SEBRING, Fla. - eTradeWire -- Guide for Dye, Pigment, Sublimation, DTF & Film Positive Inks

If you use an inkjet printer, how often you run it matters more than you think—especially depending on your ink type. Letting your printer sit unused can lead to clogged nozzles, wasted ink, or even permanent damage.

At InkProducts Inc, we provide high-quality, American-made refill inks and systems. Whether you print with dye, pigment, sublimation, DTF, or film positive ink, here's how often to use your printer to avoid costly issues.

🧪 Use Frequency by Ink Type

1. Pigment Ink – Every 2–3 Days

Pigment inks contain solid particles, which makes them ideal for sharp, fade-resistant prints—but also more prone to drying out. Use your printer every 2–3 days, especially if you're printing text or film positives.

InkProducts Inc offers pigment-based inks designed to reduce clogging, but regular use is still essential.

2. Dye Ink – Every 5–7 Days

Dye-based inks are water-soluble and flow more easily, so they last longer between uses. Still, we recommend printing once a week to prevent drying and color shifting. Ideal for general home or photo printing.

3. Sublimation Ink – Every 2–3 Days

Sublimation ink is sensitive to drying and settling. For the best performance, print small test pages every 2–3 days. If you're using a converted Epson printer, frequent use keeps ink moving through the system.

4. DTF Ink – Daily

DTF (Direct to Film) ink—especially the white ink—must be used daily. White DTF ink can settle quickly and clog lines if idle. Shake white ink daily and run test prints if you're not using it for production.

5. Film Positive Ink – Every 3–5 Days

Used for screen printing transparencies, this black pigment ink should be used a few times a week to prevent clogs. Print a solid black block or film test to keep channels open.

🧾 Final Thoughts

Using your printer regularly is the best way to avoid clogs, maintain quality, and extend its life. Pigment, sublimation, and DTF inks need more frequent use than dye-based inks. Plan your print schedule accordingly.
