In November this year, AIIFAR will unveil its latest independently developed products at two major exhibitions in Shanghai. From November 19th to 23rd, we will be participating in the China International Textile Machinery Exhibition (ITMA Asia Exhibition) at the Shanghai Hongqiao International Convention and Exhibition Center, booth number:H6B23. Concurrently, from November 21st to 23rd, we will be at the China (Shanghai) International Screen Printing and Digital Printing Technology Exhibition (the 36th China International Screen Printing and Digital Printing Exhibition/China International Digital Textile Printing Industrial Technology Exhibition) held at the Shanghai Pudong International Expo Center, booth number:B20. We cordially welcome customers from around the world to visit our booth at these events.   Highly anticipated, this time, we will be showcasing our two major new technologies in 2023: the 80cm three-head printer and the UV DTF printer.   New Product: 80cm Three-Head DTF Printer This is a high-speed printer equipped with three print heads, combined with AIIFAR's exclusive weaving technology. It elevates your printing speed to new levels, despite having only three print heads (2 Epson 1600 and 1 Epson 3200 print head configuration), the printing speed can match that of a 4-head printer. The high-speed 4-pass mode achieves 22 square meters per hour, while the 6-pass mode can reach 15 square meters per hour. Even at high speeds, we ensure the quality and detail of the prints, this model can be considered as the true kings of cost-effectiveness.   New Product: UV DTF Printer This innovative printer opens up a world of possibilities as it allows you to print patterns and designs that can be effortlessly applied to various surfaces, including glass, stainless steel, and plastic, among others. What sets it apart is its user-friendly design, offering both automatic and manual procedures for easy and intuitive operation. The dual-layer intelligent temperature control oven ensures that your prints come out perfectly, while the tension-sensing paper receiving system guarantees smooth and precise results. The UV DTF Printer is a versatile solution with multifunctional applications, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of industries and creative projects.   These two exhibitions provide an excellent opportunity to showcase our latest technologies and products. We eagerly anticipate meeting you in person at the events and sharing the excitement of these innovative technologies.

This year, AIIFAR has introduced an innovative patent DTF printing technology known as "Interweave Printing." This technology relies on advanced algorithms to synchronize the printer's nozzle with the speed of paper movement seamlessly. This collaboration allows the inkjet nozzle to move in a diagonal pattern, creating a distinctive "X" trajectory, much like a weaving grid, hence the name "Interweave Printing".   Compared to conventional printing methods, Weave Printing offers several significant advantages:   1. Enhanced image resolution due to higher ink droplet density. Reduced waiting time for paper advancement through diagonal movement, greatly boosting printing speed. Images are constructed in an "X" shape, ensuring that even in cases of ink droplet breakage or suboptimal nozzle conditions, print quality remains relatively unaffected.   To substantiate these advantages, we provide data as evidence. At the same resolution settings, traditional printing achieves a speed of 10 square meters per hour, while Weave Printing achieves a speed of 15 square meters per hour, representing an efficiency increase of over 25%. Furthermore, our printers employ an energy-efficient heating solution with patented technology, resulting in savings of at least 5KW of electricity when compared to other brand machines.Our patented automatic mode enables a single operator to control three machines simultaneously. This translates to significant monthly savings in electricity costs and labor wages, potentially allowing you to acquire an additional new printer.   Additionally, AIIFAR DTF printers come equipped with unique features, including an automatic nozzle cleaning system, constant tension paper feed system, and automatic idle humidification, further enhancing print efficiency and quality.   In summary, Weave Printing technology offers higher resolution, faster printing speeds, and fault tolerance for high-quality image printing. We have also created a video demonstration vividly illustrating the differences between traditional and Weave Printing methods (video link:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5siuaDr-0qc&t=248s). If you are interested in our technology and would like to learn more, please feel free to contact us(Leave your message in our site or Whatsapp/Wechat +86 150 1558 8080 directly). We look forward to collaborating with you.

