Sawgrass Technologies has released SubliM Direct, its next generation
sublimation ink technology, ideal for high-speed production
environments that require the efficiency of a direct-print solution.
Sawgrass’ latest innovation for the wide format sublimation market
offers superior runability, expanded colour gamut and unrivaled
lightfastness.
Developed in Europe, SubliM Direct features strong colour vibrancy
across the spectrum, producing true reds and blues and the
industry-leading black. The new “no-binder” formulation allows
sublimation dyes to penetrate fabric and offer greater wear resistance
and enhanced UV performance. Additionally SubliM inks will not migrate
or bleed and have superior fixation with the use of a heating calendar
press or in-line heating system, thus offering the ability to produce
homogenous colour on both sides of the fabric for flag and banner
applications.
Designed for high production environments that demand constant high
performance, SubliM Direct has outstanding production capabilities and
faster drying times. The new formulation allows faster printing speeds
while maintaining ink densities and offers the option to reduce ink
limits up to 20 percent per channel and still maintain colour vibrancy
and density. SubliM Direct works with all fabrics treated for Direct
Print Sublimation. Sawgrass offers on-site support packages, including
installation and training to minimize ramp up time for customers.
“The advancements of SubliM Direct will directly benefit our high
productions customers – from the superior performance of the inks to
the faster productions speeds,” said Peter Valinski, Direct of Sales
for Sawgrass. “Today’s growing businesses demand the best innovations
for their business and Sawgrass is committed to providing the fastest,
most reliable and productive solutions globally.”
