When it comes to selecting your next batch or one of AGP&TEXTEK's DTF printers, there's always a special but fundamental parameter that everyone has probably noticed. "Pass". And you can also see a list of different configurations like 6Pass, 8Pass, 12Pass and even 16Pass that almost every DTF printer would have. But what does this mean? Does it affect the overall performance of the DTF printer? The answer is "100% positive". Now let's unravel the mystery of "Pass".

In short, "pass" is the process of how many times each pixel or spot of the design has been printed. 4Pass means that each spot must be printed a total of 4 times to be complete. For example, TEXTEK T30 DTF printer has 2 speed options, 6PASS and 8PASS. 6Pass means it takes 6 times to print each spot of a pattern. 8Pass means it will print 8 times to complete each spot of a pattern.

The Higher the Number, the Better the Quality

The more accurate the final print, the better product you can make. The higher the number of passes, the more times each spot is printed to improve accuracy and color vibrancy. The end result won't be disappointing because the final print could be almost identical to what you see on the computer. If your business requires high accuracy, you may want to try a higher pass printer, such as the AGP F30 UV DTF Printer, which can switch to 12 pass printing mode.

The Higher the Number, the Lower the Speed

Because each spot takes more time to print, the only downside to a higher "pass" might be a lower speed. In order for each spot to print perfectly, it needs more passes to allow the ink to express every detail and color variation virally and jump off the page. If your business or work is in a hurry or you need to print a lot, you probably don't need this. However, if your business is focused on small items where intricate and delicate patterns are the unique selling point. You won't regret giving it a try.
 

Conclusion

So that's it. "Pass" is a technical term in printing technology and the DTP printer market. Learning what it means will help you understand what kind of printer you really need to boost your business.