The print head plays a crucial role in the printer as it is responsible for spraying ink to form images or text. However, due to its complex structure and functionality, the print head is relatively delicate. Therefore, special attention should be given to the maintenance and care of the print head to avoid damage caused by collisions or improper use. Regular cleaning and proper usage of the printer are essential steps to keep the print head healthy and extend its lifespan.   Every time we start the printer, we need to activate the automatic cleaning function. However, after extended use, you may encounter a situation where even after multiple cleaning attempts, there are still missing large color blocks or no improvement at all when printing a test page. This indicates that your printer's print head needs a manual cleaning.   To perform a manual cleaning, you will need the following materials: 1 bottle of cleaning liquid 2-3 syringes 3-4 bottles of distilled water A pack of tissues   Preparation:   Place tissues on both sides of the print head to protect it from water damage during the cleaning process.Carefully remove the dampers and set them aside.   Step 1 - Start Cleaning: Using a syringe, draw approximately 10ml of distilled water and insert the syringe's nozzle into the print head's channel. Inject the water to clean each channel of the print head. Repeat this process for each channel.   Step 2 - Extract Waste Ink: Reverse flush the print head channels to draw out any trapped waste ink. Be careful when handling the syringe plunger to prevent waste ink from re-entering the channels. Repeat this process for each channel.   Note: At this stage, the syringe's hose will be filled with waste ink. Before proceeding to the next step, it is essential to clean the hose by extracting distilled water. If you find it cumbersome, you can use a new syringe. Also, ensure that the distilled water used for flushing the channels is not contaminated with ink; otherwise, replace it with a fresh bottle of distilled water.   Step 3 - Repeat Steps 1 and 2: The channels usually require multiple rinses to be thoroughly cleaned. Therefore, repeat Steps 1 and 2 until the water flowing out from the channels becomes clear and free of impurities. Make sure every channel is clean and free of hidden waste ink before moving on to the next step.   Step 4 - Deep Cleaning: Using a syringe, draw approximately 10ml of cleaning liquid and inject it into the channels for flushing. Allow it to sit for 10 minutes, allowing the cleaning liquid to undergo some chemical reactions with the remaining waste ink. After 10 minutes, flush the channels again with distilled water. Draw water into the syringe and inject it into the channels to flush out the cleaning liquid, ensuring that the water flowing out is clear and free of impurities. After a thorough rinse, perform a "reverse ink extraction" once again to remove any remaining impurities that might not have been flushed out by water.   Step 5 - Reassembly: Place the Dampers back in its original position, starting from the nearest channel and moving outward. Activate the printer's automatic cleaning function multiple times to complete the entire cleaning process. If, after multiple automatic cleaning cycles, the test color blocks are still incomplete, then you should consider the possibility that there is air inside the print head causing the issue. In this situation, simply add cleaning fluid to the cap, soak for 5 minutes then restart the automatic cleaning.Problem will solve.     Finally, if you plan to stop using the printer for an extended period due to the need for prolonged absence, it is also essential to perform a manual cleaning before stopping and add some moisturizing liquid after cleaning. This step can protect your print head during the period of non-use.   The moisturizing liquid serves to prevent the print head from drying out and clogging. When the printer is not used for a long time, ink may dry up in the print head, leading to clogging issues. By adding moisturizing liquid, you can keep the ink moist, reducing the risk of clogging and ensuring that the print head remains in good working condition during its dormancy.   When you start using the printer again, remember to perform a test print first to ensure that the print head has been thoroughly cleaned and moisturized, and that the output quality of images or text is satisfactory. This simple additional step will help maintain your printer and ensure its long-term stable operation.

