Dtf ink performance makes a critical difference in final textile quality. At YIQIA DIGITAL, we present DTF Ink Lab #01, testing white ink coverage on dark fabrics. This experiment measures how different white ink formulas affect color vibrancy when printing on dark cotton and polyester under controlled settings.
Test Setup
We evaluated three white ink formulations with these parameters:
White Ink Flow (W): 100%, 80%, 80%
Feathering (F): 100%, 100%, 50%
Curing Temp: 125°C
Heat Press: 145°C for 5 seconds
Results Overview
The test highlights how flow and feathering settings influence ink deposition and color intensity. Formula A delivered consistent underbase, while Formula B and C varied. Clear differences appeared in color pop and durability when applied to dark garments.
Why It Matters
For businesses in apparel customization, textile merchandising, or production, choosing the right white ink underbase is essential. The quality of white layering directly affects color brightness, adhesion, and washability.
Conclusion
Smart print choices save time and material. Don’t miss the next DTF Ink Lab releases for expert guidance and real-world insights.
