Rochester, NY — Eastman Kodak Company announced the launch of a new Ink System for Film-to-Fabric printing projects.
The Film-toFabric ink system can be used with most inkjet printers. It consists of three components: powder, film and ink. The benefits of DTF, like Kodak’s FTF (Film-to-Fabric) system, include the ability to print on a wide variety of fabrics (e.g. Natural fabrics: Polyester, nylon, rayon and blends; less hardware investment for startup; more flexibility to take on customer printing projects.
Kodak’s film-to-fabric ink system includes KODACOLOR powder, KODACOLOR film, and ink specially designed for use in a film-to-fabric application. Customers with existing Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printers have the option to use KODACOLOR DTG inks with KODACOLOR film and powder to add Kodak’s FTF to their offerings.
For fabric print shop owners wanting high-quality fabric prints without the expense of a full-fledged DTG fabric printing system or wanting to offer additional print projects on fabrics other than cotton to their customers, Kodak’s FTF ink system is the ideal solution.
Grant French, Kodak’s DTG and FTF product manager said, “We are pleased to announce the entry of Kodak into this market, giving more customers access to a high-quality, lower cost business option to create amazing, printed fabric projects.”
