Dtf print quality depends on ink stability and performance. At YIQIA DIGITAL, DTF Ink Lab #02 dives deep into 5 different white ink formulations, evaluated for shelf life, print behavior, and final coverage on dark fabrics. This test proves that white ink quality is critical to achieving sharp, vibrant results.
Test Methodology
-
Stored ink charged in measuring cups for 30 days to simulate real storage.
-
Poor-quality inks displayed visible separation and sediment.
-
Before printing, all inks were stirred for 40 minutes using our DTF Ink Anti-Precipitation Device ensuring homogeneity.
Printing Conditions
-
White Ink Flow: 80%
-
Feathering: 100%
-
Same PET film and print design across all samples
Observations
-
Low-quality inks caused buildup in nozzle, bleeding, and inconsistent layering.
-
Premium inks delivered smooth flow, consistent underbase, better adhesion, and clean coverage.
Why This Matters
Choosing high-performance white ink in printing significantly affects final output. Stable ink prevents clogging, ensures good adhesion, and preserves color pop on dark fabrics. For textile decorators, print shop owners, or suppliers looking for professional results, investing in quality is non-negotiable.
