FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FAQ — STS Dye Sublimation Ink for Kyocera Printheads
The Kyocera KJ4 printhead is used in a range of wide-format textile and sublimation printers from various manufacturers including some industrial dye sublimation systems. The printhead itself is Kyocera-branded but the printer may carry another brand name. Confirm your printer’s printhead type in the documentation or by calling your printer manufacturer. Call (512) 454-0505 with your printer model for guidance.
The Kyocera and Ricoh ink formulations are matched to the specific jetting characteristics of each printhead type. Kyocera printheads (KJ4 series) and Ricoh printheads (GEN5/GEN6) have different nozzle geometries and ink requirements. Do not use Kyocera-formulated ink in a Ricoh printhead printer or vice versa.
This is a bulk 1-liter bottle for printers using Kyocera printhead technology. The SB53, SB54, Roland Texart, and Mutoh DH21 are brand-specific ink bags or cartridges with chips for those proprietary ink systems. These are completely different product types.
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.
Standard settings: 380–400°F (193–204°C), 30–60 seconds, medium pressure. Always test on your specific substrate before production.
No. All STS ink products are non-returnable. Confirm your printer’s printhead type before ordering. Call (512) 454-0505 if unsure.
Switching from OEM: no flush required. Switching from a 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 ships from Florida for guaranteed freshness.
