WARNING: WARNING: WORK IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA and use Protective Equipment (including masks and gloves) when working with specialty printing and curing products and processes (including DTF, DTG, UV etc.) as fumes and processes may be hazardous. We highly recommend the use of a fume extractor when working with DTF powder in addition to good ventilation and filtration in your work area. The use of all specialty ink printing equipment and supplies such as inks, chemicals, powders etc. are at the sole risk of the user. Specialty inks and film require a good humidity and temperature environment (55% - 75% humidity, and 75° to 80°F) to minimize risk of ink clogs and film buckling.

Capping in printing refers to the process of covering the printhead with a protective cap when the printer is not in use. This helps prevent the ink from drying out and clogging the nozzles, ensuring consistent print quality and extending the lifespan of the printhead. It is a common feature in inkjet printers to maintain optimal performance.
There are different solutions for different purposes. It is equally important to know when to use a particular solution, as it is to know when not to use a particular solution.
