Cyan That Bonds Into the Material, Not Onto It
The Brother SP01C is a genuine 47ml cyan sublimation ink cartridge for the Brother SP-1 sublimation printer, formulated to transfer under heat into polyester fabrics and polymer-coated substrates rather than sit on top of them.
Sublimation is not printing in the ordinary sense. The ink goes onto transfer paper first, then heat and pressure convert it directly to gas, which bonds into the surface of the receiving material. Because no layer is left sitting on top, the result cannot be felt and there is nothing there to crack or peel away. It suits the Brother SP-1 and no other machine.
Cyan carries the blues and greens and cools an image where it needs to be cooler, so it works with the other three rather than on its own. Brother does not publish a page yield for its sublimation ink - its own answer is that it depends how often you print and how large or complex the designs are - so we quote the figure Brother does publish, which is the volume: 47ml per cartridge.
Brother recommends white or light-coloured items in 100% polyester, such as shirts, hats and jackets, or white and light-coloured items with a polymer coating, such as mugs, coasters and tumblers, and advises against PVC. A heat press is required and is bought separately; Brother notes that a household iron is not suitable for sublimation transfers.
