About this product
The VC DYE Sublimation Refill Ink Bottle (non-OEM) is a replacement ink solution designed for Epson ET-8500 and ET-8550 printers. It features a broad color palette including Photo Black, Black, Cyan, Gray, Magenta, and Yellow, catering to printers that utilize multiple black/gray inks. This Vivid Colors branded ink is specifically formulated for dye sublimation print technology, providing users of compatible Epson models with a comprehensive set of colors for vibrant sublimation output.
Our take
If you own an Epson ET-8500 or ET-8550 and are looking into sublimation, this VC DYE ink set seems like a compelling option. The inclusion of Photo Black, Black, and Gray alongside the standard CMY is excellent for achieving nuanced color and grayscale in sublimation prints, especially for photographic work. Being a non-OEM dye sublimation ink, it's crucial to confirm your printer's setup is suitable for this conversion. The specific model compatibility is a strong point, but as with all non-OEM inks, be mindful of potential printer warranty implications.
