Why Can Low-Quality Consumables Cause More Printing Problems?

Low-quality DTF consumables may have unstable ink viscosity, poor pigment dispersion, uneven film coating, or inconsistent powder particle sizes. These problems can affect the entire printing and transfer process, resulting in issues such as printhead clogging, ink bleeding, gray or dull colors, incomplete powder shaking, cracking after stretching or washing, and poor transfer results.

Using good-quality consumables can help improve printing stability, transfer quality, and the durability of finished products.

Common Troubleshooting Tips

 Ink bleeding and fuzzy edges

Possible causes: Unbalanced ink viscosity or uneven ink absorption of the transfer film.

Frequent printhead clogging and broken lines

Possible causes: Poor-quality white ink or severe white ink settling.

Pattern damage or missing areas when peeling the film

Possible cause: Improper release force of the transfer film.

The transferred design feels too stiff

Possible causes: The release layer of the transfer film transfers onto the design, or the hot melt powder is too coarse or contains too much filler.

Peeling, cracking, or falling off after washing

Possible causes: Poor elasticity of the ink resin or low-quality hot melt powder with excessive filler.

 Particles or bumps on the surface of the transferred design

Possible causes: Inconsistent powder particle sizes or incomplete powder removal during the powdering process.

 Partial powder loss on large-area prints

Possible causes: Insufficient ink drying or excessive silicone oil on the transfer film.
