Dissolved air in ink is a primary cause of unstable droplet formation, missing dots, and head clogging in piezo inkjet print heads. The degassing process removes dissolved air before the ink is sealed in the aluminium pack, ensuring stable, consistent printing from the first drop to the last.<\/li>\n<li><strong>White Ink \u2014 The Foundation of All-Fabric Decoration <\/strong><br \/>\nThe White (W) channel in PHT50 is the critical difference between DTF printing and sublimation printing. White ink creates an opaque underbase that allows CMYK colors to appear accurately on dark, colored, or non-white fabric \u2014 exactly as they were designed. Without a white underbase, dark fabrics would absorb or show through the color inks, making accurate color reproduction impossible. PHT50&#8217;s white ink channel is supplied in a dedicated 500 ml pack, separate from the 600 ml CMYK packs, reflecting the higher consumption rate of white ink in DTF production.<\/li>\n<li><strong>CMYK Color Channels \u2014 Vibrant, Accurate Color on Any Fabric<\/strong><br \/>\nThe PHT50 CMYK color inks are formulated as heat transfer pigment inks \u2014 waterproof, wash-resistant, and flexible on fabric after heat pressing. The combination of white underbase and CMYK overprint enables full photographic color reproduction on cotton, poly-cotton, nylon, polyester, and any other fabric type \u2014 achieving results that sublimation printing cannot match on non-polyester substrates.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Differentiated Ink Pack Sizes \u2014 C\/M\/Y\/K vs. White<\/strong><br \/>\nPHT50 is supplied in two pack sizes reflecting actual DTF production consumption ratios: C\/M\/Y\/K at 600 ml each, and White (W) at 500 ml. This differentiation reflects the higher relative consumption of white ink in standard DTF workflows where white is printed at higher density as a full underbase, while CMYK colors are printed at design-specific coverage.<\/li>\n<li><strong>OEKO-TEX ECO PASSPORT Certified \u2014 Certificate No. NEP 2212 <\/strong><br \/>\nPHT50 carries OEKO-TEX ECO PASSPORT certification (Certificate No. NEP 2212), certified through Nissenken Quality Evaluation Center in Japan. The certification confirms that every component of the PHT50 formulation has been assessed against OEKO-TEX&#8217;s restricted substance lists \u2014 covering human health, environmental compliance, and regulatory requirements across all ink channels including the white pigment. This is required by international fashion brands and textile retailers with formal Restricted Substances List (RSL) compliance programmes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mimaki&#8217;s First DTF-Specific Ink \u2014 Purpose-Built Engineering<\/strong><br \/>\nPHT50 is explicitly positioned as Mimaki&#8217;s first ink developed exclusively for DTF use \u2014 distinguishing it from general-purpose or adapted inks used in some DTF systems. Purpose-built formulation means the ink chemistry, viscosity, surface tension, and drying profile are all optimised for the DTF film printing process and the TxF series print heads, rather than being adapted from another application.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div>\n<div class=\"overview-tagline\">Mimaki PHT50 : Heat Transfer Pigment Ink \u2014 DTF Exclusive Use<\/div>\n<div class=\"overview-tagline\">Mimaki&#8217;s First DTF-Specific Ink | CMYK + White | Aluminium Pack Degassed Design | OEKO-TEX Certified<\/div>\n<div class=\"overview-title\">OVERVIEW<\/div>\n<div class=\"overview-description\">Mimaki PHT50 is Mimaki&#8217;s first ink developed specifically and exclusively for DTF (Direct to Film) printing \u2014 a dedicated heat transfer pigment ink engineered to print directly on a DTF-specific PET film, which is then hot-melt powdered and heat-treated to create a sheet layer ready for transfer onto virtually any fabric. Unlike sublimation inks which require polyester substrates, PHT50 enables full-color decoration on cotton, poly-cotton blends, nylon, and dark-colored garments \u2014 opening the full range of fashion apparel and custom garment decoration to Mimaki&#8217;s industrial DTF printing technology. Carrying OEKO-TEX ECO PASSPORT certification (Certificate No. NEP 2212), PHT50 meets the textile safety requirements of international fashion brands and garment retailers with formal Restricted Substance Lists. PHT50 is supplied through Insight Within for all Mimaki TxF series DTF printer owners across India.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"overview-actions\"><button class=\"btn_c btn-primary_c getaquotelink\">Get a Quote<\/button><br \/>\n<!--<a class=\"btn_c btn-secondary_c\" href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Download Datasheet<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n--><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":18211,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[60],"product_cat":[64,130],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-17786","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_brand-mimaki","7":"product_cat-consumables","8":"product_cat-mimaki-inks","10":"first","11":"instock","12":"virtual","13":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/insightwithin.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/17786","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/insightwithin.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/insightwithin.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightwithin.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18211"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/insightwithin.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17786"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightwithin.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=17786"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightwithin.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=17786"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightwithin.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=17786"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
