AIN Sediment-Free White Ink: Efficient DTF Printing Solution

With the rapid development of DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing, white ink, as a key consumable, directly impacts print quality, equipment stability, and operating costs. However, traditional white ink has long suffered from a common problem: sedimentatiaon, which significantly restricts improvements in printing efficiency.

AIN Sediment-Free White Ink,with its innovative technology and outstanding performance, has not only become a new choice and new standard for high-end DTF high-efficiency printing, but also the first choice for the majority of printing users.

Why does white ink settle? The shortcomings of traditional ink

White ink is prone to sedimentation because its core component, titanium dioxide (TiO₂), is an inorganic mineral particle with a specific gravity approximately 1.2-1.3 times that of water. Even after fine grinding, the particles will still settle due to gravity.

Furthermore, as the particles move and collide in water, they attract each other, agglomerating into larger particles that ultimately form a "muddy" sediment.

Problems caused by traditional white ink precipitation:

1. Equipment loss and maintenance pressure：Sedimentation can easily clog the nozzle, leading to frequent cleaning, downtime for maintenance, and even damage. High maintenance costs, especially in the European and American markets, further exacerbate the burden.

2. Ink waste and high cost：A large amount of white ink is wasted during the cleaning process, and the cost of consumables is high in the long term.

3. Insufficient stability and shelf life：Traditional white ink uses "wrapping technology" to wrap particles with polymer materials to delay precipitation, which can only provide temporary relief but cannot eliminate the problem.

AIN sediment-free white ink: How to achieve “sediment-free”?

AIN No Sediment White Pigment Ink, with its innovative technology, has achieved a breakthrough from "passive delay" to "active anti-settling," becoming the preferred choice for high-end DTF printing users. Its core advantages stem from two major technological innovations:

Technology 1: Dual Stability Mechanism

• AIN offers dual protection through “new packaging + charge repulsion”. It wraps titanium dioxide with a stable material, giving particles the same charge to repel each other and prevent collision and agglomeration.

• This “dynamic balance” significantly slows down sedimentation and eliminates the conditions for sedimentation to form at the root.

Technology 2: Precise particle control

• AIN uses nano-grinding and ultrasonic dispersion to control the particle size of titanium dioxide to be consistent and reduce the difference in sedimentation rate.

• The dispersant and stabilizer have been repeatedly optimized to improve the long-term storage stability of the ink.

Core advantages of AIN precipitation-free white ink: high efficiency, stability, and compatibility

1. Ultra-long stability

AIN's sediment-free white ink has an 18-month warranty. After storage for more than a year, only a small amount of "poplar-like" sediment will form, which will dissolve with a light shake and will not affect the use at all. This is different from the "mud-like" sediment of traditional white ink.

2. Efficient standby

Traditional white ink requires daily cleaning, while AIN's sediment-free white ink supports 17 days of shutdown and standby. Restarting only requires routine cleaning, eliminating the need to worry about printhead issues and reducing the risk of high maintenance costs for customers in Europe and the United States.

3. Compatible with multiple scenarios

AIN's sediment-free white ink is stable and compatible with mainstream printheads such as Epson 4720, i3200, i1600, and XP600, as well as a variety of fabrics such as cotton, linen, canvas, leather, nylon, and blends, meeting the diverse needs of clothing printing, home decoration, and personalized customization.

4. Reduce costs and increase efficiency

Long-term use of AIN sediment-free white ink can reduce cleaning, save consumables, extend the life of the printhead, and reduce the overall cost of both consumables and equipment.

AIN slow precipitation white ink: cost-effective choice

To meet the cost-performance balance needs of different users, AIN has launched a low-sedimentation white ink as a supplement to the zero-sediment series:

Note: Although slow-settling white ink is called "slow-settling", it is far superior to traditional white ink: it has 2/3 less sedimentation, is evenly distributed after shaking, is cost-effective, and is a high-quality upgrade choice.

Guide to Replacing White Ink: Prevent Cross-Contamination and Ensure Performance

If you are switching from traditional white ink to AIN sediment-free white ink, you need to clean it thoroughly to avoid cross-contamination and performance degradation.

1. Empty the old ink: Pour the original white ink back into the container to avoid mixing.

2. Thorough cleaning: Rinse the ink cartridge, ink tube, filter, ink bag, and nozzle with pure water;

3. Drain moisture: Use a vacuum pump or syringe to drain the remaining m oisture from the pipeline.

4. Add new ink: Shake the AIN white ink without sediment, inject it into the ink cartridge, and fill the ink path.

5. Inspection and debugging: Execute the cleaning procedure and print the nozzle inspection chart until the status is normal.

Note: It is strictly forbidden to directly mix white inks of different systems; otherwise, it may cause flocculation, clogging, and other problems.
