When choosing an ink provider, look beyond ink price and consider ink performance.

Ink price alone has little if any impact on the profitability of your business. In fact, considering labor, amortization and maintenance, ink price is only 41% of Total Print Cost. On the other hand, Ink Performance has everything to do with controlling the bigger costs such as waste and maintenance that directly impact your bottom line. Most importantly, Ink Performance directly impacts revenue potential (throughput) of every machine in your shop.

Fewer Head Replacements

AMAZING RUN-ABILITY MAXIMIZES UPTIME AND REDUCES COSTS

Superior Run-ability separates SubliM Direct from all other sublimation inks. Better run-ability means that you’ll experience fewer nozzle clogs, power-cleans, head and damper replacements. This greatly reduces both maintenance material costs and machine down-time.

LARGER COLOR GAMUT PROVIDES UNMATCHED COLOR VIBRANCY AND DEPTH

SubliM Direct’s 20% Larger Color Gamut lets you separate yourself from the competition with unmatched color vibrancy and depth. With SubliM Direct you get richer Reds, Blues and Blacks and overall better saturated colors and contrast.

GREATER COLOR DENSITY MAXIMIZES INK YIELD

SubliM Direct’s Superior Color Density provides better coverage with less ink! This enables you to run at lower ink limits, and reduces your ink consumption by 6.5%.

ZERO WATER SPOTS AND WASH OFF

No more water-spots and wash-off! SubliM Direct’s lower fixation temperature completely eliminates the water spots and wash-off associated with lesser inks.

FASTER DRYING IMPROVES COLOR Uniformity AND REDUCES WASTE

SubliM Direct’s faster drying time eliminates ink mottling and blotches. You get uniform colors, smooth color transitions and the best overall image quality available. Faster drying reduces waste, maintenance costs and downtime associated with paper or media cockling.

SubliM Direct runs in high-speed modes with no sacrifice in color. SubliM Direct’s unique combination of high-speed technology and greater color density enables you to take full advantage of your high-speed printers

The SubliM Direct Experience...

"I was using original OEM ink in my d.gen Teleios printer, and constantly struggled with bad colors and clogged print-head nozzles. The waste was high, and the productivity was very low. The switch to Sawgrass Technologies’ SubliM Direct ink changed all that. I don’t have to worry about head clogging (there is none), and the colors come out right and vibrant, print after print. I am now able to obtain colors I was never to achieve before, such as bright reds, pinks and yellows. The productivity - and the color—have reached highs far above what I had envisioned."
