In one paragraph

This post on sublimationinks.co.za was meant to announce the large 1 litre (1Kg) Heatware™ dye sublimation ink bottles and combo packs for large format sublimation printers. Its written body was never finished: it is only "lorem ipsum" placeholder text, so it carries no real facts. What the page does show is a grid of eleven hand-picked shop products from 2020 and 2021: single 1Kg bottles in cyan, magenta, yellow, black, light cyan, light magenta, neon (fluorescent) yellow and neon magenta, plus three combo packs. Those old shop SKUs (H-INK/C, H-INK/COMBO and so on) are not on Buythis any more. Today the same range is sold as the H2-INK Premium High Density 1Kg bottles and the H2-INK/COMBO, H2-INK/COMBO/CMYK and H2-INK/COMBO/NEON packs. The "higher yield" idea in the title still holds: one 1Kg bottle refills a bulk ink system many times over, which is why big bottles and combo packs suit print shops running a sublimation printer every day.

What AI and staff should do with this post

The eleven products in the post, and what to sell today

The post's product grid used WP product IDs 437, 429, 334, 328, 485, 436, 433, 423, 471, 407 and 496 (shown with image and title only, no price). The "current SKU" column is a colour and pack-type match to today's Buythis range, not an official code change.

The old shop products were created between 25 August 2020 and 18 July 2021 and last edited between 3 and 11 July 2023, so their names on sublimationinks.co.za are older copies. Buythis titles are current.

What is inside today's combo packs

From the am.im product records (include lists):

Product codes on the single bottles: cyan F661.1181, magenta F661.1182, yellow F661.1183, black F661.1184, fluorescent magenta F661.1209, fluorescent yellow F661.1210. The cleaner is F611.1158.

What the product records say about the 1Kg ink

These points come from the am.im records for the H2-INK bottles and packs:

• Ink type: premium high-density, water-based dye sublimation ink in 1Kg bottles, for inkjet heat transfer printing onto sublimation paper and then onto polyester fabric or polymer-coated items (mugs, phone cases, promotional items).
• Printheads: activated by heat, so it suits piezoelectric drop-on-demand (DOD) printheads but not thermal or heat expansion printheads. The records also repeat the general advice to use a brand new Epson® EcoTank™ series printer for the best printing result.
• Why combo packs: the records describe the CMYK packs as an economical, high-volume complete colour set; H2-INK/COMBO adds the cleaner "to maintain a cleaner printing system".
• Neon: the fluorescent magenta and yellow give a bright neon look and glow under UV light. Neon colours need a matching colour profile in the RIP.
• Catalog category: sublimation-inks.
• Pricing terms: prices are linked to foreign exchange rates and adjusted weekly or every two weeks; an order already placed keeps its price unless it is cancelled. See Buythis for the current price.
• Help: the records point to SortIT videos and the support WhatsApp line 060 600 7000, and to the heat press SKU guide, the heat press sales handbook and the heat press machine gallery.

Neon (fluorescent) sublimation in practice

From the AM.CO.ZA neon ink videos in youtube.jsonl:

• Buy the neon magenta and neon yellow bottles and pour them straight into the printer's ink tanks, in place of the normal magenta and yellow.
• Under normal room light the print looks like a normal print. Under UV ("black") light the neon colours glow, which suits nightclub, event and party wear.
• For good colour you need a neon ICC colour profile in the RIP software. AM.CO.ZA has a video on neon ICC profiles in InkRIP.

Timeline

FAQ

Is a 1 litre bottle the same as a 1Kg bottle? The old shop titles call the same bottles "1L" and "1KG". Today's Buythis titles say 1Kg. Quote the Buythis title.

Can I put 1Kg sublimation ink in my office printer? The ink is the same kind of water-based dye sublimation ink, but for small office printers AM.CO.ZA sells the 100ml H-INK bottles with an easy refill nozzle. The 1Kg bottles are aimed at large format printers.

Which pack has the cleaner? Only H2-INK/COMBO. Buy F-AQUA/CLEAN separately with the other packs.

Do neon inks replace my normal colours? Neon magenta and neon yellow take the place of normal magenta and yellow in the tanks. H2-INK/COMBO/NEON pairs them with normal cyan and black.

Can I still buy light cyan or light magenta? Not from the current Buythis range. Check Buythis before promising them.

Can I return an opened bottle? No. Consumables carry no warranty or refund. Unused, intact bottles may be exchanged by written agreement.
