How to Use This Printer Ink Compatibility Guide

Before you order printer ink, confirm these four things. Matching all four prevents the most common wrong orders.

Do not order by brand alone.

"Roland ink," "Mimaki ink," or "Mutoh ink" is not specific enough. Many printer brands use multiple ink families, and those ink families are not always interchangeable. Always match your ink to the exact printer model and the ink already installed in the machine.

Still not sure? Send DPI Supply your printer model, current ink label, and color setup before ordering. Contact DPI Supply →

Roland Ink Compatibility Guide

Roland printers use different ink systems depending on the printer series and generation. A TrueVIS printer running TR2 ink should not be treated the same as an older VersaCAMM or SolJet printer running Eco-Sol MAX or Eco-Sol MAX 2. This section helps you confirm the correct Roland ink family before you order.

Roland TR2 Ink

TR2 ink is commonly used with Roland TrueVIS VG2, SG2, VG3, SG3, and VF2 series printers. This is the correct section for buyers searching for Roland TrueVIS replacement ink, TR2 500ml ink, or TrueVIS ink bags.

Roland Eco-Sol MAX Ink

Eco-Sol MAX is a separate Roland ink family used in select SolJet, VersaArt, VersaCAMM, and VersaStudio printers. Confirm whether your printer uses Eco-Sol MAX before ordering, especially if you are comparing 220ml, 440ml, or 1 liter replacement ink options.

Roland Eco-Sol MAX 2 Ink

Eco-Sol MAX 2 is not the same as Eco-Sol MAX. Confirm your exact printer model and ink label before ordering, because using the wrong ink family can create avoidable production issues.

Mimaki Ink Compatibility Guide

DPI Supply has strong product depth in Mimaki inks, especially around SS21, ES3, LH100, and the LUS UV-curable series. Match your printer model, ink series, and format carefully — these families are not interchangeable.

Mimaki SS21 Ink

Mimaki SS21 is one of the most important ink families for sign shops, banner printers, decal makers, and wide-format production teams using compatible Mimaki solvent printers. Common model families include JV3, JV5, JV33, CJV30, JV150, CJV150, JV300, and CJV300. Available in 440ml, 1000ml, and 2000ml formats.

Mimaki ES3 Ink

Shoppers often confuse SS21 and ES3. Check your current ink label and printer setup before choosing between Mimaki SS21 and ES3 replacement inks.

Mimaki LH100 UV Ink

LH100 is a rigid UV ink system used in Mimaki LH-100 UV Cure / UV-LED workflows. Ideal for high-volume UV printing on rigid substrates, with chip recognition and 1 liter bottles.

Mimaki LUS-120, LUS-150, and LUS-170 Ink

LUS inks are Mimaki UV-curable ink families for compatible systems. They are not interchangeable — match the exact LUS series to the ink system currently used by the printer.

Mutoh Ink Compatibility Guide

Separate your Mutoh search by ink family — Eco-Ultra, MS31, and MS41 map to different ValueJet and XpertJet systems. Match the ink to your exact model and current setup before ordering.

Mutoh Eco-Ultra Ink

Mutoh Eco-Ultra replacement ink is the fit for ValueJet buyers who need 440ml or 1 liter options. Common models include ValueJet 1638, 1624, 2638, 1324, 1204, 1304, 1604, and 2606. Match the ink to your ValueJet model and current setup before ordering.

Mutoh MS31 Ink

MS31 is a common Mutoh eco-solvent search. Confirm whether your Mutoh printer currently uses MS31 before ordering.

Mutoh MS41 Ink

MS41 is the fit for XpertJet buyers, especially XPJ-1641SR and XPJ-1682SR users, with a clear printer-model search path.

HP Ink Compatibility Guide

HP Latex and HP UV are different buyer paths. Verify the exact HP printer model and cartridge number before ordering.

HP 831 Latex Ink

HP 831 Latex ink is built around HP Latex 300-series buyers. Common models include HP Latex 310, 315, 330, 335, 360, and 365.

