| Printhead match | Use ink made for your printhead type to avoid clogs. |
| Color profile | Use the RIP profile built for the ink to get correct color. |
| Wash durability | Good DTF ink plus a correct powder cure survives repeated washing. |

Check the date on the bottle. Keep ink sealed, cool and out of sunlight, and shake white ink daily so pigment does not settle.
DTF ink is water-based pigment ink made for direct-to-film printers: CMYK colors plus white. It prints onto PET film, is coated with adhesive powder, and is heat pressed onto fabric.
DTF white ink is printed over the colors on the film so it becomes the base layer under the design after transfer. It keeps colors bright on dark garments. White ink is pigment-heavy, so shake or circulate it daily to prevent settling and clogs.
