What is the difference between ordinary sublimation ink and high light resistance sublimation ink?
Typically, if using regular sublimation ink, we might see a significant fading of cyan first, followed by black, magenta, and yellow within 30 days. In the last 10 years, our printing room has provided paper that has been printed with high light resistance sublimation ink, which the customer transfers to metal by himself, and it can last for 10 years outside. So, the sublimation ink lasts that long. If you print it on synthetic fabric, such as solution-dyed acrylic with high light resistance, the image can last for more than 10 years.

(One). What is a DTF ink? Is it a normal pigment ink?
Product introduction of DTF ink
DTF (direct to film) printing ink is a kind of special pigment ink. If you use normal pigment ink on DTF printing, it will not work well. This kind of DTF ink has very good adhesion with cotton textile, and it has special components to make good flexibility. DTF ink has very wide compatibility with different textile types. It has a very big market in the clothes market.
The use process of DTF ink
(Two). What is needed for a DTF printing? What do you need for DTF printing?
A water-based printer with good function in printing on film.
A shake powder and baker equipment,
DTF ink,
PET film,
Hot melt powder.
Tools and materials needed for DTF printing
(Three). How to evaluate a DTF ink?
The fluency of white ink. We can print 10 square meters, in 100% ink droplets, to get less than 5 pin breaks.
The fluency of CMYK and other colours. We can print 10 square meters, in 100% ink droplets, to get less than 5 pin breaks.
When the printer is holding from working, how long can it do, to keep the ink printing out the all nozzle hole without cleaning? Need more than 0.5 hours.
How is white ink coverage in 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%. White ink is good with strong covering power, and not good with weak covering power.
Will white ink appears a little blue or yellow? It should be pure white.
How flexible is white ink on stretch? The more flexible the ink, the better.7.
Is the white grainy? It’s not good to have a grainy feel, but it’s good to be flat.
White wrinkled, peeling is not good, fine and smooth is very good.
The compatibility of white ink and film: It is good when white ink can adapt to more kinds of films; it is not good if it can only adapt to a few kinds of PET films.
Surface effect of hot melt powder after hot melting
The compatibility of CMYK colours ink and film.
If white ink flow ink or water on the film, which is not good white ink, or not good compatible on white and other colours.
Printing environment temperature and humidity range. The larger, the better. Normal operating temperature: 20-30℃, Operating humidity:40-60%.
What is the colour of the pictures? Is it bright? Are the colours a wide gamut? Are the colours true colours?
Can the colour block of each colour be pure and clean and true? If there is any ripple. Mean ink is not compatible with the film. Or printer waveform does not match the ink.
If the printed picture gets oiled surface after several days? It means ink with more oil, or the inside of the ink layer is not totally dried. Can adjust the baker equipment to avoid this.
What is the colourfastness to dry rub, wet rub and high-temperature washing? Normally, 4-5 grade is good for clothes standard.

(Four). If you want to know how to evaluate PET film, hot melt powder, shake and baker machine, and printers for DTF printing, you can message us.
DTF textile pigment ink works on textile, especially on a cotton T-shirt, which is upgraded from silkscreen and DTG ink. Bright, high wash resistance, soft.
DTF pigment ink can perfectly print on cotton T-shirts, especially black ones.
And in theory, DTF printer ink can be used on almost all fabrics, cotton, polyester, canvas, denim ETC.
By dtf textile pigment ink printing, the hand feels of the printed T-shirt is soft, with good stretchability and resilience.
There is a shortage of silkscreen printing: need to make the plate, labor cost high, speed slow, not precision, cost per color, not colorful, pollute.
The traditional screen printing process
DTF textile pigment ink printing compares DTG (Direct to garment)
DTG (Direct to garment) ink is digital printing, no need to make the plate, less labor, less time cost, very precision, and more colors do not increase the cost. But the shortage is: not bright enough, wash resistance is weak.
What’s the difference between DTF ink and DTG ink?
DTG pigment ink printing for T-shirts is an old technology but had not had a big market share for years. DTF technology almost solved all problems that DTG has. It solved not bright enough color, not good wash resistance.
Though the hand feel of DTF is a little bit more, it will go better if choose the best ink and hot melt powder, and it can be improved step by step.
T-shirt printing is a huge market, especially pure cotton, especially black pure cotton T-shirts (Before, no technology solved well how to print a soft and bright pure cotton black T-shirt).
DTG printing
DTF textile pigment ink(Direct to film)
DTF (Direct to film) ink is improved from DTG ink, it has all advantages of DTG ink, and improved its shortage. DTF ink is very bright and has high wash resistance and high scratch resistance. Only you need to choose a good quality hot melt powder and make film and powder and ink perfect matches.
SUPERINKS works out a whole solution for DTF ink and offers to match hot melt powder and PET film.
What is DTF ink? What ink is used for direct film?
DTF printer ink (direct to film) is a kind of special pigment ink designed for cotton fabrics and can expand to many different substrates.
It has been a new technology since March 2020 and spread promptly. It perfectly replaced a big part of DTG T-shirt printing.
DTF’s working principle is: print on a film with coating on its surface, the coating carried ink well. Firstly print the colorful picture with CMYK and other colors, and then print a layer of white ink. Then it is shipped to a machine, which can spread “hot melt powder” on the wet surface of the printed picture, and then bake it to dry. Then you can roll it up to send to another workshop, or you can cut one piece of the picture, and then heat and press the picture, it will transfer from film to a fabric.
The following video shows what is DTF printer ink:
No, DTF ink is not same as DTG ink. Though both inks are pigment inks, they are different types of pigment ink. DTF’s processes are different from DTG, and the working principles are different too. The final effect is different either: DTF printing T-shirt is more bright, better color resistance. DTG printing T-shirt has a softer hand feeling.

Digital printing materials, which fabric is best for digital printing?
Is all sublimation ink the same? Is Epson compatible with sublimation ink?
You need special ink for sublimation. Not all sublimation ink is the same, there is a different density for different types of sublimation ink, and in different models, different suppliers’ ink has different color tones and different stability. You can not use any kind of sublimation ink, you have to use match ink. Tell the supplier what printer and head you use, what process of printing you do, what kind of fabric you do, and what application, and then you can get a matching ink. Epson is compatible with sublimation ink. Also Roland and Mimaki.
HP stitch s500 is sublimation ink printing too, but its head uses heat bubble technology, which different system from Japanese printers and Chinese printers.
What is the difference between sublimation ink and regular ink?
Can you switch from regular ink to sublimation ink?
Sublimation ink is a kind of water-based safe ink that only shows its beautiful color after heat, before heat the color of the ink is dark and old. This kind of ink will have a chemical reaction while heating from paper to fabric, after the chemical reaction, the color gets bright and firmly fixed on the fabric without hand feel. Normal ink doesn’t meet that chemical reaction.
You can switch a printer from regular ink to sublimation ink, as long as totally cleans the regular ink, and the printer and printhead match the sublimation ink needs.

What’s the difference between DTF ink and DTG ink?
DTG ink printing for T-shirts is an old technology but had not had a big market share for years. DTF technology almost solved all problems that DTG has. It solved not bright enough color, not good wash resistance. Though the hand feel of DTF is a little bit more, it can be improved step by step. T-shirt printing is a huge market, especially pure cotton, especially black pure cotton T-shirts (Before, no technology solved well how to print a soft and bright pure cotton black T-shirt).
We have DTG ink too, you can inquiry us if you are interested.
