Epson UltraChrome DG Ink – Black 1.5L

Large Format Ink Cartridges

Epson UltraChrome DG Ink was developed for Direct To Garment (DTG) printing. Its primary application is for customisation and value-adding on T-shirts, Polo shirts, jeans and sweats. It can also be used for a range of merchandise and décor applications including tote bags, tea towels, pillow slips, cushions, etc. It can further be used for customisation on specialty items such as caps, hats and shoes (please consult with your dealer on suitability and sourcing of appropriate platens). The ink adheres best to fabric with a moderate-loose weave and high cotton content. It will also work with a range of alternative natural, man-made, and mixed fibre fabrics, however results will vary. It should be noted that ink will generally not adhere to fabric that has a very fine weave, an extremely smooth finish, or has been treated with a water or dirt repellent. Customers are strongly recommended to talk with their dealer about the most appropriate pre-treatment and perform print and wash durability testing prior to commencement of production.

Epson DG Ink supports imaging on the widest range of fabrics. CYMK variants impregnate well while suffering minimal bleed. They feature a wide Gamut and high dMax for output with superior colour and image intensity. After printing the ink must be fixed in a heat press. Once fixed it produces a finish with a low tack feel which is tough and durable, with good UV/Wash resistance. All feature a formulation that is Diethylene Glycol-free for safe operation in a variety of environments without the need for special handling or ventilation. This variant ship in 1.5L pouches for printers that incorporate a compatible bulk ink system.

Epson DG ink meets the requirements of the GOTS ECOCERT standard. When applied to fabric it also meets the Oeko-Tex ECO PASSPORT Standard for human ecological requirements of Class 1 garments worn by adults, children, and babies up to 36 months. Both standards specifies testing criteria for the presence of harmful substances within a textile product with all copyright belonging to the respective provider.
