This product is formulated for the Ricoh/Kyocera printhead chemistry and is a 1-liter bottle for printers using those printhead 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. 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.