HP 789 Latex Ink

HP 789 is a separate latex ink and should not be grouped too closely with HP 831. Verify the exact HP printer model and cartridge number before ordering.

HP UV Ink

HP UV ink buyers are looking for ink for compatible HP Scitex UV systems, including HP Scitex FB500, FB550, FB700, and FB750.

DTF Ink Compatibility Guide

For apparel decorators and DTF shops buying ink, film, powder, and supplies together. Match your ink system, cartridge or bottle style, and white ink setup before ordering.

DTF Ink for Production DTF Printers

This covers DTF printers that use CMYK and white ink for apparel transfer production. Match your ink system, cartridge or bottle style, and white ink setup before ordering.

DTF Ink for Epson-Based and Converted Inkjet Printers

Epson printers are not all DTF printers out of the box. This is framed around Epson-based or converted inkjet systems, not standard Epson photo printing.

DTF Ink, Film, Powder, and Supplies

Many DTF buyers need more than ink. Shop film, powder, cleaning supplies, and other DTF production items.

Epson Ink Compatibility Guide

Epson buyers may be looking for standard ink, sublimation ink, or DTF ink for a converted printer. Choose the correct category based on how the printer is being used.

Epson Ink for Standard Printing, Sublimation, and Converted DTF Systems

Important:

A standard Epson printer should not be treated as DTF-ready unless it has been properly converted and set up for DTF printing.

Cleaning Supplies and Maintenance Products for Printer Ink Systems

Buyers choosing ink also need cleaning solution, flushing fluid, cartridges, and maintenance items. Keep the right supplies on hand for solvent, eco-solvent, UV, and DTF systems.

Not Sure Which Ink Fits Your Printer?

If you are not sure which ink your printer uses, do not guess. Send DPI Supply your printer brand, exact model number, current ink label, color setup, and the type of work you print most often. That information makes it much easier to point you toward the right ink, cleaning solution, or replacement product.

Printer Ink Compatibility FAQs

How do I know which ink my printer uses?

Check the printer model, the current ink label, the ink cartridge or pouch, and your printer documentation. If you are still unsure, send DPI Supply a photo of the current ink and your exact printer model before ordering.

Are Roland TR2 and Eco-Sol MAX inks interchangeable?

No. TR2 and Eco-Sol MAX are different Roland ink families. Always match the ink to the exact Roland printer model and current ink system before ordering.

Are Mimaki SS21 and ES3 inks the same?

No. SS21 and ES3 are different Mimaki solvent ink families. If your printer is set up for SS21, shop SS21-compatible ink. If it is set up for ES3, shop ES3-compatible ink.

Can I use Mimaki LUS-120, LUS-150, and LUS-170 inks interchangeably?

Do not assume they are interchangeable. LUS-120, LUS-150, and LUS-170 are different Mimaki UV ink series. Match the exact ink series to your printer and current setup.

Can I use DTF ink in any Epson printer?

No. DTF ink should only be used in printers that are properly set up or converted for DTF printing. A standard Epson printer should not be treated as DTF-ready unless it has been converted and configured for that workflow.

Do I need cleaning solution when switching or replacing ink?

Sometimes, yes. It depends on the printer, current ink, replacement ink, and whether the system needs flushing or cleaning. It is smart to keep the correct cleaning solution or maintenance fluid available, especially for solvent, eco-solvent, UV, and DTF systems.

What information should I send DPI Supply if I need help?

Send your printer brand, exact model number, current ink series, ink format, color setup, and a photo of the current ink label. If you are having print issues, include details about banding, clogging, color shift, or the material you are printing on.

Still Not Sure Which Ink to Order?

Printer ink compatibility can get confusing fast, especially when you are comparing ink series, printer generations, cartridge sizes, pouches, bottles, and color setups. If you are unsure, send DPI Supply your printer model and current ink information before ordering.
