InkTec Europe today announced two developments...

Firstly, they are launching their 3D Sublimation films in A4 size, and 17" roll to the European market.

They will also be making available official 100ml bottles of Sublinova Smart sublimation inks. This is will mean you will be able to buy officially bottled 100ml bottles of their sublimation ink, not ones rebottled from litres by their resellers. You will know for sure what you have is the real deal, not contaminated or watered down and bottled in a proper clean lab etc

They are expecting stocks in 6-8 weeks into the European warehouse, which to most DSF users advantage is in the UK. If demand is good they will start bringing in quantity to hold stock rather than have it to order.

Pricing per ml for the 100ml bottles should be about the same as currently for the litres, so the price to end customers should be about the same.

These lines will both be available through all official and authorised InkTec dealers.

My 100ml stock is due in tomorrow. It was myself and Christian who prompted them to supply in 100ml as we are currently spending at least 1 whole day per week bottling from 1 litre to 100ml bottles.

I also have samples of the 3D film, happy to post samples as we do not have a vacuum press to test it on unfortunately

No worries, I've been prompting them since 2011, as been rebottling it that long lol!

We feel your pain, not sure why it took them so long to be honest. We had a meeting with them last month and asked about the 100ml at leats they listened in the end! I'll post up some photos of the bottles when they arrive as it will be interesting to see how they are bottled and if they are foil sealed etc.

What machine are the aiming A4 film at?

I thought the same Justin as most 3D machines I have seen use A5 size film. Suppose its no major hassle to cut it in half but still a bit odd.

We received our 100ml Sublinova ink bottle order direct from Inktec today. I think we are first UK supplier to take delivery but not sure. They are bottled direct from Inktec rather than being decanting down from 1 litre bottles. They come with the same style label as the Inktec 1 litre bottles including a batch number and use by date. They are also foil sealed under the cap too.

Took a few photos of them, will be updating our website and eBay listing photos over the next few days.

I do have an A4 machine film (from Sunfly), the only european vendor I've seen offering A4 machines was Sublimet (even though I know it's chinese rebranded machines).
