5 Metres Dtf, Uv, Large Format printer Ink Tubes

Ink tubes for DTF and large format printers, which are available in Kenya are typically available in standard diameters, most commonly with a 3mm outer diameter (OD) and 2mm inner diameter (ID) or a 4mm OD and 3mm ID. The specific size and material depend on the printer model and ink type used. Key Specifications Length: The user requested 5 meters, which is a common length for replacement or bulk ink systems and is widely available. Diameter: The tubes come in different inner diameter (ID) and outer diameter (OD) combinations to match specific printer head requirements and ink flow volumes. Common sizes include 3mm OD x 2mm ID, 4mm OD x 3mm ID, 5mm OD x 3mm ID, and 6mm OD x 4mm ID. Material: Most are made from durable, flexible HTPE resin material (high-toughness polyethylene) that is resistant to wear, corrosion, and aging. Configuration: Tubing is often available in a flat, multi-line format (e.g., 4, 6, or 8 attached tubes) which can be detached as needed to suit the specific printer's damper and ink supply system. Ink Compatibility & Resistance: Tubes are designed to be compatible with a wide range of inks, including DTF, UV, eco-solvent, solvent, water-based, dye, and pigment inks. Tubes intended for solvent and UV inks are often UV-resistant (sometimes black in color to prevent light exposure) and chemically resistant to prevent degradation. Design Features: Many tubes are transparent (or transparent black for UV protection) to allow visual monitoring of ink flow and air bubbles. They are designed to ensure a stable and uninterrupted ink flow from the reservoir to the print head, which is critical for consistent print quality. Always verify the exact inner and outer diameter required by your specific printer model to ensure proper fit and performance.
