Same ink, straight from the distributor
This is Cowint's magenta DTF ink in a 1 liter bottle, formulated for Epson printheads. It is the ink we run in our own DTF printers every day, so we know how it flows, how it cures and how it washes.
Magenta is one of the three process colors. The CMY set is matched, so cyan, magenta and yellow build clean secondaries and a wide gamut without a custom profile on most RIPs.
Flows well through I3200, I1600, XP600, DX5, DX7, TX800, 4720, 5113, L1800 and the other Epson heads, which means fewer clogs and less downtime. Prints are wash-fast and keep their color through normal laundering. OEKO-TEX certified.
Sold by the bottle and shipped from our Kansas warehouse in 24 hours or less on business days. Shake well before use: 5 to 15 minutes, by hand or on a shaker, until no sediment is left in the bottom of the bottle.

How to use this ink
- Shake well before useShake the sealed bottle for 5 to 15 minutes, by hand or on a shaker, until you see no sediment in the bottom of the bottle. Shine a flashlight through the bottle to check. Pigment settles in storage; shaking brings it back to spec.
- PourPour into the matching tank on the printer. Do not mix brands in one tank; if you are switching, flush the line first.
- PrimeRun a nozzle check and a head clean until every channel prints clean.
- PrintPrint color first and white last on the matte side of the film, mirrored, through your RIP's DTF profile.
- Powder and curePowder while wet, shake off, and cure at 240°F (115°C) for 2 to 3 minutes. Then press as the film calls for.
General guidance for Epson-head DTF printers. Follow your printer and RIP maker's settings for ink limits and profiles, and run a test print when switching ink.