White ink is way more important than other colors in the DTF printing process, and its usage rate is higher than others. If you don't know whether your new white ink good or not, reading this article will help you to find out.   1. Precipitation test (Suggestion: This method is best tested with 2 different brands of white ink) You can pour the white ink into the clear water bottle, shake it then let it stand; then watch the different between the bottles: the slower the sediment in the ink settles, the better the relative quality of the white ink.   2. Print on the DTF machine to see fluency You can print from the length of 10m first, and then increase by the length of 5m, from which to see whether the fluency of continuous ink printing is high or not. Good ink will run smoothly during the printing process.   3. Check the tensile stress You can print a pure white pattern prints, then stretch it. By checking the elasticity, you can know the tensile strength of the white ink. As usual, the higher the tensile strength, the better the quality.   4. Check the purity of color Some ink are just not white enough, you can watch the white ink during the DTF printing process, check the purity by comparing color cards. The whiter it gets, the better it is.   Actually, glycerin and titanium dioxide are two important components that determine the quality of white ink. “Glycerin” makes sure the fluency of DTF printing , “titanium dioxide” makes sure the tensile strength. Although, using the best quality white ink is well known, but due to the printers’ different size of wave patterns in each factory, in order to ensure the smooth printing, which will need different kinds of inks to match. Therefore, it’s best to choose the original matching ink is the highest compatibility in the selection of ink process.   The test condition of AIIFAR's ink test: First, it must be printed continuously and smoothly for more than 30m; Second, if it can pass the test strip. Only the white ink that passes the above two conditions at the same time is considered to pass AIIFAR’s test.   By the way, when it comes to white ink, there is a problem that must trouble you for a long time: the printer’s print heads are always blocked by white sediment. When the printer heads are blocked, you would need to stop running the machine to clean the print heads, which would cost you some precious time. If the number of clogs occurs too many times, you would need to spend extra money to buy a new print head. So, to prevent this from happening, AIIFAR has invented a white ink stirring device for DTF printer, which can keep the white ink rotating without precipitating. Here’s a video for more info about the white ink stirring device.

Our company has recently developed a new series of 8-color DTFprinter. The design concept of this new series is mainly to make the DTF color area wider than ever before, so that customers can make prints with higher color quality as they want. We add lc lm lk llk to the traditional CMYK four-color ink to make the gradient color performance more delicate. It also enhances the ability to show the dark field on the image. To this end, we have developed a special algorithm to enable the board to support the printing of 8 kinds of DTFink, to better manage the sequence of each inkjet hole. For actual printing results, please watch the details shown in the video.

On March 29, 2023, AIIFAR Electronics Co., Ltd. decided to release a DTF powder shaking machine with a heating width of 80cm, which provides users with a wider range of printer choices. Thanks to the fully automatic intelligent operating system of the AF series used by the AIIFAR 80CM DTF powder shaking machine, it is compatible with DTF printers with widths of 80cm, 60cm, 40cm, and 30cm. The main positioning of this product is to provide a suitable solution for customers who are hesitant between 60cm and 1.3 meters. Of course, in addition to changes in machine size, the heating efficiency of the AF80CM powder spreading machine has also been significantly improved. The engineers have minimized the heating power consumption as much as possible, making the machine more energy-efficient. In addition, the air purifier's intake system has been optimized to provide more efficient exhaust efficiency. The engineers will adjust the parameters to the optimal state before the machine leaves the factory, so that customers can use it as soon as they receive it. The development of the 80cm DTF powder shaking machine means that AIIFAR now has the most complete DTF product line in terms of size, and also demonstrates AIIFAR's innovative and creative technology research and development capabilities as the founder of DTF.

AIIFA attended the World Trade Fair held by China DPES and took the opportunity to see a lot of textile printing machines. For example, textile direct printing machines, digital printing machines and other large textile printing machines. The take-up system and the paper feeding system of such large printing machines are controlled by tension sensing, which coincides with AIIFAR's DTF printers. By talking with other DTF printer manufacturers, it seems that they are not considering adding a tension take-up system and a tension feeding system. By conducting market research on DTF printers through this expo, we found that machines with an integrated purifier would have more selling advantages, which is one of the advantages that AIIFAR's DTF printers have been able to sell worldwide and continue to receive recognition and praise from buyers worldwide.  

