DTGPRO's MagicInk Wins the 2026 PRINTING United Pinnacle Award in the Textile Digital Inks Category

Made in the USA, patent-pending MagicInk is recognized by PRINTING United Alliance for innovation in textile digital ink technology.

COVINA, CA, UNITED STATES, August 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Made in the USA, Patent-Pending MAGICINK - Clog-Free Textile Printing Ink Recognized by PRINTING United Alliance for Innovation in Textile Printing Technology

Easy Group today announced that it’s Made in the USA, patent-pending MagicInk technology has been named the winner of the 2026 Pinnacle Award in the Textile Digital Inks category by PRINTING United Alliance. The winning entry, "MAGICINK - Clog-Free Textile Printing Ink," was recognized for its innovation in simplifying textile printing workflows and addressing one of the industry's most persistent production challenges: ink clogging and maintenance.

Developed and manufactured in the USA, MagicInk is a patent-pending textile ink technology with multiple patents pending. It was engineered to help move textile decoration away from maintenance-heavy, hardware-dependent systems and toward simpler, more reliable, chemistry-driven printing solutions.

Traditional DTF and DTG workflows rely heavily on pigment-dense textile inks, especially white ink systems, which can introduce clogging, pigment settling, daily cleaning, recirculation requirements, downtime, and high equipment costs. These challenges create barriers for new users while adding ongoing maintenance and operational complexity for established print shops.

MagicInk was developed to reduce those barriers. Its clog-free ink architecture is designed to eliminate the common clogging and maintenance issues associated with pigment-based textile inks, enabling consistent, uninterrupted printing with a cleaner and more stable print layer.

"Winning the 2026 Pinnacle Award in the Textile Digital Inks category is an incredible honor for our team," said Dr. Dimitris Constantinou of Easy Group. "MagicInk was developed to solve a real-world problem that textile printers face every day. By reducing clogging, removing white ink dependency in key workflows, and enabling the use of widely available printer platforms, MagicInk helps users print cleaner, maintain less, and produce more reliably."

MagicInk is a flexible ink platform for textile printing, with separate versions engineered for Canon and Epson desktop inkjet printers as well as traditional DTF printer systems. This allows standard off-the-shelf printers to be repurposed for textile decoration, significantly reducing equipment cost, setup complexity, and the need for specialized hardware.

In one workflow, users can print MagicInk onto DTF film using an off-the-shelf Canon or Epson printer, then cure the print using standard DTF powder, coated DTF film, foil, HTF film, or Easy Group's developing MagicPowder line. This enables soft, breathable, durable, and washable single-color transfers without requiring a dedicated DTF printer.

MagicInk is also designed to integrate with the MAGICLINE HTF system, enabling foil effects, colored powder applications, and specialty transfer results without relying on white ink. MagicPowder is being developed in a range of colors, including white and other specialty colors, allowing the final print color to come from the powder itself in certain workflows.

For full-color DTF applications, MagicInk can also be introduced into a traditional DTF printer in place of white ink. When paired with White MagicPowder, the powder provides both the white base and adhesive layer, eliminating the need for white ink while still supporting full-color DTF printing.

By enabling professional-grade textile decoration on lower-cost hardware, MagicInk expands accessibility for startups, small businesses, home-based decorators, and non-traditional operators. At the same time, it gives established production environments a low-maintenance alternative workflow that can reduce downtime, lower operational risk, and simplify day-to-day production.
