Sawgrass vs. Less Expensive Sublimation Systems


  • Sawgrass delivers more value for the dollar. Customers who purchase a complete system from Sawgrass get an industry leading solution with full company support, proven and award-winning print quality and the ONLY desktop printers engineered for sublimation printing and use with sublimation inks. These are the right tools to generate the most efficient and economical prints for their money.
  • Sawgrass offers reliability. In a business where time is money, Sawgrass systems keep customers printing with very little maintenance. Other, cheaper printers take a lot of time to maintain.
  • Sawgrass’ color profiles and spot color matching capabilities match what the printer and ink can produce because the programming is specific to the system. There is no guesswork for the customer, which means less ink, substrate and paper waste trying to get the right colors.
  • Software from Sawgrass is designed to manage color based on the specific characteristics of both the printer and the ink, and to compensate for color shifts that normally occur during the printing process. The result is more precise prints at the substrate level ensuring the highest quality image and minimal waste.
  • Investing in cheaper products can end up costing customers more in the long-run. Opportunity cost in lost time refilling cartridges, ruined prints because of smudging or banding, broken print heads that make printers unusable, ink carts that are drained dry and cause print head damage because there are no warnings to refill the ink …these are the hidden costs of “cheap” printers and inks.
  • Cheaper printers and inks oversaturate prints, using up to 50% more ink than Sawgrass printers. So, customers may initially pay less for their ink, but they ultimately use more ink AND lose image quality in the process.
  • Using aftermarket inks in a regular office printer can void the warranty, and the printer manufacturer usually cannot offer any kind of technical support. With a Sawgrass system, customers have one place to come for questions, support and service from the experts
  • Aftermarket ink companies offer little or no technical support, and only ICC profiles for color management. With Sawgrass, customers get a total sublimation solution with printer, ink, software and support, all optimized to help customers print faster and save ink, while producing the best colors possible.
