Inside RICOH's "Golden Print Week": What Ink-Printhead Collaboration Actually Validates
Oct. 16, 2026
At RICOH's first Golden Print Week in Shanghai, INKBANK joined a technical exchange about what must be validated before an ink is approved for continuous production. The answer is not a single specification, but a system of printhead, ink, supply, maintenance and application conditions.
What Is DTF Ink? Composition, Process, and How to Choose the Right Ink

DTF ink is a water-based pigment ink printed on PET film and heat-transferred to fabric. Learn its composition, process, white ink role, limitations, and quality checks.
The Impact of Ink Layer Thickness on UV Curing and Print Quality
Aug. 30, 2024
The thickness of the ink layer directly affects the speed of light curing, with a thinner layer curing faster and a thicker one slowing down the process. This is because the pigment on the surface of the ink absorbs some of the ultraviolet light
