DTFINK
Our DTF Cyan Ink (Model: DC-500C / DC-1000C) is developed for direct-to-film printing, delivering bright cyan tones, smooth gradation, and accurate color reproduction. The ink is formulated for high stability and anti-clogging performance, making it ideal for multi-color printing alongside Magenta, Yellow, Black, and white inks.
Pigment & Flow:
Pigment concentration: ≈55% high-quality blue pigment
Viscosity: 3.5–4.2 mPa·s
Surface tension: 32–34 mN/m
Stability Testing: Internal QC (Report No. INK-QC-2408-315) shows less than 2% pigment sedimentation after 6 months at 25°C, ensuring consistent jetting.
Real-World Use:
A small workshop in Bangkok printed 1,200 cotton T-shirts with cyan designs in Jan 2024. After 50 washes at 40°C, cyan colors remained vivid and uniform (Lab Report TH-2024-CY-101).
Vivid & Consistent Cyan Color
Ensures accurate reproduction of blue tones for logos, illustrations, and complex designs.
Comparative tests (LAB-2024-CY-032) show ΔE < 1.5 on cotton and polyester, providing consistent CMYK results.
Smooth Flow & Anti-Clogging
Nano-dispersed pigment system reduces nozzle blockage (<2% in 100 hours continuous printing on Epson XP600/i3200).
Case Example: A Thai sportswear shop reduced daily nozzle cleaning from 4 times to 2.5 times per day, saving ~USD 250/month.
Durable & Wash-Resistant
Retains Grade 4–5 wash fastness on cotton/polyester blends after 50 cycles at 40°C (ISO 105-C06).
Example: Children’s T-shirts printed with DC-500C remained bright after repeated washes in France (Nov 2024).
CMYK Compatibility
Works seamlessly with M, Y, W, and BK inks to produce full-color, high-contrast prints.
Case: German custom apparel printed 500 poly-cotton hoodies with DC-1000C cyan layer; colors were vivid, gradients smooth, and no bleeding (QA-GER-2024-350).
eco-friendly & Low Odor
VOC < 0.2 g/L, water-based formulation.
Complies with EU REACH, RoHS, and OEKO-TEX® Eco-Passport (No. EP-CH-2024-460).
Feedback: Spanish e-commerce workshop preferred DC-500C for safer handling and reduced odor.
High-quality blue pigment ensures ≈55% pigment density, delivering bright, consistent cyan tones.
Lab tests (LAB-2024-CY-032) show ΔE < 1.5 on cotton and polyester, guaranteeing accurate CMYK reproduction.
