What is DTF Ink?
DTF ink is a specially formulated pigment ink used in Direct to Film printing. Unlike other printing methods, DTF uses a heat transfer process to imprint designs on a wide variety of surfaces, making it incredibly versatile. DTF inks are renowned for their ability to produce bright, vivid, and durable colors that bond seamlessly with the transfer film and ultimately the substrate, whether it's a t-shirt, bag, or other materials.

Types of DTF Inks at DTFPrinterUSA
Standard DTF Printer Inks
Our Standard DTF inks are formulated for use with conventional DTF printers. These inks are ideal for creating sharp, detailed designs on fabrics, bags, and more. They come in an array of colors that include the standard CMYK palette plus white ink. White DTF ink is especially critical for ensuring that prints on darker fabrics stand out vividly.
UV DTF Printer Inks
For those using UV DTF printers, our specially crafted UV DTF inks are perfect for transferring designs onto hard surfaces like glass, metal, or plastic. These UV inks offer the added benefit of being cured instantly by ultraviolet light, which means quicker production times and prints that are resistant to scratches and water damage.
UV DTF inks are widely used for high-quality logo designs, promotional items, and custom gifts. They provide an even stronger and more durable bond on non-fabric materials, making them ideal for commercial-grade products.
