DTFINK
Our DTF Black Ink (Model: DB-500BK / DB-1000BK) is specifically developed for direct-to-film printing, offering rich black tones, sharp outlines, and smooth ink flow. Unlike standard black inks that may appear grayish on dark fabrics or clog printheads easily, our formulation provides high pigment density (≈68% carbon black), maintaining consistent jetting performance and stable viscosity (3.4–4.0 mPa·s) across long print runs.
Stability Testing: Internal tests (Report No. INK-QC-2408-201) show no sedimentation exceeding 3% after 6 months at 25°C, and print adhesion remains ISO 2409 Grade 5 on cotton, polyester, and leather substrates.
Real-World Use: A small workshop in Ho Chi Minh City printed 1,500 black cotton T-shirts in Feb 2024 using DB-500BK. After 50 washes at 40°C, prints maintained ≥94% optical density (Lab Report VN-2024-BLK-101).
Deep & Rich Black Color
Provides solid, dark underbase and outline definition for all designs. In comparative lab tests (LAB-2024-BK-032), our ink achieved ΔE < 1.3 when printed on black cotton, ensuring consistent deep black results even under high-speed printing.
Smooth Flow & Anti-Clogging
Nano-dispersed pigment system ensures ≤2% nozzle blockage in 100 hours of continuous printing on Epson XP600 and i3200 heads, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs.
Durable & Washable Prints
On 65/35 polyester-cotton blends, prints remained crack-free and retained ≥92% opacity after 50 machine washes (SGS Test No. SGS-TXT-2024-5612).
Wide Compatibility
Works seamlessly with DW White and CMY inks, creating vivid, high-contrast prints across multiple fabric types, from cotton and polyester to leather and coated materials.
eco-friendly & Low Odor
VOC < 0.2 g/L, water-based formulation, compliant with EU REACH and RoHS standards, safe for use in workshops and children’s apparel.
Case Example:
A German custom apparel brand printed 500 poly-cotton hoodies in May 2024. Using DB-1000BK for outlines and black areas, they achieved perfect contrast and sharp details, reducing customer complaints about faded black prints by 95% compared to previous ink suppliers.
Uses ≈68% carbon black pigment for consistent, deep black tones.
Measured ΔE < 1.3 on black cotton fabric (LAB-2024-BK-032), ensuring precise outlines and vivid contrast.
Case Example (Vietnam, Feb 2024): A workshop printed 1,500 black T-shirts using DB-500BK. After 50 washes at 40°C, prints retained ≥94% optical density (Lab Report VN-2024-BLK-101).
Nano-dispersion system maintains particle size D90 ≤ 0.35 μm, reducing nozzle blockage.
Tested for 100 hours continuous printing on Epson XP600 and i3200; clogging < 2%.
Case Example (Thailand, Mar 2024): A small print shop reduced daily nozzle cleaning from 4 times to 2.5 times per day after switching to DB series, saving about USD 300/month in downtime and ink waste.
