Description
STS Dye Sublimation Ink Bag for Mimaki SB54 (2 Liter) — Professional Dye Sublimation for Polyester & Coated Substrates
The STS Mimaki SB54 2-Liter Bag is the high-capacity bulk format for SB54 compatible Mimaki printers. Requires Mimaki’s MBIS (Bulk Ink System). Same ink chemistry as the 440ml SB54 cartridge — more volume for high-production environments. When switching from non-OEM ink, flush each color before installing.
Key Features
High-viscosity dye sublimation formulation produces brilliant, accurate colors with smooth tonal gradations.
Manufactured by STS in the USA. Drop shipped directly from Florida for guaranteed freshness.
Nano-dispersed dye pigments penetrate polyester fibers fully during heat transfer for dense, vibrant output.
Virtually odorless during printing and transfer — safe for studio and commercial environments.
Engineered low sedimentation rate prevents printhead nozzle clogging across long production runs.
No VOCs. Water-based aqueous formulation for responsible printing.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FAQ — STS Dye Sublimation Ink Bag for Mimaki SB54 (2 Liter)
Yes. The 2-liter bag format requires Mimaki’s MBIS (Mimaki Bulk Ink System). This is an optional accessory that must be installed on your printer. If your printer uses standard 440ml cartridges only, order the SB54 440ml cartridge instead.
Yes — same ink formula, higher volume. The 2L bag reduces how often you change ink for high-volume production. Both match Mimaki’s original SB54 dye sublimation ink.
SB54 is confirmed for: JV33, JV34, JV150, JV300, CJV series (sublimation config), TS3-1600, TS5-1600AMF, TS30-1300, and TS34-1800A. SB54 is Mimaki’s current-generation sublimation ink, superseding SB53 on most newer models.
Dye sublimation ink bonds only to polyester fibers and polyester-coated hard substrates (aluminum, glass, ceramic, acrylic, coated plastics). It will not transfer to cotton or natural fibers. For hard substrates, use polyester-coated products specifically designed for sublimation.
Standard settings: 380–400°F (193–204°C), 30–60 seconds, medium pressure. Settings vary by substrate. Always test before production. Under-pressing = faded colors; over-pressing = color bleed.
No. All STS ink products are non-returnable. Confirm printer model, ink format, and OEM code before ordering. Call (512) 454-0505 if unsure.
Switching from OEM: no flush required — STS is a virtual OEM match. Switching from different non-OEM brand: flush each color first. STS certifies inks will not damage printheads.
All STS dye sublimation inks are manufactured in the USA by STS in Boca Raton, FL. Drop ship directly from Florida for guaranteed freshness.
