Focus on Dye Sublimation Printing
Improvement in print and colour quality Dye sublimation printing has a long and varied history in the
industry, and the past decade has seen a huge shift in the perception of the process from that of a niche add-on, to an integral part of a fully functioning print-based business.
Much of this shift has been a result of the improvements in print and colour quality, and the increase in ease of use and reliability brought about by Sawgrass in the form of the dedicated SG/ VJ series sublimation printers. The latest generations offer further increases in speed and quality as well as the introduction of WiFi and additional substrates and colour correction options. Platinum dealer Nova Chrome UK offers a full range of Sawgrass equipment and consumables, including the SG500 (A4), SG1000 (A3) and VJ-628 (25in) – along with all the technical backup required to install and get the best results from these industry leading units. Ian McDowall, technical support advisor at Nova Chrome, says: “The range of options from Sawgrass mean that there is something for everyone – whether a smaller desktop unit for the hobbyist or those in smaller high street premises, all the way to fully fl edged solutions for production environments.”
The company offers a range of support solutions, and customer feedback and reviews stress the importance of this – along with the competition beating results – as important factors in deciding their sublimation supplier of choice.
For those unsure of which option to run with, Nova Chrome is extremely happy to discuss the expectations from the system, along with any other specifi c queries – and is happy to offer printed samples to better illustrate the quality possible with the solutions the fi rm offers.
