About Us

You are most likely looking at this as you run a heat transfer printing business and are looking for premium quality direct to film (DTF), UV, DTG and/or sublimation printing consumables, backed by expert, friendly service, and dispatched to you the same day.

​

We founded Redback Premium Ink in Castle Cove, Sydney, at the end of 2020 to do just this. We now operate from our Castle Hill warehouse where we not only sell the best quality ink, PET film and adhesive powder on the market, but supply our customers with DTF printer parts and heat presses (and parts and accessories) and now our own DTF printers. All items (including printers) are in stock, always, and customers can pickup if they'd like, or have their items shipped from our warehouse the same day via Australia Post or courier.

​

We pride ourself on the best customer service in the industry. We have been selling DTF consumables since the beginning of 2021 and have been lucky to grow with our small (and not so small anymore) business customers who rely on our advice and our desire to see them prosper, and who are very generous with their time and experience when we are trying to solve other customers' issues. We have an expert printer technician who can service/ repair DTF printers at very reasonable rates also.

 

Our products are second to none in quality, hence the premium moniker, but great value as they produce reliable, consistent quality. Our customers have peace of mind when ordering from us and can get on with what they do best, which is fulfilling their own customers' orders. They trust our products and trust they will be sent the same day.

​

All of our DTF ink is made in China from either German or Japanese raw materials. Its superior quality prevents printhead clogging and results in vibrant, durable prints and transfers your customers will love. Our sublimation ink is made in Korea and China, from Korean raw materials.

​

We are the DTF market-leading supplier in Australia, pioneering most of the DTF products on the Australian market. We have always and still stock the largest range of DTF products in Australia.  

 

DTF printing is a revolution in the heat transfer industry, with not only superior colour vibrancy and durability results compared to vinyl, screen printing and even sublimation printing for most substrates, but costs less and involves less work than these other processes, as long as you are printing with quality.

 

The ecotank inkjet printers our customers use are also significantly more environmentally responsible than older cartridge printing processes. In Australia more than 85% of ink cartridges end up in landfill. This is more than 25 million ink cartridges which take between 400 to 1,000 years to decompose, and leach toxins into the soil/ water in doing so. In decomposing, they also become microplastics which we are beginning to understand will cause far more environmental damage than larger less decomposed plastic items. We are committed to environmentally responsible practices, and use recycled packaging and water-based ink from ISO 14001 partners. ​