2023 is about to end and winter is coming quietly, this year we have been cooperating with a French DTF company to which this engineer belongs. In the year of close cooperation with them, AIIFAR engineers earnestly considered the feedback from customers and developed a number of DTF printer technologies patents.   In December this year, after they knew that our newly developed new maintenance station would greatly improve the printheads life of DTF printer, they expressed that they would like to send a engineers from France to visit our company again to verify its reliability and practicality.   Finally, after several days of functional testing and use scenario simulation, the results indicated that the new maintainer can really protect the printheads life of the DTF printer. The A2 DTF printer of AIIFAR soon won the recognition of the French customer and began to negotiate the cooperation plan for the new year.

In the previous article, we talked about the importance of daily cleaning and some theoretical knowledge of printers. Many printers on the market have the MASK function. In many cases, Due to the mask functionIn many cases, the nozzles are blocked and cannot be known in time. So we must use the test function of the printer before each printing to check whether each nozzle is in good condition. Then in this article, I will share how to judge the condition of the test strip and some regular cleaning method of the nozzle.   I will introduce two common situations to judge through color square detection methods that mentioned in the previous article. One of them is a simple case, when all test strips appear some missing printing on different position like the photo1, what means that after cleaning function, there are still ink droplets left in the nozzle. The specific solution is to use the nozzle cleaning function repeatedly until a complete test strip is printed. The second simple case, when all test strips appear some missing printing on same position, after repeated use of the cleaning function.. At this time, it means that the nozzle has been completely blocked. The solution is as follows: put the liquid on the ink pad, reset the printhead position, turn off the machine and soak it for 15-20 minutes, then restart the machine, use the drink function to absorb ink 5-6 times, and automatically clean it for 2-3 times and then test whether the blockage is elimination. Somebody with strong hands-on ability can choose the following way： Prepare two syringes and a clean plastic tube, pure water and regular liquid. 1.First, use a syringe to inject pure water into the print head. Do not use too much force. Slowly inject the print head to wash out the ink in the print head, Then use another syringe to forcefully extract the waste ink   2. After several times to ensure that the pure water flowing out of the nozzle holes is colorless, slowly inject the liquid into the nozzle,drop the liquid on the the non-woven fabric and place the print head on it. After 10 minutes, use a syringe for waste ink to suck out the impurities in the print head, then use a pure water syringe to slowly inject and rush it, and then use a syringe for waste ink to suck out the impurities in the print head again, repeat several times until the print head is no impurities are presented, the pure water dripping from the nozzle is clear.   3.Finally,use pure water syringe with a little force to check whether the water mist is complete and the stream are smooth. Precautions: Avoid water entering the interface between the nozzle and the cable, and no water can enter the nozzle interface. When reconnecting the nozzle to the machine, you must pay attention to the cable sequence of the nozzle, so as not to cause damage to the print head. The whole process should not be carried out for too long, so as not to cause the ink remaining in the nozzle get dry and block again.   Ink selection In addition to daily maintenance of the print head, choosing the right ink for the print head is also an important step to prevent the print head from clogging. In order to quickly solidify on the film, DTF ink is much less fluid than ordinary ink. If the ink is not selected properly, it is easy to cause the nozzle to block, and the nozzle may be replaced within 3 months.Most of the resellers choose their ink suppliers because of the price, not like AIIREY,have the conditions to test whether the ink is compatible with the printer. . In the next article we will tell you how to choose the right ink.

