100ml Dtf inks

100ml DTF inks, which are available in Kenya are water-based pigment inks known for high color density, excellent wash fastness, and compatibility with most Epson-based printheads. Key specifications focus on their chemical properties for durability and reliable performance. General Specifications Ink Type: Water-based pigment ink. Colors: Typically available in Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, and White. Some brands may offer additional options like light colors or fluorescent inks. Capacity: 100 ml bottles. Composition: A mix of pigments, resins, and adhesive components. Environmental: Non-toxic, eco-friendly, and often OEKO-TEX100 certified for safety. Technical Properties Specific technical properties can vary slightly between manufacturers, but general ranges include: Property Specification Viscosity (White Ink) 3.5 – 6 mPa·s (at 22°C) Viscosity (Color Ink) ~4.0 cps ± 0.5 (at 25°C) pH 8.0 – 9.2 Density (White Ink) 1.10 – 1.20 g/ml Density (Color Ink) 1.02 – 1.09 g/ml Surface Tension 26 - 40 nM/m (varies by type and measurement method) Particle Size (CMYK) D50: 80-200nm Particle Size (White) D50: 200-250nm Performance & Usage Print Quality: Known for high color density, wide color gamut, and excellent saturation. Durability: Prints are wash-resistant and resistant to cracking, peeling, or fading with a high color fastness rating (typically grade 4 or higher for washing and rubbing). Compatibility: Designed for DTF printers using Epson-based printheads (e.g., DX5, DX7, I3200, XP600, 4720, L1800). Material Compatibility: Works well with a variety of fabrics including cotton, polyester, blends, nylon, and leather. Storage & Shelf Life: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight (recommended temperature often 5-25°C or 40-77°F). Shelf life is typically 12 months (some sources say up to 2 years) unopened, but should be used within 3 months after opening for optimal performance.
