Color Prime®

It started with a hidden problem.

In the early days of the DTF industry, we saw a recurring pattern of frustration. Business owners were investing in high-end, expensive printers, expecting high-end results. Instead, they were met with chaos: clogged print heads, inconsistent colors, and frequent downtime.

We looked closer and realized the issue wasn't the machines—it was what was going into them. The market was flooded with "importers"—sellers who simply bought the cheapest consumables available, slapped a label on them, and hoped for the best. There was no research, no testing, and no accountability.

We knew the industry deserved better. We knew that for a printer to perform at its peak, the ink, film, and powder couldn't just be "compatible"—they had to be engineered to work in perfect synergy.

So, we stopped buying off the shelf. And we started building.

Color Prime was born from a refusal to accept the status quo. Our mission was simple but ambitious: to replace the chaos of generic imports with the certainty of science.

Engineered, Not Just Imported

We didn't want to be another middleman. We wanted to be the standard.

The Ink: We partnered with leading third-party labs and chemists to formulate inks that solve the "hidden problems" of DTF. Our flagship Color Prime Chroma Ink is the result of years of testing—delivering a 10% wider color gamut and industry-leading nozzle recovery. We don't just guess if it works; we prove it in the lab before it ever touches your printer.

The Film: We took our commitment a step further by investing heavily in our own manufacturing infrastructure. We built our own factory and hired university professors and chemical engineers to develop proprietary coating formulas. The result? An industry-standard, instant peel transfer film, Color Prime Quick Glide. By controlling the process, we ensure our films are reliable, consistent, and perfectly matched to our inks.

The Powder: At Color Prime, we treat adhesive powder with the same level of precision as ink and film. Our Flex Powder is engineered for consistent performance—curing evenly across dryers while maintaining a smooth, flexible hand-feel that enhances every transfer. Each batch is tested for melt stability and bonding strength to achieve dependable results time after time. The outcome is a powder that performs consistently and provides unparalleled production quality.

Trusted by the Best

Our relentless pursuit of quality turned heads quickly. DTF Station, a global leader in the industry, became our first major partner, trusting Color Prime to power their machines. Today, we don't just supply end-users; we are the secret engine behind many major OEM brands through our private labeling partnerships.
