How to Adjust White Ink Intensity and Color on XP600 DTF Printers

Question:
I have a DTF printer using an XP600 single-head with a Hoson motherboard, running through CADlink with Printexp software. I'm trying to make the colors more vivid and the white ink more intense, but I haven't found any guides or videos on this. Can you provide advice or a tutorial?

Answer:

Regarding adjusting color intensity and white ink on an XP600 using CADlink + Printexp: although we don't yet have a dedicated video on this specific topic, here are some steps and tips that can help you achieve fuller colors and stronger white coverage:

1. Accessing White Ink and Color Settings:

   • In CADlink, go to Manage Printing Mode in the top menu.

   • On the left menu, select the second option, which allows you to adjust Maximum White, underbase coverage percentage, and white ink usage.

2. Tweaking Ink Density and Volume:

   • Adjust the ink-channel density and ink-volume settings before sending the job to Printexp.

   • Slightly increasing the white ink density and ensuring proper underbase coverage helps the white layer pop more effectively.

3. Test and Adjust:

   • Perform small test prints after each adjustment. This allows you to fine-tune the settings without wasting materials and ensures the results match your desired output.

4. Additional Tips:

   • White ink tends to be heavier and can behave differently depending on the media. Monitoring nozzle performance and performing regular maintenance will help maintain consistent results.
