink contains white pigment particles that must remain adequately dispersed. If the ink sediments, dries, or is not properly managed, it may contribute to printhead clogging.

2) Printhead damage

Improper ink delivery, unsuitable ink properties, or inadequate maintenance may affect printhead operation and potentially lead to damage. Follow the printhead and ink manufacturers' maintenance recommendations.

3) Ink mixing

Mixing incompatible inks in the ink delivery system may affect ink stability, cause contamination, and reduce print quality. Verify ink compatibility before changing ink.

4. How Do You Choose DTF Ink Compatible with Your Printhead?

DTF ink compatibility depends on more than the printhead model alone. The ink must also be suitable for the printer's ink delivery system, operating conditions, and intended printing application.

Before selecting DTF ink, verify:

Printhead compatibility: Confirm suitability for the specific printhead model and printer configuration.
Ink properties: Check the manufacturer's technical specifications for viscosity and other relevant properties.
White ink performance: Evaluate whiteness, opacity, dispersion stability, and ink delivery performance.
Printing requirements: Assess color reproduction, transfer results, and production requirements using representative test prints.
Technical support: Confirm the availability of product specifications, maintenance guidance, and troubleshooting assistance.

HONGSAM DTF ink is available for selected printhead platforms, including Epson I3200, DX5, XP600, and TX800. Compatibility should be confirmed for the specific printer and ink system before use.

Development Background of Hongsam DTF Ink

In 2020, for the digital printing industry, the term "DTF" continues to be popular. As we all know, the production process of traditional lettering film and film transfer is complicated and inefficient. Digital film transfer has the characteristics of "short cycle and fast delivery". Once launched, it brings a different experience to the personalized customization market. After three years of development, it is now possible to achieve fully automated operation, with a small footprint and simple operation, and has a high market penetration rate.

Textile pigment ink (DTF ink) is suitable for a wide range of materials. It can be said that it is one kind of ink for all fabrics. All fabrics such as cotton, polyester-cotton, polyester-nylon, cotton-nylon, polyester, nylon, silk, etc. can be printed with Jetextile® textile pigment ink (DTF ink).

1. The direct to film (DTF) process is simple and easy to copy, and has strong popularity.

All fashion must be simple and easy to copy. The process of paint heat transfer is that ink is printed directly on the film, color and white are sprayed at the same time, and both dark and light fabric samples can be transferred, which is simple and easy to operate.

2. Low investment threshold and rapid market development.

Film heat transfer equipment (DTF system) mainly includes three major parts: printer, powder shaker, and heat press machine. The overall printing solution cost is low, the investment cost is low. So the whole popularization is developing very fast.

3. Strong flexibility and reduced inventory costs.

In the past, when T‑shirts were sold on the market, the finished products often had to be printed in advance and kept in stock. However, now we use the method of heat transfer (DTF printing system). We only need to store the transfer film according to market conditions. When customers place orders, they will be processed into finished T‑shirts. In this way It greatly reduces inventory costs and improves capital turnover rate and usage efficiency. Moreover, new products can be launched in a timely manner according to changes in market popular elements at any time to satisfy a broad customer base and meet the personalized requirements.
