DTF machines have specific environmental requirements regarding temperature and humidity in the workplace. The quality of the direct-to-film ink, a consumable in garment printing machines, directly influences the printing outcome. Extreme temperature or humidity levels in the DTF machine's location can impact its performance, making it imperative to consider these factors when choosing a site. Maintaining an optimal indoor temperature around the garment printing machine not only enhances printing results but also extends the lifespan of the DTF hot stamping machine.
Key Considerations for Room Temperature with DTF Transfer Ink:
Particular attention is warranted, particularly during hot weather like summer. Many DTF machine manufacturers opt to use air conditioning while operating. This is because DTF printing machines emit heat during operation. Thus, air conditioning is adjusted slightly to regulate the processing plant's indoor temperature. However, excessively low temperatures can also affect the DTF hot stamping machine's ink. The impact of temperature on ink alters its viscosity, which is a physical occurrence. Although the form changes, the fundamental nature of the ink remains unchanged.
Regarding DTF printing ink storage temperature, kenteerfilm recommends a range of 10℃-35℃ to prevent ink freezing and alterations. The printer nozzle's size is inversely proportional to resolution, necessitating higher ink quality for smaller nozzles. Therefore, using ink supplied by the DTF printer manufacturer is advisable, avoiding subpar alternatives.
Addressing Ink Viscosity Changes due to Temperature:
Gradually warm the original ink in a warmer setting to restore its initial state. In urgent situations, external warming with boiling water can be employed. For optimal ink printing performance, maintaining a working environment of approximately 27°C for the DTF transfer printing machine is recommended.
Prior to pouring ink into the cartridge, it's advisable to evenly shake the ink. Agitating the ink facilitates thorough amalgamation of any settled sediments into the ink. For further inquiries, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at kenteerfilm!
