“High-standard DTG ink should withstand 50+ wash cycles without fading, and prints stay durable for over 50 washes.”

The 50+ wash figure appears only in Winnerjet's curing blog, where it is the payoff of correctly balancing time, temperature and pressure during curing — not a property of the ink itself, and given with no test method, wash protocol or standard. INKBANK, the ink manufacturer publishing actual technical data, is the better authority on ink performance and never states a wash count: its TDS reports washing fastness as grade 4-5 on a 0-5 scale, with dry rubbing 4 and wet rubbing 3. So the sources support '50+ washes' as a cured-print outcome claim from one vendor, not as a measured professional benchmark for high-standard DTG ink.
