Why buy consumables from China Print Supplies?
- Matched to the machines we supply. We support the printers we sell, so our inks and primers are chosen to work with them. You don’t have to guess about compatibility.
- Lower running costs on Mimaki printers. Our CPS-series inks are chemically matched, plug-and-play alternatives to Mimaki LUS inks. Our UV cleaning liquid is £89 + VAT per litre, compared with around £30 for 100 ml of the Mimaki original.
- Ink conversion service. If you’d like to switch an existing Ricoh-head printer to SinoColor ink, we can carry out the conversion.
- UK stock and advice. Consumables are shipped from the UK, and you can speak to a team that knows the machines.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are your Mimaki alternative inks safe to use in my printer?
Yes. Our CPS120, CPS150 and CPS170 UV inks are chemically matched to Mimaki LUS-120, LUS-150 and LUS-170, and are plug-and-play compatible. They’re designed to deliver the same UV curing, adhesion and colour as the originals at a lower cost. Our UV cleaning liquid is compatible with both our inks and Mimaki originals.
Which UV printer ink do I need?
It depends on your printer’s print heads. If you run a Mimaki with LUS inks, choose the CPS ink with the same number. For Epson-head UV printers (i1600, i3200, DX5, DX7), choose SinoColor Epson-series ink, and for Ricoh Gen 5 or Gen 6 heads, choose SinoColor Ricoh-series ink. If you’re unsure, send us your machine model.
Do you supply DTF ink?
DTF ink, powder and film are available on request for the DTF and UV DTF printers we supply. Contact us with your machine model and we’ll quote. Our online consumables range currently covers UV printer ink, primers and maintenance supplies.
When do I need a primer for UV printing?
Use a primer, also called an adhesion promoter, when printing on glass, metal, ceramics and some plastics, where UV ink can’t bond reliably on its own. Our Fujifilm Uvijet ZE680, ZE700 and ZE720 primers are wiped on before printing. Ask us which grade suits your material.
How should I maintain my UV printer?
Clean around the print heads and capping station daily with UV cleaning liquid and lint-free wipes, and run the printer’s own maintenance routines. Regular cleaning prevents blocked nozzles, keeps print quality consistent and extends print head life.
