Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much ink do I need per transfer?
A: Coverage depends on design size and ink coverage. A 1-liter bottle can produce approximately 200-300 transfers depending on design complexity and color saturation.

A: Yes! For full-color CMYK printing, you need all 5 colors (Black, White, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow). White is essential for printing on dark garments.
Q: Is this ink compatible with my DTF printer?
A: Yes! Our ink works with all DTF printers including Epson, Brother, Ricoh, Prestige, and modified printers. Compatible with DX5, DX7, i3200 printheads.

Q: How should I store DTF ink?
A: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep bottles upright and sealed when not in use. Shake gently before use. Shelf life is 12 months when stored properly.
Q: Can I use this ink on dark garments?
A: Yes! The white ink provides an opaque underbase that makes colors pop on dark fabrics. Print white first, then CMYK colors on top.
Q: What's the difference between pigment and dye ink?
A: Pigment ink (like ours) sits on top of fabric fibers and is more durable and wash-resistant. Dye ink absorbs into fibers but fades faster. DTF requires pigment ink.
