Roland DG has announced the launch of its new S-PG3 direct-to-film (DTF) ink for the TY-300i, delivering improved cost efficiency, production stability and print performance for apparel decoration businesses. Developed in response to growing demand for faster, more cost-effective DTF production, S-PG3 has been designed to help businesses increase profitability without compromising on quality. When paired with the TY-300i printer, the new ink enables users to reduce running costs, improve workflow efficiency and consistently produce vibrant, durable graphics across a wide variety of apparel applications.
As DTF continues to become the preferred production method for custom apparel, sportswear and workwear, print businesses face increasing pressure to maximise output while controlling operational costs. The TY-300i and S-PG3 combination has been engineered to address these challenges by combining reliable production performance with a lower total cost of ownership. The new S-PG3 ink features enhanced ink flow characteristics and improved jetting stability, helping minimise nozzle misfiring and dropouts during long production runs. Its improved formulation also enables more uniform ink coverage across the film surface, resulting in stronger colour consistency and vibrant print output from the first transfer to the last.
