Description
Designed for the following printers:
- SureColor F2000 – DTG
- SureColor F2160 – DTG
Epson’s new UltraChrome DG Ink has been designed for Direct To Garment printing on cotton and cotton blend textiles. It provides a wide Gamut with a high dMax for superior colour with high image intensity. It has been designed to impregnate well with minimal bleed and produces outstanding results on quality fabric. It uses a formulation that is Diethylene Glycol-free for safer handling and does not require special ventilation during printing.
The ink has been formulated specifically for use with Epson DTG printers. Once a garment is printed, it must be fixed in a heat press. Once the process is complete, it results in a finish with a low tack feel that is tough and durable, with good UV/Wash resistance. Ink cartridges come in a choice of sizes to suit different levels of use and cost per print requirements.
When applied and fixed to cotton fabric the ink passes the requirements of the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 for human ecological requirements of Class 1 products for adults, children, and babies up to 36 months. The Oeko-Tex Standard 100 specifies testing criteria for the presence of harmful substances within a textile product. The standard belongs to the International Association for Research and Testing in the field of Textile Ecology (Oeko-Tex).
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Cartridges must be used before the date specified on the packaging and once opened must be used within one year. To ensure consistent output they should be removed daily and shaken vigorously before reinsertion. To ensure reliable mechanical operation, the printer undertakes continuous self-cleaning & ink recycling. Periodically (typically once every six months but may be more or less frequent depending on usage) the printer will instruct the user to remove one or more of the colour ink cartridges and insert cleaning cartridges to perform a full internal clean. The cleaning process is mandatory and will result in purging of all the relevant ink stored inside the machine into the waste tank (remaining ink in the relevant cartridges will be preserved). Before commencement of printing, garments must be fully dried, lint removed and the article flattened. Failure to follow these procedures may result in damage to the printer, invalidation of warranty &/or the terms of a Service pack.
