Graphics One is On SnapGuide with "How to Make a T-shirt in Under 60 Seconds"

Graphics One has completed its first SnapGuide as you will see here: How To Make a T-shirt in Under 60 Seconds.

The fact that we can image a t-shirt or garment complete in under 60 seconds is amazing. Consider this: the printer images the transfer sheet in 2 seconds, the heat press takes 30-40 seconds and the t-shirt is complete and ready to sell or use. The printer which is used for this is the GO UNO LED Transfer printer listing for $2,195. Additionally our GO UNO Transfer Paper is unique in that the paper is "no cut, no weed" and is super easy to use. Add a heat press and you are in business. In fact Graphics One offers a complete "Start Your Own T-shirt / Garment Business" for only $2,995. This package includes all the equipment needed to start.

GO NeoTack--How Does Tack Work?

During the ISS show we had a number of possible users ask about how the patented tack works and what the implications are. The tack is comprised of an inert chemical that does not activate until the temperature reaches 140 C. At that point the tack activates and adheres to the fabric. This eliminates ghosting and issues associated with not using tack paper. 

Some have inquired as to whether the tack ink will completely replace tack dye sub paper and the answer is no. In some cases where the fabric density is limited, tack paper may be needed. In the case where tack paper is used with NeoTack ink, then the combined tack is the strongest tack available. At $125 per liter, GO NeoTack offers the best dye sublimation ink value in the market.

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
