Frequently Asked Questions
What is sublimation ink?

No. Sublimation ink must be used with a compatible sublimation printer or an appropriately converted printer. Always verify compatibility before installing ink.
Can different sublimation ink brands be mixed?
Mixing ink brands or ink formulas may cause color inconsistencies, clogged printheads, or printing problems. Follow the printer manufacturer’s recommendations before changing ink types.
How do I choose the correct cartridge?
Match the cartridge or ink series to the exact printer model listed in the product description. Contact DyeCraft Direct before ordering if you are unsure which ink is required.
How should sublimation ink be stored?
