IndPrint

Sawgrass is to showcase its full portfolio of sublimation solutions, including the new Sawgrass VJ 628 8-Colour System and SubliJet-HD inks at Fespa Digital 2016 (Amsterdam RAI, 8 to 11 March, hall 7, booth T81).

Sawgrass president Darcy Mauro commented, ‘We worked with Mutoh to develop the VJ 628 System in direct response to dealer and end user requests for an alternative to the current 24 in/610 mm aftermarket solutions. We are thrilled to present the newest addition to our line of Virtuoso HD Product Decorating Systems and the industry’s first fully integrated eight colour sublimation system of this size to Fespa visitors.’

The VJ 628 features a high speed Mutoh print engine with i2 print technology that virtually eliminates banding. It is capable of printing a full bleed on 24” (610 mm) products and is equipped with high performance industrial printheads capable of printing up to 1440 x 1440 dpi – the highest resolution possible for printers in this category.

Designed specifically for larger format and high volume sublimation production, this system is ideal for interior signage, fine art and photographic reproduction or high volume production of personalised gifts and promotional products.

Available in dual CMYK or eight colour pro photo configurations delivering expanded gamut up to 548,000 colours, SubliJet-HD enables rich blacks, neutral greys and photo quality reproduction at the lowest cost.

Sawgrass will also showcase the newly launched Virtuoso HD Garment Decorating System, a fulluy integrated system designed specifically for cotton transfer printing. Featuring ChromaBlast-HD textile inks, ChromaBlast transfer media and both SG400 and SG800 printers, this system is ideal for decorating white and light coloured cotton fabrics with vibrant, durable images that are soft to the hand.
