Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing is everywhere. It’s personal, bold, vibrant, and unlocking new opportunities for garment decorators of every size. But what if your DTF setup is holding you back?

If you’re struggling to achieve the vibrant colours you see on screen, finding that whites appear dull rather than bright, or battling inconsistent results from one job to the next, your print technology could be limiting your profit potential.

That’s why more businesses are turning to the Mimaki TxF Series. Designed specifically for DTF production, the Mimaki TxF150-75 and TxF300-75 combine highly opaque white ink, accurate colour reproduction and reliable performance to help produce transfers with the vibrancy, detail and consistency today’s customers expect.

Because exceptional DTF output starts with exceptional foundations, and when your white ink performs as it should, colours appear brighter, details stay sharper. Every transfer has the opportunity to make a lasting impression.

The role of white in DTF is structural, not optional

White ink forms the base layer beneath CMYK, creating a solid foundation that allows colour to remain accurate when transferred onto cotton, polyester, blends, or darker garments.

Without a stable white layer, colours lose density, transparency increases, and the final garment becomes heavily dependent on the fabric colour underneath.

Mimaki’s PHT50 white ink resolves this by acting as a controlled barrier between the substrate and the printed image. It prevents the garment colour from interfering with the design and ensures that tones remain sharp, defined, and predictable after pressing.

This is especially critical when producing:

Black or dark fashion garments
Branded apparel requiring colour accuracy
High-volume print runs where consistency matters

Seeing the Difference

The comparison below highlights the difference that white ink opacity can make to colour vibrancy, detail and overall print quality:

Spot the difference. Both transfers feature the same artwork, yet the results couldn’t be more different. The Mimaki print delivers brighter whites, stronger colour saturation and greater contrast throughout the design, helping every element stand out against the black fabric. From the koi fish scales to the fine details in the water and text, the artwork appears sharper, bolder and more visually striking. (Top – Alternative DTF Bottom – Mimaki DTF)

Built for Businesses Ready to Take DTF Seriously

For many businesses, the first step into DTF is driven by affordability. The market is full of low-cost solutions that promise impressive results, making it easier than ever to get started. But as production volumes grow and customer expectations increase, many businesses begin to encounter the same challenges: inconsistent colour, unreliable white ink performance, excessive maintenance and quality that varies from one job to the next.

The Mimaki TxF Series was developed to solve these problems.

White ink is often one of the biggest challenges in DTF production. Because white pigment is naturally heavier, it can settle over time, leading to inconsistent output and increased maintenance. To help combat this, Mimaki developed MCTv2 (Mimaki Circulation Technology), continuously circulating white ink to maintain stability and help ensure consistent performance throughout production.

The TxF Series also benefits from Mimaki’s Nozzle Check Unit (NCU) and Nozzle Recovery System (NRS), technologies designed to minimise interruptions and keep production moving should nozzle issues occur. Combined with Mimaki’s OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT certified PHT50 inks, businesses can produce vibrant, durable transfers with confidence.

Whether you’re looking to replace an entry-level DTF system or invest in a platform capable of supporting future growth, the Mimaki TxF Series delivers the print quality, reliability and productivity that define DTF done better.
