Invest in Sublimation Quality


 “Why should I buy a Sawgrass solution when there are other options on the market?”
The simple answer is quality.
Aftermarket sublimation products are freestanding items manufactured and sold by various companies, and when combined, they do not deliver the colour quality, consistency or production efficiency that you get with Sawgrass solutions.
With a Sawgrass Virtuoso HD Product Decorating System, customers are investing in a total solution – fully integrated, from design and print to service and support. Key selling points that focus on the value and quality of investing in a fully integrated sublimation system include:

Why Quality Counts


  • Customers value colour and print quality, and they will pay more for that quality
  • When competing in the sublimation market, the quality of your prints is one of the most crucial aspects of your business
  • Your customers’ ability to sublimate products consistently and accurately helps them gain repeat business
  • The quality of the inks, printer, paper and other products used in production greatly impacts the final images you make
  • Investing in high quality products for production reduces downtime and waste, ensures consistent prints, optimises your ink spend and keeps your business turning a profit in the long run

Virtuoso System Printers and Inks




  • The Virtuoso system offers the only printers designed specifically for sublimation ink and uses closed ink cartridges to preserve ink purity and keep out contaminants, which prolongs the life of the printer
  • Sawgrass SubliJet-HD ink, part of the Virtuoso system, contains a high density of dye solids for deep coloration
  • Virtuoso system printers and inks combine with Virtuoso Print Manager, the custom print driver developed by Sawgrass, to deliver the most efficient ink use, optimised colour accuracy and best print quality
  • NOW you can go to cotton with same inks for the other solutions, using SubliJet-HD ink and our SUBLICOTTON


    • Compare Sawgrass Solutions


    • All components of the Virtuoso solution are designed to work together to produce the best-possible prints for the least amount of ink spend
    • Virtuoso printers and Sawgrass SubliJet-HD ink sets are designed from the ground up specifically for dye sublimation
    • Other systems that use aftermarket inks formulated to work with converted office printers are not designed for sublimation printing and do not have the same ease-of-use, print quality, consistency or economy

    Virtuoso Print Manager


    • Virtuoso HD Product Decorating Systems take colour management and print quality to a much higher level than simple ICC profiles can offer.
    • Virtuoso Print Manger (VPM) is the next generation of our PowerDriver custom print driver and is continually updated with new features in response to market demand
    • Unlike stand-alone ICC profiles, VPM allows you to specify the type of substrate and paper you are using, for even greater print accuracy. This custom print driver manages colour based on the specific characteristics of both the printer and the ink set and compensates for colour shifts that normally occur during the printing process. Our SUBLICOTTON and our SUBLIPAPER are one of the medias approved by Sawgrass and part of the Specific designed ICC profiles
    • Using sublimation ink with other aftermarket office printers will not reach the level of colour accuracy and print management, which often results in wasted prints and substrates from rework and reprints

    CreativeStudio™


    • Virtuoso HD Product Decorating Systems includes access to CreativeStudio™, the online graphic design program built by Sawgrass specifically for sublimation production
    • Without investing hundreds or thousands in graphic design software and image licenses, CreativeStudio™ allows users can create, print and press quickly and easily with a Virtuoso HD Product Decorating System
    • CreativeStudio™ is a web-based design program that allows users to choose a product template, print-ready designs or customised design elements, and lots of colours, images, graphics and fonts to create their own product designs
    • Colours created with CreativeStudio™ – including spot colours - will match those in the print management software
    • CreativeStudio™ includes templates specific to sublimation substrates that are used most often, which saves time and money

    Sawgrass Technical Support


    • The fully integrated Virtuoso systems are completely covered by support from Sawgrass, which gives customers one place to go for all their questions, support and service – direct from the company who created each Virtuoso system component
    • The Technical Support team at Sawgrass is available to help customers with the initial system set-up, and with troubleshooting and other questions they may arise
    • Having a single source for all your technical support needs saves time and keeps your customers from having to chase down multiple vendors that may or may not be able to help, since using sublimation ink in aftermarket printers is not what those printers are designed for and may void the manufacturer’s warranty
    • Most printer manufacturers cannot provide assistance when the recommended inks are not used

    BusinessBuilder Education


    • Virtuoso HD Product Decorating System supports customers even more with a comprehensive education program called BusinessBuilder
    • The BusinessBuilder library of sales, marketing, business and production videos, webinars and white papers are an invaluable tool for product decorators at all levels of skill.
