Prestige Color Prime Chroma DTF Ink - Red
Get cleaner, punchier reds on DTF transfers. Prestige Color Prime Chroma DTF Ink in Red is a dedicated red-channel ink for Prestige and other DTF printers that run an extended color set. Use it when CMYK alone can’t hit team reds, fire tones, brand reds, or saturated apparel graphics without looking orange or dull.
Color Prime Chroma is DTF Station’s current ink standard for the Prestige line. Red belongs in the extended Chroma / Color Prime specialty lineup—made in Korea, built for daily production, and sold here as a 1 kg bottle for shops that need a true red channel, not a CMYK workaround.
Why a Dedicated Red Channel Matters
CMYK can mix a red. A dedicated Red ink prints a red.
That difference shows up on:
- Sports and team apparel
- Brand logos that specify a true red
- Holiday, sale, and event graphics
- Fire, flame, and high-energy designs
- Skin-tone-adjacent artwork that falls apart when reds shift orange or pink
On RGBO and 9-color Prestige printers, Red expands the printable gamut so those colors stay saturated 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 for bold, saturated reds
- Smooth flow and production-ready viscosity for fewer clogs
- Consistent bottle-to-bottle color
- 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 Red with Color Prime Chroma CMYK, Color Prime White, Color Prime powder, and Color Prime QuickGlide film for the most consistent Prestige results.
Compatible Printers and Films
Formulated for DTF Station Prestige printers and compatible with most textile DTF printers that have a Red / RGBO / extended-gamut channel and the correct RIP profile.
Typical Prestige fits:
- Prestige printers with Red, Green, Blue, and Orange channels
- 9-color systems that include a dedicated Red
- Epson-based DTF platforms set up for Color Prime specialty colors
Works on quality PET DTF film:
- Cold peel
- Warm peel

Best results: Color Prime QuickGlide Film v3 plus Color Prime Hot Melt or Flex powder.
RIP support includes profiles used in Digital Factory and neoStampa. Load the correct ICC for Red. Do not drop specialty Red into a CMYK-only workflow and expect automatic color.

How to Use
- Gently agitate the bottle before opening.
- Fill the Red ink tank or pouch on a compatible DTF printer.
- Confirm the RIP is using a Red-channel / RGBO / 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 Red and clean the line before loading Color Prime. If you are already on Color Prime Red and the bottle now says Chroma, treat it as the same specialty Red channel unless your RIP provider issues a new profile.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this CMYK ink?
No. This is dedicated Red ink for printers with a Red / RGBO / extended-gamut channel.
Will it work in a CMYK-only Prestige printer?
Only if that printer actually has a Red channel and the RIP is set up for it. Do not put Red in a Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, or Black 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 kg.
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 Red only. Use Color Prime White in the white channel. Chroma White is a separate product timeline.
