DTF Inks

DTF Inks

DTF (Direct-to-Film) Inks are specialized pigment-based inks designed for printing vibrant, durable designs on PET film, which are later transferred onto fabrics using heat press technology. These inks provide excellent color accuracy, high stretchability, and long-lasting prints, making them ideal for custom T-shirt printing, sportswear, and merchandise production.

Types of DTF Inks

DTF printers use a combination of CMYK and White inks:

1. CMYK Inks (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) – Used for creating full-color designs.

2. White Ink – Acts as a base layer, ensuring vibrant colors on dark or colored fabrics.

Some DTF printers also support fluorescent (neon) inks for glow effects and high-visibility prints.
