Roland S-PG2 is the next-generation DTF ink developed specifically for the BY-20 Desktop DTF Printer. Building upon the performance of the original S-PG inks, S-PG2 offers enhanced stability and reduced maintenance—minimizing downtime and improving reliability, especially during periods of printer inactivity.

Engineered to deliver consistent, high-quality prints with minimal manual intervention, S-PG2 inks are priced the same as the original S-PG line while providing a marked improvement in operational ease.

Key Benefits of the Roland S-PG2 Inks:

  • Improved Stability: Designed for better idle-time performance.

  • Reduced Manual Cleanings: Less frequent head cleanings required.

  • Lower Maintenance Needs: Streamlined system upkeep.

  • Same Price Point: No increase in cost over previous generation inks.

Important Compatibility Note:
S-PG2 inks are not compatible with S-PG inks. All installed cartridges must be of the same generation (either all S-PG or all S-PG2) for the printer to function correctly. Mixing inks is not permitted.

Upgrading from S-PG to S-PG2:
For users who currently use S-PG inks and wish to transition to S-PG2, such users must perform a full ink system conversion using the S-PG2 Conversion Kit (sold separately).

For users who purchased their Roland BY-20 DTF Printer from dtgpro.com on or after April 8, 2025 - your printer has already been converted to accept S-PG2 inks!
