FAQ
DTF Ink questions
Need a bigger guide? Visit the DTF Knowledge Hub FAQ.
What are DTF inks used for? +
DTF inks print CMYK colour plus a white underbase onto coated DTF film before powder is applied and the design is heat-pressed onto fabric.
Why is white ink so important in DTF printing? +
White ink creates the underbase that makes colours stand out, especially on dark garments. It also affects opacity, coverage and consistency.
How often should I agitate white ink? +
White ink should be agitated daily or per shift to keep pigment suspended and reduce settling-related print issues.
Do you help match ink with film and powder? +
Yes. TapeTech can help recommend a film, ink and powder combination based on your printer, fabrics and workflow.
Are these inks suitable for Epson-based DTF heads? +
The inks are positioned for common Epson-based DTF head classes such as i3200, 4720, DX5 and XP600 setups. Confirm your exact setup with TapeTech.
Why is my white ink banding? +
Start with a nozzle check, white ink agitation, cap seal health, humidity and profile settings. White ink issues often show first when maintenance is inconsistent.
Do you offer profile or colour guidance? +
Yes. Share your printer model, RIP, film and powder and TapeTech can guide profile selection and baseline settings.
Where can I learn more about DTF ink maintenance? +
Visit the TapeTech DTF Knowledge Hub for ink maintenance, white ink care, storage and troubleshooting guidance.
