Mimaki PHT50 DTF Ink

What it is

The heat-transfer pigment ink Mimaki designates for DTF exclusive use in its TxF printer series: water-based pigment ink in degassed aluminium packs — 600 ml for CMYK, 500 ml for white — with white-ink circulation in the printers to manage settlement. Printed onto DTF film, powdered, cured and heat-pressed onto garments.

Who it may be relevant for: Shops running the Mimaki TxF150-75 or TxF300-series DTF printers — this is the ink system those machines are specified around.

UK market notes

• Mimaki's own global distributor directory names Hybrid Services Ltd (Crewe) for the United Kingdom — manufacturer-named channel evidence; Hybrid's TxF pages describe the ink alongside the printers.
• The publicly fetchable safety data sheets are the US-version documents (the European SDS portal requires a login); the fetched white-ink SDS is dated, versioned and classifies the ink as not hazardous under the listed criteria. EU-region item codes are unverified.
• Mimaki's product pages state a five-colour CMYK+White set; the manufacturer's SDS index additionally lists Sky Blue and Pale Pink item codes that no fetched product page describes — recorded as existing-but-undescribed extras, not part of the stated set.

Confirm the exact supplied model, electrical configuration and warranty with the manufacturer or a UK authorised distributor before purchasing.

Specifications

Every figure below is traced to a numbered source. “Manufacturer figure” marks values stated by the manufacturer under their own test conditions — not independent measurements. Specifications change; confirm anything critical with the manufacturer before purchasing.

Documented compatibility

Only relationships the manufacturer (or, where marked, a distributor) states in writing. Absence from this list does not mean incompatibility.

• Mimaki TxF150-75 — named on Mimaki's own supply page as a compatible printer for PHT50. Manufacturer-confirmed (global statement)[1] · verified 2026-07-17Mimaki (the ink's and the printer's manufacturer) makes the statement on its global supply page.

Limitations

• Shelf life and ink operating conditions are not stated on the fetched documents.
• EU-region SDS documents and EU item codes are behind Mimaki Europe's login — the fetched SDS is the US version.
• Sky Blue and Pale Pink item codes exist in the SDS index without any fetched product-page description — their status is unclear.
