Color bar - the MVP of DTF printing

Color bar is essential tool in DTF printing. It plays a crucial role in preventing printer heads clogging by regularly flushing ink through the heads. This process helps to keep the printer nozzles clear, allowing for consistent ink flow and preventing blockages that can compromise print quality.

It also acts as a visual reference, allowing you to verify that your colors are coming out right and match the intended shades. This is why you can confidently produce prints with the correct color balance, ensuring vibrant and true-to-intended hues in your designs!

The melting process is a critical step in DTF printing. The adhesive powder fuses with the ink to create a seamless transfer. The color bar allows you to monitor this process, ensuring that the ink is melting at the right temperature and adhering perfectly to the DTF film.
