Finding the right screen printing equipment for your business is only part of what goes into running a successful screen printing shop. Screen printing supplies are also needed to maintain and run printing equipment. Do you know what you need to create the optimal work space? Read on as we walk you through the equipment needed for your screen printing business.
Thermal Film
Thermal film eliminates the need to use toner or ink. Loading film is made simple because the film is not super sensitive to light and again, doesn’t require any ink. Simply place your roll of thermal film inside of your textile printer and you’re all set to go!
DTS Ink
DTS ink comes in a packaged, brick form and is melted by your DTS system. It is a wax-based ink that is heavily pigmented to deliver ultimate print quality. One of the best qualities about DTS ink is that it not only melts quickly, but cools and dries rapidly as well! That way, you can touch and handle the screen you need without having to worry about the dry time. DTS ink can increase efficiency and productivity for your print shop.
DTG Ink
DTG ink operates differently from DTS ink. It is important to remember that DTS ink is used for direct-to-screen print machines, while DTG ink is used for printing directly onto the garment. Since this form of ink is going straight to the source of your business, you want to be sure that you have the highest quality DTG ink on hand. Premium inks to use for your print shop should contain no alcohol, offer a short white ink cure time, and have high coverage along with intense durability. Some of the reasons you want to opt for better DTG ink is to ensure that your prints come out sharp and defined, easily washable, and flexible enough for everyday wear.
Cartridge Ink
For pre-press print solutions such as the FREEStyler, using an excess of print supplies is not necessary. For the FREEStyler, cartridge inks are a must. The FREEStyler requires up to four black cartridges that contain UV light blocking ink, specially formulated for the FREEStyler. Cartridge ink is water soluble, holds small halftone dots, and produces fine details better than other inks on the market.
Along with the benefits of using cartridge ink for the FREEStyler, this particular print solution also means you no longer need film to complete your print project! Save time and money by considering a simple DTS printer like the FREEStyler for your print shop.
