TexPrint DT Light Sublimation Transfer Paper 11in x 17in - Fast Drying

In this review the TexPrint DT Light sublimation transfer paper is assessed for small business and high-speed studio use; it is best suited to users who run Ricoh GX series or Sawgrass Virtuoso printers and need a paper that dries quickly while preserving color fidelity. The single biggest reason to buy is its coating formulation engineered for quick dry times and heavy saturation prints, which lets print operators move sheets from printer to press with minimal smudging or wait time. Overall it reads like a practical choice for dye sublimation workflows using SubliJet-R inks.

Key Features

• Printer compatibility: Optimized for Ricoh and Virtuoso (Sawgrass) printers so you can push high printing speeds without losing image detail.
• Quick drying coating: New formulation reduces dry time for easier handling of heavily saturated prints and fewer jams or transfer smudges.
• Ink pairing: Designed to work with SubliJet-R dye sublimation inks to preserve color fidelity through transfer.
• Versatile applications: Suitable for both hard and soft substrates including mugs, ceramics, tiles, metal and apparel for a wide range of projects.
• Sheet size and count: Comes in 11in x 17in sheets in a 55-sheet pack, a convenient quantity for short runs and sample work.
• Recyclable material: Part of the TexPrint family that emphasizes recyclability, reducing waste compared with non-recyclable alternatives.

Who It's For

The TexPrint DT Light paper is aimed at print shops, small production houses and hobbyists who use Ricoh GX-series or Sawgrass Virtuoso printers and require fast throughput with heavy saturation prints. Its quick-dry coating makes it particularly useful for operators who need reliable handling between printer and heat press during busy runs.

It may be less suitable for users who do not use Ricoh or Virtuoso printers or for those who need much larger bulk quantities; buyers on other printer platforms should verify compatibility with their ink system before choosing this paper.
