When you're aiming for crisp, professional-looking transfers, nothing's more frustrating than blurry banding. This is a common issue for most DTF printing users, manifesting as indistinct, washed-out lines that often appear as ghostly white streaks across your design.
Anyone who's used DTF ink knows that color deviation is one of the most common issues in DTF printing. When most users encounter this problem, they assume it's an issue with the ink or the printer head. Some might even think the ink quality is simply poor.
If you're using direct-to-film (DTF) printing, you may be wondering, Can you mix different brands of DTF inks to save money or utilize leftover ink? While this sounds like a practical idea, we strongly discourage mixing different brands of DTF inks.
Users occasionally encounter problems during the hot pressing process, the two most common being DTF Film Pattern Warpage and DTF Film Pattern Sawtooth.
If you've ever left a printed DTF film sitting too long before heat pressing, you may have noticed a strange oily layer forming on the film’s surface. This issue is commonly referred to as the DTF Film oil return phenomenon.
In DTF printing, roll film back sticking is one of those problems that often catches people off guard. Everything looks great while printing, the film rolls up nicely, but when it’s time to unroll—something’s gone wrong. Parts of the design are stuck, incomplete, or even peeled off. So what’s happening here?
The DTF Film Topical Color Ink White Ink Mixing phenomenon is not a common one. Most people would assume that it is caused by a damaged printer printhead, but perhaps that is not the case.
Have you ever finished a DTF print, only to notice strange, patchy white marks scattered across the design? These aren’t just random defects — they’re what we call Snowflake-like artifacts on DTF film. This issue can make even a well-printed design look inconsistent.
Achieving clean, consistent results is key to providing transfer quality. Sometimes, however, you may notice that certain areas of the film, especially blank or white areas, seem to have some random, flaky powder adhering to them.
If you've ever noticed that the white ink on your DTF (Direct to Film) prints looks slightly tinted or contains color bleed-through, you're likely witnessing what’s known as the Ink Color Mixing Phenomenon on DTF Films.
