Why Buy a 24-inch Pro Solution When a Pro 44-inch Dye Sub System Costs Less?

Imagine a Pro 24-inch System Costing More than a 44-inch Dye Sub System!
Thinking of upgrading from a desktop dye sub system or starting with a new dye sub system? As you ponder this question we are sure one of the questions will be whether to migrate to the next size up such as a 24-inch system, or go to a full 44-inch system? Our answer, as you will note below is, go for the 44-inch system. It makes sense financially for both short and long term...and is lower cost. And, the 44-inch offers far more capabilities and opportunities to make money as compared to the 24-inch system. By the way, did we mention the 44-inch system costs less!

What does a 24-inch or 44-inch system include? It includes the following components. 
  • Printer
  • Media Take-up
  • Printer Stand
  • Dye Sub Ink
  • Dye Sub Paper
  • Heat Press
The full outline of a 24-inch system from Conde and a 44-inch system from Graphics One is outlined in the following chart. It is important to note that in the end a user will pay less for the 44-inch system than for the 24-inch system. It's a fact.

Graphics One Offers Larger Printer and Larger Heat Press--MORE FOR LESS

You might ask what are the differences between the two offerings? Yes, there are differences. In the 44-inch system offered by Graphics One, the RJ-900X is 83% larger than the 24-inch Virtuoso VJ 628 dye sub printer. Another huge difference is that the system offered by Graphics One includes the Metalnox EL 900 Heat Press whereas the Conde system offers the Geo Knight DK32 Heat Press. The EL 900 is a much larger press and offers 42% more transfer space than the DK32. The DK32 is a very limiting heat press in size and will substantially limit the sizes. The EL 900 is the perfect size for the 44-inch Mutoh printer. If you would like to read a comparison between the Geo Knight DK32 and the Metalnox EL 900 please go to: Knight DK32 vs Metalnox EL 900 Heat Presses.

Sawgrass and Seiko EPSON Announcement--GO NeoTack Offers More Value

Sawgrass issued the following press release on January 18, 2013 regarding a licensing agreement between Seiko EPSON and Sawgrass. This press release was very interesting in that  Seiko EPSON made no comments in the release, but seemed to let their booth at ISS do the talking. 

Dye sublimation ink solutions provider Sawgrass Technologies, Inc., Charleston, S.C., and print technology company Seiko Epson Corporation of Japan announce that they have entered into a long term license agreement under which Epson, as an authorized Sawgrass licensee, will sell inks for sublimation imaging. The agreement is aimed at Epson printers and their patented piezo electric printheads to be used in the dye sublimation market.
Seiko Epson has extensively evaluated the Sawgrass global patent portfolio and signed a license agreement which allows them to legally enter the dye sublimation ink business with printers having a carriage width greater than 42 inches.
“We are very pleased to have a world class company like Seiko Epson enter into a license agreement,” says Nathan Hale, CEO of Sawgrass Technologies. “It is a validation of our hard work over the past 25 years and the innovation that is reflected in our growing intellectual property portfolio of more than 161 patents.”


During the ISS show there was much speculation about what this announcement really meant. From a Graphics One perspective the launch of our GO NeoTack patented ink offers capabilities that neither Sawgrass or EPSON offer, and our customers agree. Our NeoTack Dye Sub Ink offers tack with virtually unlimited colors, and at our standard GO value pricing. For added information about our NeoTack ink please click: GO NeoTack
