How Does the Print Head Work in DTF Printing?
The print head in a DTF printer operates on a principle similar to that of an inkjet printer, with a few crucial distinctions. Let's break it down in simple terms:
First off, DTF printers utilize piezoelectric print heads. These print heads rely on electrical signals to generate pressure waves, which then propel ink droplets from the nozzles onto the transfer film. This method is particularly effective because piezoelectric print heads are more durable and less likely to clog compared to the thermal print heads commonly found in inkjet printers.
Another key difference is the type of ink used. DTF printing employs a water-based ink mixed with a special adhesive. This adhesive is what allows the ink to stick to the transfer film and subsequently to the fabric when heat pressed.
Here's a step-by-step look at the process:
You start by sending a digital image to the printer.
The printer's RIP (Raster Image Processor) takes this image and converts it into a dot pattern.
As the print head moves across the transfer film, it ejects ink droplets based on the RIP's dot pattern instructions.
These ink droplets quickly dry on the transfer film.
Next, you heat press the transfer film onto the fabric.
The heat from this process activates the adhesive in the ink, ensuring it firmly attaches to the fabric fibers.
