In the garment printing industry, both printing quality and safety are essential. Businesses expect vibrant colors, durable prints, and reliable performance, while regulators and consumers increasingly demand products that are safe for both people and the environment.

For companies using DTF printers, the quality of DTF ink plays a critical role in determining print results, operational stability, and environmental compliance.

Xinflying, a professional manufacturer in the digital textile printing industry, is proud to announce that our DTF ink has obtained the OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT certification. This certification confirms that Xinflying’s DTF ink meets strict safety and sustainability standards and aligns with the latest requirements of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).

In this article, we explain what this certification means and why choosing Xinflying DTF ink, DTF PET film, and DTF powder can help improve both your printing performance and environmental responsibility.

Why the Safety of DTF Ink Matters

The textile and apparel industry has faced increasing scrutiny regarding environmental impact and the use of potentially harmful chemicals. From dyes to finishing agents, certain substances used in textile production can pose risks to factory workers, end consumers, and the environment.

For printing businesses, the DTF ink used in your DTF printer is not just a consumable—it reflects your commitment to safety, product quality, and regulatory compliance.

Using non-certified inks may lead to:

• Potential health risks for workers and consumers

• Difficulty meeting international compliance requirements

• Restrictions when exporting products to global markets

• Damage to brand reputation

Choosing certified DTF ink helps ensure that your printing business operates safely and responsibly.

What is OEKO-TEX® Certification?

OEKO-TEX® is one of the world’s most recognized independent testing and certification systems for textile products at every stage of production.

The OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT certification specifically evaluates chemicals, dyes, inks, and auxiliaries used in textile manufacturing. Products that receive this certification must pass a rigorous testing process to ensure they do not contain harmful levels of substances that could affect human health.

When Xinflying DTF ink receives this certification, it means that:

• Each ingredient has been tested for safety

• The formulation meets strict environmental standards

• The ink is safe for use in textiles that come into direct contact with skin

This includes garments for adults, children, and even baby clothing.

Compliance with ECHA Regulations

The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) regulates chemical safety across the European Union through strict regulations such as REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals).

One major focus of ECHA is restricting the use of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), sometimes referred to as “forever chemicals,” due to their persistence in the environment and potential health risks.

By ensuring our DTF ink formulation complies with evolving ECHA regulations, Xinflying helps printing businesses remain compliant with global safety standards.

This means products printed using Xinflying DTF ink and DTF printer solutions can be confidently sold in international markets, including the European Union.

Complete DTF Printing Solutions from Xinflying

In addition to high-quality DTF ink, Xinflying provides a full range of DTF printing consumables, including:

1. DTF PET Film

DTF PET film is an essential component of the DTF printing process. The design is first printed onto the film using a DTF printer, then transferred to fabric using adhesive powder and heat pressing.

Xinflying DTF PET film offers:

• Smooth ink absorption

• Excellent powder adhesion

• Clean and stable peeling

• Consistent transfer results

It ensures that printed designs maintain sharp details and vibrant colors.

2. DTF Powder

DTF powder, also known as adhesive powder, is applied to the printed film before heat curing.

Xinflying DTF powder provides:

• Strong adhesion to fabrics

• Excellent elasticity after transfer

Together with DTF ink and PET film, it forms a reliable DTF printer production workflow.
