500ml DTF Ink Kit | Clog-Preventive, Quick Start For Cotton & Polyester
Absolutely. Our ink is engineered for reliable performance with minimal clogging, significantly reducing the risk of print interruptions for newcomers due to maintenance inexperience. Coupled with clear parameter guidelines, it helps you get up to speed faster, allowing you to focus on creation rather than equipment troubleshooting.
Yes, this is one of our core technical strengths. The white ink uses a high-concentration formula and fine-grinding process, providing excellent coverage. After proper heat transfer, it delivers a solid, bright white base even on black cotton, ensuring colored designs remain vibrant and do not appear dull.
Not at all. Once cured, the ink forms a soft, flexible film that bends and stretches with the fabric. We have specifically optimized the formula to prevent any hardening or stiffening, ensuring the wearing comfort is nearly identical to that of unprinted areas.
Yes, it can. Surface coatings such as silicone oils or water-repellent agents can severely hinder ink adhesion. We strongly recommend performing a simple cleaning test on the fabric before printing, or selecting fabrics without such special finishes, to ensure optimal print durability.
The shelf life is 12 months unopened. After opening, we recommend using it within 6 months for best performance. Always tighten the cap securely and store the bottle in a cool, dark place (ideally between 15-25°C). For long-term storage when not in use, sealing the bottle mouth with plastic wrap can help prevent moisture evaporation or dust contamination.
Yes, it can. This ink demonstrates good adhesion on a variety of both absorbent and non-absorbent materials. For special substrates like leather or shoe surfaces, we recommend conducting a small-area test first. Ensure you use compatible hot-melt powder and apply appropriate heat-press temperature and time to achieve the best durability.
