target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Ink Layer Thickness<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ink Layer Thickness defines a dimensional parameter, while Ink Density defines the amount of ink within a given area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another common misunderstanding is that density determines structural continuity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within the DTF system, structure is defined by <strong><a
