ECOTEX EPS-DTF35: High-Performance DTF Inks for Textile Printing
ECOTEX EPS-DTF35 Direct To Film (DTF) inks are engineered to deliver exceptional printing results on textiles and rigid surfaces. Their advanced formulation ensures precise printing with vibrant colors, high durability, and perfect adhesion of the thermo-adhesive powder. They are ideal for both custom jobs and mass production runs, offering stable, elastic, and highly reliable industrial-grade performance.
Operational Advantages on Machine
- High Coverage & Anti-Clogging Formulation: The white ink guarantees total opacity in a single pass, while its advanced formulation prevents printhead clogging, ensuring continuous and trouble-free production.
- Post-Transfer Durability and Elasticity: Delivers intense, well-defined colors that strongly resist washing and wear, maintaining excellent elasticity once transferred to the substrate.
- Universal Compatibility & Easy Transfer: Fully compatible with thermo-adhesive powders and a wide variety of textiles (cotton, polyester, blends, lycra, and nylon), facilitating a quick and efficient application process.
