Mutoh EMEA introduces DS4 ProFlex Sublimation Ink

Mutoh Europe nv, EMEA division of Mutoh Industries Co. Ltd., Japan, announces the release of DS4 ProFlex, a newly developed dye sublimation ink designed to deliver consistent, high-quality production printing results on a wide range of polyester-materials. Created to work with Mutoh’s latest generation of water-based sublimation printers—including the XpertJet 1341WR-P, 1642WR-P, and the future 1682SR DS Pro (Summer 2025)— the DS4 ProFlex ink offers better colour control, reliable printing, and smoother workflows.

The ink, successor of Mutoh’s DS3 ink, uses a refined formula with new colour ingredients, improved grip on transfer paper and reduced sensitivity to temperature variations during printing. These upgrades translate to more stable colour reproduction, even during long production runs or when working with uncoated or lower-cost transfer paper.

Key highlights of DS4 ProFlex ink

Bright, stable colours—even on budget or uncoated sublimation paper
Consistent high speed output with stable drop control
Faster sublimation activation at 195°C, saving energy
Reliable printing during long print jobs or temperature changes
Renewed ink formulation to be ready for ECO PASSPORT by OEKO-TEX^® certification (for safe use in textiles)
Compatible with both transfer and direct-to-polyester printing

DS4 ProFlex comes in clean, degassed 1 kg pouches and is compatible with Mutoh’s advanced AccuFine piezo printhead technology. It’s suitable for use in among others sportswear, fashion, signage, and promotional items.

The ink will be available through Mutoh Europe’s network of certified distributors across the EMEA region.

Note

ECO PASSPORT by OEKO-TEX^® is currently pending. The XPJ-1682SR-DSP printer is expected in summer 2025.
