Choose the right ink for your DTF printer configuration.
Not every DTF printer uses every color in this listing. Standard DTF workflows typically use CMYK plus White. Light Cyan, Light Magenta, Red, Green, Blue, and Orange should only be purchased when your printer, RIP, ink channels, and profiles are configured to use those specific colors.
W
White Ink
Use White as the underbase layer that helps CMYK colors appear bright, opaque, and vibrant on garments.
CMYK
Chroma CMYK
Use Chroma Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black for everyday full-color DTF transfer production.
LC/LM
Light Channels
Use Light Cyan and Light Magenta only on compatible printers for smoother gradients, skin tones, and photo-style output.
RGB/O
Expanded Gamut
Use Red, Green, Blue, and Orange only with compatible expanded-gamut printer configurations and profiles.

When should you buy each ink?
The safest way to order is to match your printer’s current ink channel configuration. If your printer is only configured for CMYK plus White, do not add light-channel or expanded-gamut inks unless your machine, RIP software, and profiles are set up for those colors.
Buy White when...
- Your printer uses white underbase for DTF transfers
- You need stronger opacity on dark garments
- You are replacing your existing Color Prime White ink
Buy Chroma CMYK when...
- You need Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, or Black replacement ink
- You are switching to the Chroma ink system
- You want richer color and smoother gradients in everyday DTF output
Buy LC / LM when...
- Your printer has dedicated Light Cyan and Light Magenta channels
- Your RIP profiles are built for those channels
- You need smoother blends, photo-style output, or softer tonal transitions
Buy RGB / Orange when...
- Your printer is configured for expanded gamut color channels
- Your profiles call for Red, Green, Blue, or Orange ink
- You need expanded color range beyond standard CMYK output
Important: Do not mix ink systems casually. If you are switching inks, flush the printer according to your technician, dealer, or manufacturer guidance before changing over.
