Prestige Color Prime Chroma DTF Ink - Light Cyan
Get smoother blues and cleaner pastels on DTF transfers. Prestige Color Prime Chroma DTF Ink in Light Cyan is the light-cyan channel bottle for Prestige and other DTF printers that run an extended color set. Use it when process Cyan alone looks grainy in skies, highlights, and soft blue gradients.
Color Prime Chroma is DTF Station’s current ink standard for the Prestige line. Light Cyan belongs in the extended Chroma lineup—made in Korea, built for daily production, and sold here as a 1 Liter bottle for shops that need a true Lc channel.
Why a Dedicated Light Cyan Channel Matters
Process Cyan handles solid blues. Light Cyan handles the soft ones.
That difference shows up on:
- Skies, water, and highlight gradients
- Pastel and baby-blue apparel graphics
- Photo-style DTF prints with less speckle in light areas
- Brand colors that sit between white and cyan
- 9-color work where Lc keeps light tones from banding
On 9-color Prestige printers, Light Cyan expands the printable gamut so those light blues stay smooth after powder, press, and wash—not just on screen.
Color Prime Chroma Performance
Color Prime Chroma DTF ink is engineered for professional garment decorators who need color that holds up in production.
- High-density pigment tuned for light-cyan output
- Enhanced viscosity and flow for fewer clogs

- Strong wash performance when properly powdered, cured, and pressed
- Soft hand on cotton, polyester, and blends
- Made in Korea with premium raw materials
- OEKO-TEX® compliant with SDS available
Pair Light Cyan with Color Prime Chroma CMYK, Light Magenta, Color Prime White, Color Prime powder, and Color Prime QuickGlide film.
Compatible Printers and Films
Formulated for DTF Station Prestige printers and compatible with most textile DTF printers that have a Light Cyan / 9-color channel and the correct RIP profile.
Typical Prestige fits:
- Prestige X6 and other 9-color Prestige systems
- Printers with Light Cyan and Light Magenta channels
- Epson-based DTF platforms set up for Color Prime specialty colors

How to Use
- Gently agitate the bottle before opening.
- Fill the Light Cyan ink tank or pouch on a compatible DTF printer.
- Confirm the RIP is using a Light Cyan / 9-color profile.
- Print a nozzle check, then run a small color chart before a paid job.
- Powder, cure, and press with your standard Color Prime film and powder settings.
If you are switching from another ink brand, drain the old Light Cyan and clean the line before loading Color Prime. If you are already on Color Prime Light Cyan and the bottle now says Chroma, treat it as the same Lc channel unless your RIP provider issues a new profile.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this CMYK ink?
No. This is dedicated Light Cyan ink for printers with an Lc / 9-color channel.
Will it work in a CMYK-only Prestige printer?
Only if that printer actually has a Light Cyan channel and the RIP is set up for it. Do not put Light Cyan in the Cyan tank.
Does it work with Prestige printers?
Yes. It is sold for the Prestige / DTF Station Color Prime ecosystem and most compatible DTF printers.
What size is the bottle?
1 Liter.
What film should I use?
Any quality PET DTF film works. Color Prime QuickGlide Film v3 is the best match.
Is White included?
No. This listing is Light Cyan only. Use Color Prime White in the white channel. Chroma White is a separate product timeline.
