Color Prime Chroma DTF Ink (1 Liter) | Wide Gamut DTF Ink for Epson i1600 & i3200 Printers

Color Prime Chroma DTF Ink

If you’ve watched my YouTube channel, you’ve heard me talk about three things over and over:

• Color accuracy
• Printer reliability
• Consistency

Chroma DTF Ink was designed around those same principles.

Rather than chasing unrealistic color claims, Chroma focuses on producing accurate color, smooth gradients, reliable jetting, and repeatable results across production runs.

Chroma is available as a core CMYK set plus four expanded colors: Orange, Green, Light Cyan and Light Magenta. You can run a standard four-color setup, or build out a wider-gamut configuration if your printer has the channels for it.

Whether you’re running a desktop printer or a commercial production system, the goal is the same:

Better color with fewer headaches.

Why I Chose to Carry Chroma Ink

I have tested a lot of DTF inks.

Some produce vibrant color but are difficult to maintain.

Others are stable but struggle to reproduce challenging colors accurately.

What impressed me about Chroma was its balance between:

• Wide color gamut
• Color accuracy
• Reliable printer performance
• Long-term consistency

For shops that care about matching brand colors, producing smooth gradients, and maintaining stable production, Chroma checks all the boxes.

Chroma CMYK: The Core Set

Black · Cyan · Magenta · Yellow

Every Chroma setup starts with CMYK. On its own, the four-color set delivers a measured color gamut of approximately 385,500 colors — enough to cover the large majority of apparel and brand work with accurate, saturated color and clean neutrals.

If you’re running a four-channel CMYK configuration, this is everything you need alongside your white ink.

Chroma Expanded Colors

Orange · Green · Light Cyan · Light Magenta

The expanded colors are additions to the CMYK set, not replacements. Each pair solves a different problem.

Orange & Green — More Gamut

CMYK has to build orange by overlapping magenta and yellow, and green by overlapping cyan and yellow. Mixing two inks always costs some saturation. Dedicated orange and green pigments reach brighter, cleaner oranges, red-oranges, and greens that CMYK simply can’t hit — think team colors, safety orange, kelly greens, and brand colors that sit at the edge of the CMYK gamut.

Light Cyan & Light Magenta — Smoother Tones

The light inks don’t expand the gamut much. Their job is quality. In highlights, skin tones, and soft gradients, a CMYK-only printer has to lay down sparse dots of full-strength ink, which can look grainy. With light inks, the printer fills those areas with more dots of a lighter ink instead — giving smoother transitions, cleaner skin tones, and less visible dot pattern in pastels.

Before You Order Expanded Colors

• Your printer needs channels configured for the additional inks.
• Your RIP must support the expanded ink set.
• You need an ICC profile built for the full ink configuration. Adding expanded inks to an existing CMYK profile won’t give you the benefit — and can make color worse.

Not sure if your setup supports expanded inks, or need a profile built for it? That’s exactly what I do — reach out before you order.
