Digital printing has revolutionized the textile and signage industries, enabling fast, high-quality, and cost-efficient customization. But behind every flawless print lies one critical factor: the ink. Whether you're a seasoned business or planning to start a printing shop, understanding the ink requirements for digital printing is essential to ensure smooth operation and vibrant, long-lasting results.
Digital printers use a range of inks depending on the application and substrate. These include dye-based, pigment-based, solvent, eco-solvent, UV-curable, and DTF inks. Among them, DTF (Direct-to-Film) ink stands out in garment decoration for its versatility and brilliant color output.
DTF ink is formulated specifically for textile printing. It delivers bright, saturated colors with strong resistance to washing and wear. The inclusion of white ink allows prints to stand out vividly on both light and dark fabrics. AGP’s DTF ink range includes nine main colors—black, blue, red, light red, light blue, fluorescent red, fluorescent yellow, and white—giving you wide creative flexibility.
At AGP, we also offer free color customization, helping you bring unique design concepts to life with precision.
Poor-quality ink can lead to significant problems: printhead clogs, inconsistent color density, faded images, and even equipment damage. To ensure stability, digital printing inks must meet high standards of light resistance, water resistance, chemical resistance, and adhesion.
Using original high-quality ink, like that from AGP, ensures smoother ink flow, better color accuracy, and reduced printer downtime. This is especially crucial when working with heat transfer methods that require durability and visual consistency.
Not all inks are suitable for all printheads. Using incompatible ink can damage printhead structures and degrade image quality. Even with the wide compatibility of modern piezoelectric heads, it’s vital to pair them with ink designed for that specific technology.
Moreover, different media types—such as PVC, leather, TPU, or reflective films—also demand compatible ink formulations to achieve optimal print quality and adhesion.
A quality heat transfer solution should offer more than just color—it should solve production pain points:
Print on any fabric: Unlike direct injection printing, heat transfer printing isn’t limited by fabric type.
Color consistency: What you see on screen is what you get on fabric.
No weeding or laminating: Speeds up production and reduces labor.
Lightweight and breathable prints: Ideal for fashion, sportswear, and workwear.
Environmentally friendly: Todojet’s ink uses eco-safe materials that retain vivid colors after repeated washing.
Low investment, high return: Suitable for small business owners with limited space or budget.
At Todojet, we don’t just manufacture DTF printers—we provide a complete printing solution. Our inks are engineered for smooth performance and consistent color output. Combined with our DTF printers and the C7090 intelligent cutting machine—perfect for flexible materials like TPU, kraft paper, and reflective film—we help you build an efficient and high-quality production line.
