Focus on Dye Sublimation R A Smart HP Stitch S500
Make sure this printer is on your horizon The HP Stitch S500 offers customers features such as a built-in spectrophotometer for
consistent colour accuracy; the ability to print both paper transfer and direct to textile and the advantage of having a 100% front operating dye sub printer at 160cm wide (saving up to 40% on space).
The HP Stitch S500 has been developed with productivity and preventative maintenance in mind. One of the greatest benefi ts of the S500, compared with other systems on the market, is the up time they offer. For example, end-user replaceable printheads that can be changed in a matter of minutes and fully aligned automatically, with virtually no operator input required. Customers are able to log on to the HP PrintOS app to view the very latest status of their system, check the health of the printer, install new colour profi les and much more.
Minimal operator interference coupled with low running costs, high print speeds and an attractive purchase price means the HP Stitch range should absolutely be on the horizon for anyone looking to get into the dye sublimation market or expand their current operation. R A Smart is delighted to be partnered with HP as the exclusive distributor for the Stitch range of printers in the UK and Ireland.
