Frequently Asked Questions

Are extended-gamut ink sets worth it for DTF?

Extended-gamut ink sets, which add extra channels like orange, green, or red, allow for neon hues and specific Pantone colors that are difficult to achieve with standard CMYK. However, their performance varies significantly by manufacturer, and it is highly recommended that you test samples before deciding if the extra cost and complexity are justified for your specific production needs.

What is the best way to prevent DTF film from jamming at the exit of the printer?

Exit jams are usually caused by the leading edge of the film curling upward and catching on printer components. You can prevent this by adjusting the angle of your output tray to ensure the film feeds downward and stays flat. Additionally, always check the transition area for obstructions and ensure your rollers are clean.

My printed designs are coming out diagonal instead of straight; how can I fix this?

Film skewing is typically a mechanical alignment issue. It is often caused by uneven tension from a poorly wound film roll or misaligned feed guides that are not set to the exact width of your media. To troubleshoot, perform a 'blank feed test' without printing and adjust your feed guides until the film tracks perfectly parallel to the entry path.

No, a sublimation printer cannot be used for DTF printing in its native configuration. Sublimation uses dye-based ink designed to bond with polyester fibers, while DTF requires specialized pigment-based ink and an adhesive powder to bond with various fabric types.
