The Roland TY-300 Direct-to-Film (DTF) printer is designed for professional, high-volume textile and apparel production. With its latest upgrade, Roland introduces a new ink configuration featuring doubled white ink capacity, a significant improvement that directly addresses the main challenges in DTF production: continuity, stability, and consistent quality.
In this blog post, we explain what this new ink configuration means and how it impacts your daily production.
Double white ink: what’s new?
White ink plays a critical role in DTF printing. It forms the base layer beneath CMYK colors and largely determines color strength and opacity, especially on dark or colored fabrics. The Roland TY-300 is now equipped with a doubled white ink capacity, delivering several key benefits:
-
Longer, uninterrupted production runs thanks to a larger white ink reserve
-
Reduced downtime by minimizing cartridge changes
-
Better support for high production speeds without compromising quality
This configuration is specifically designed for production environments where reliability and output speed are essential.
Improved white ink circulation and stability
White ink is known for its high pigment density and the associated risk of sedimentation. The TY-300 features an advanced white ink circulation system that keeps the ink in constant motion. This ensures:
-
Consistent opacity and density of the white layer
-
A reduced risk of printhead clogging
-
Even and uniform white underbase construction, even during long production runs
The result is stable, predictable print quality, even under intensive use.
More efficient workflows and reduced maintenance
In addition to the new ink configuration, the TY-300 is designed with overall efficiency in mind. Optimized workflows and automated maintenance functions minimize manual intervention. This leads to:
For businesses producing DTF transfers on a daily basis, this translates into clear time and cost savings.
High productivity without compromise
The Roland TY-300 combines the new ink configuration with high print speeds of up to 17.48 m² per hour in high-speed mode. Combined with precise CMYK + white layering and advanced color management, this delivers:
Conclusion
The new double white ink configuration of the Roland TY-300 is not a minor update, but a targeted enhancement for professional DTF production. By combining increased white ink capacity with improved stability, automated maintenance, and high productivity, the TY-300 provides a solution for print businesses looking to scale without sacrificing quality or reliability.
For professional DTF users, this upgrade offers clear added value.
