STS Inks launches new ink for direct-to-film printing

STS Inks, a global leader in the wide-format, industrial, and household inkjet ink market, announces the launch of its new Light Magenta and Light Cyan inks for Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing. The new colours allow more true-to-life images by providing better transitions and sharper, more vibrant, and exact colors in transferred images, which are beneficial for producing both gradients and skin tones on garments.

According to a report published by Grandview Research, the global custom t-shirt printing market size was valued at USD $3.64 billion in 2020. The research also reports the market is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7% from 2021 to 2028. Those printing companies experiencing the rapid growth are also seeing an exponential increase in requests for photographic images to be printed on garments. In DTF printing, Light Cyan and Light Magenta are considered blending colours rather than full colours.
