What are Fluorescent Colors?

DTF printers need to use fluorescent ink to print fluorescent colors.
Fluorescent ink has fluorescent agents, which produce fluorescent effects when exposed to ultraviolet light (sunlight, fluorescent lamps, and mercury lamps are more common), emitting white light, making the color look dazzling.
Fluorescent colors absorb and reflect light more than ordinary or traditional colors.Therefore, their pigments are brighter and more vivid than ordinary colors. Fluorescent colors, standard terminology, are also called neon colors.

Step-by-Step Guide to DTF fluorescent printing

Step 1: The first step of the process is creating the design on to computer.

Step 2: The next step is all about setting up the DTF Printer and loading it with fluorescent inks. Selecting the correct fluorescent inks is also crucial in this step.

Step 3: The third step concerns preparing the transfer film. You must ensure that the film is clean and free of dust particles. Any ignorance in this regard can directly impact the quality of the print.

Step 4: Print your design onto the printing firm. For this purpose, you can make use of a garment printer.

Step 5: The next step is the application of the DTF Printing powder. The DTF printing powder ensures that the print sticks to the garment or any other substance perfectly during the transfer process. It also ensures strong adhesiveness. Make sure to apply the powder to the film in an even manner.

Step 6: With the powder shaker, the printed PET film goes through dusting powder, shaking powder, and curing to get the finished product.

Step 7: In the next step, you transfer the design from the film to the substrate. Implementing this step requires you to either use a heat press or transfer the design to the substrate (primarily t-shirts) and then peel the film off.

Remember, if you want to print high-quality fluorescent color prints, you need to choose high-quality fluorescent inks. Using inferior inks will cause the pattern to break and affect its quality.

water-based pigment inks are considered the best choice for DTF printing. Not only do they produce high-quality prints, but they also last longer.

Advantages of Printing Fluorescent Colors with DTF Printers

High-Quality Prints
