DTF Ink flowing/running/dripping/leaking can be a common problem when printing with DTF ink. This issue can be caused by various factors, here are some steps you can take to solve the problem of DTF Ink flowing/running/dripping/leaking:
1. Check the Film is Damp
You can try to print the same pattern with a new film at the same settings to check if your film is good. Also, make sure your printer’s front heating function is on, it helps the ink to dry.
2. Check the Ink Loading
Recommend printing with 60-70% white ink. We know that some customers want to print 100% white to get good coverage, in this case, there is a possibility of ink+flowing problems.
It is recommended to try to decrease white ink loading, if it is not possible, you can try YIQIA DIGITAL Double-sided DTF Film which has perfect ink absorption ability.
3. Clean the Print Head
If the print head is clogged or dirty, it can cause the ink to flow or drip. You can use a cleaning solution or a lint-free cloth to clean the print head. It is essential to perform regular maintenance on your printer to prevent clogs and ensure that the ink flows correctly.
4. Check the Ink Quality
Ensure that you are using high-quality DTF ink like YIQIA DIGITAL DTF INK. Poor-quality ink can cause flow problems and affect the overall print quality. YIQIA DIGITAL DTF INK is specially formulated to provide excellent results and minimize flow issues.
5. Check the Ink Shelf Life
