Dupont Case Study - DuPontTM Artistri® DTF Inks Partnering with OEMs to develop winning solutions
Background: Success case in North America with CobraFlex developing a new solution for DTF.
DuPont and CobraFlex partnered to create a new DTF system as a viable production solution. Therefore, as a US-based OEM developing printers for DTF printing, we sought an ink set that could:
• Deliver precise color matching and high print quality
• Maintain consistent print performance
• Extend the expiration window
• Feature inks made in the USA
• Ensure reliable batch-to-batch color consistency
Evidently, from our experience with Chinese ink alternatives in the market, we recognized the need for a superior solution.
Dupont Case Study: Job test – comparison method
Ultimately, CobraFlex and DuPont collaborated to develop a high-performance DTF printing system that meets the demands of professional production. Therefore, by addressing common issues with Chinese ink alternatives, they created a solution that ensures superior color accuracy, consistency, and longevity. Additionally, the team rigorously tested both ink sets under identical conditions to evaluate their performance. Using the same printer, film, powder, and printheads, they analyzed print quality on challenging images selected by the customer. Moreover, an on-site technician profiled both film inks to ensure accurate comparisons and reliable results.
• The printer ran both inks under the same conditions.
• The team loaded the inks according to the manufacturer’s specifications.
• Both inks operated with the same printer, film, powder, and printheads.
• An on-site technician profiled both film inks.
• The team compared images the customer considers most challenging.
