Why a New DTF Ink?

In most DTF workshops, the issues don’t come only from the machines.

The most common challenges are:

Clogged printheads
Inconsistent colors
Excessive maintenance time
Unstable results depending on the media

The common factor: the ink.

Even with a high-performance printer, unsuitable ink can limit overall production performance.

That’s exactly where Color Prime Chroma inks were developed to make a difference.

Color Prime Chroma : an evolution designed for production

After several phases of testing and development, the goal was clear:

👉🏼 Improve reliability without compromising color quality.

The result: an ink designed to directly address the critical challenges of DTF production.

What Chroma Ink actually changes in production

1. A Wider Color Gamut

+10% wider color gamut

Richer colors
Smoother gradients
Better visual consistency

👉🏼 Direct impact: a higher-quality finish for the end customer.

2. Wide Compatibility

Compatible with most DTF printers
Not limited to a specific brand

👉🏼 Easier integration into existing production workflows.

3. Optimized Fluidity

Reduced clogging
More stable ink flow
Fewer technical interventions

👉🏼 Direct impact: less machine downtime.

4. Improved White Ink Management

More homogeneous pigment distribution
Less sediment buildup
More consistent coverage

👉🏼 A critical point in DTF production — significantly improved with Chroma ink.

5. An Ink Designed for Long-Term Performance

Less waste
Fewer unexpected issues
Greater consistency in production

👉🏼 Produce with more confidence and fewer operational constraints.

Development Based on a Real Market Issue

The development of Chroma started from a simple observation:

👉🏼 DTF printing relies on a balance between:
Printer + Ink + Film

For a long time, the ink was the weak link.

The main priorities were:

Reducing clogging
Stabilizing print performance
Improving consistency

Then came the second step:

👉🏼 Enhancing color quality without sacrificing reliability.

That’s what led to the creation of Chroma.

How to convert your DTF Station Printer to Chroma Ink

Which Inks Should Be Used with Chroma Inks?

The conversion is only required for the CMYK inks.

The white ink remains the Color Prime - Color ink bottle (WHITE) for Prestige DTF printer (1000 ml).

For an 8-color machine, the additional RGBO inks also remain unchanged:

How to Convert Your Printer to Chroma Inks

The conversion can be carried out by yourself by following this video, provided you have basic technical skills.

This video shows the different steps required to remove the current CMYK inks from your printer and refill it with Color Prime Chroma DTF inks.

RIP Software Update

You will also need to update your RIP software (DigiRIP or NeoSTAMPA) and select the “Chroma” color profiles to fully benefit from the conversion to CHROMA inks.

👉🏼 Conversion service by our certified technician available on request.

If needed, our technical team can also perform the conversion directly at your premises, carry out the necessary checks to ensure your machine operates correctly, and install the new color profiles on your software.