In the printing industry, maintaining the nozzle is an essential task, which shouldn’t be ignored no matter before or after printing. I am a test engineer of DTF PRINTER manufacturing company. I have rich test experience in DTF printing. I wrote this article to share more printer knowledge and help more people develop smoothly in printing business.   ●The most important step is the habit of daily use：   Test the printhead before each print, if the testing pattern is not complete, we must clean the printhead and test again until the testing pattern is as complete as possible. In order to make it clear to everyone knowing whether such a test is necessary. Let’s start from the structure of the nozzle.   ●Why do the test strips have to be printed in full every time：   The ink used by DTF printer is known as less fluent because it needs to be stable after printing. Just imagine if a clogged nozzles is ignored by you when the testing pattern is missing. Then after 1 hour of printing, which means clogged nozzles are exposed to air for up to an hour. It may cause the consequence that this nozzles become irreversible clogged completely. Over time, it will lead to a lot of blockage of the nozzle, and finally you can only spend money to replace the printhead. In order to avoid such a situation, you must clean the nozzles before each print, and print out as complete a test pattern as possible each time.   ●How to test efficiently   Straight line detection method In order to understand the status of the nozzle we need to use the Factory-built testing software.At present, the test methods of printers on the market are mainly divided into two types.The first is the straight line detection method.For example, a printhead with 3,200 nozzles needs to print 3,200 lines separately, and then judge whether the corresponding nozzle is blocked by whether the printed lines are complete. But in my opinion this is not an efficient way to detect if 3200 lines are complete.Because I only need to know if the nozzle is in good condition and cleaned, I need the results at a glance, so the situation with the linear test strip makes my judgment very difficult.   color square detection method Another test method is the color block detection method from AIIREY’s 60CM DTF printer, detect whether the nozzle holes are clogged by observing whether the printed color blocks are complete. Although it is not possible to know which nozzle is blocked like a straight line detection, the block can easily see whether the nozzle is blocked. For non-repairable nozzles, knowing which orifice is clogged doesn't make much sense. And the linear test strip is very difficult to see clearly, it is important that we know whether the nozzle hole is blocked at a glance. At the same time, AIIREY ’s 60CM DTF printer is equipped with LED light tubes, which makes it easier for operators to find small defects in the pattern while printing. Many manufacturers will not equipped with LED light tubes if they are not confident in their own printing technology. Whether there are LED light tube can be used as a reference condition for people to purchase new DTF Printer.   The above is a brief introduction to the necessity of cleaning the nozzles and printing a complete test pattern. I will introduce to you in detail how to clean the nozzles in my next article. Please follow me and comment more and discuss with each other about DTF. technical problem. Next, I will introduce how to make the nozzle still use if your nozzle has been irreversibly blocked.   ●Structure of the nozzle   Take the EPSON I3200 commonly used by our company's AIIREY 60CM DTF printer as an example. This printhead has 3200 nozzles, a total of 4 rows, and each row has 800 nozzles on a very small printhead. It is a very precise Component. Any improper maintenance of the print head will cause dust to clog or become clogged by ink solidification.   ●Principle of The MASK program   The nozzle blockage is irreversible and difficult to avoid completely, in order to increase the customer's use time under the circumstance of nozzle hole blockage. All printers currently on the market will added a MASK (feathering) program by most manufacturer. The principle of MASK can be simply explained that when one nozzle is blocked, the MASK program will automatically adjust other nozzles to replace inkjet according to the sequence of nozzles to avoid pixel loss in the image. With the MASK program, can it mean that the nozzle does not need to be cleaned frequently? The answer is negative. Because it means that as more nozzle are blocked, the other nozzle will have to work more, and the printing efficiency will go down until the printing speed begin unacceptable.   Finally. In any case, the nozzle needs to be kept in good condition before printing, and during printing, it is necessary to monitor whether the nozzle status is abnormal and whether the ink is in good condition. Regarding the monitoring during printing, many customers choose to use the flashlight function of the mobile phone to illuminate the printed pattern under the printed pattern to check whether the printed pattern is in good condition. However, for our AIIREY printer, there are LED lamps on the printing end to directly illuminate the printed pattern, so that we can quickly check whether the printed pattern is complete. This is also a function that many printer manufacturers are reluctant to add, because it can Whether there is a problem with the printer can be found instantly, but AIIREY attaches great importance to the customer experience and is very confident in the quality of the machine, so choose to add this function to ensure that customers can find problems in time and prolong the life of the nozzle.
