Eastman Kodak Co. announces the launch of a new ink system for Film-to-Fabric (DTF) printing projects, made in Rochester, N.Y.

Film-to-Fabric ink systems can be used with most modified inkjet printers and involve three simple components: powder, film, and ink. Kodak says the benefits of its film-to-fabric system include the ability to print on a wide variety of fabrics (e.g. natural fabrics, polyester, nylon, rayon, blends, and cotton); less investment in hardware; and more flexibility to accept customer printing projects.

Kodak’s film-to-fabric ink system includes KODACOLOR powder, KODACOLOR film, and ink specially designed for use in a film-to-fabric application. Customers with existing Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printers have the option to use KODACOLOR DTG inks with KODACOLOR film and powder to add Kodak’s FTF to their offerings.

“We are pleased to announce the entry of Kodak into this market, giving more customers access to a high-quality, lower-cost business option to create amazing, printed fabric projects,” says Grant French, product manager, DTG and FTF, Kodak.
