Why Was Chroma Created?
When we saw print shops struggle with clogged heads, dull colors, and wasted time, we knew ink was the problem. Color Prime® Chroma was born to fill that gap—delivering vibrant, reliable prints that make every job feel effortless.
Please Note: Color Prime® Chroma is launching in CMYK only. White Chroma is still in development and will debut in mid to late 2026. We’re taking the time to perfect it so it meets the same reliability and consistency you expect from DTF Station.
