What defines DTG inks?
DTG inks are pigment inks, mostly water-based, specially formulated for direct-to-garment printing and applied directly to the textile by inkjet. A suitable viscosity is decisive for a fine droplet size and a brilliant print image.
The typical use of DTG inks is clearly structured:
- The suitable ink is selected according to your printing system
- The ink is inserted into the printer in cartridge or bag form
- The print head applies the ink precisely to the pretreated textile
- After the fixing process, the printed textile is brilliant and wash-resistant
DTG inks thus ideally complement your DTG range and are an important addition to our DTG printing systems.
Why DTG inks are indispensable
DTG inks play an important role for a brilliant and permanent print result. Only with the right ink can extended color reproduction with high wash resistance be achieved.
The most important advantages include:
- Extended color space: Water-based pigment inks for brilliant, detailed color reproduction
- High wash resistance: Wash-resistant up to 60°C depending on type of textile and print settings
- Certified quality: Certifications such as EcoPassport by OekoTex® and GOTS for harmless textiles. Your target market and your certification requirements are decisive for the choice.
- Different container sizes: From compact cartridges to large-volume bags
- Ideal for different systems: Suitable inks for common DTG manufacturer systems
This makes DTG inks indispensable both for smaller runs and for professional series production.
