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.

Mutoh RJ-900X vs Sawgrass Virtuoso VJ628--RJ-900 Saves Over $9,240 in ONE YEAR!

Mutoh RJ-900X Using GO NeoTack Ink Saves Big!

The new Sawgrass Virtuoso 24-inch dye sub printer branded as the VJ628 has been recently launched worldwide by Sawgrass. Based on the 24-inch VJ628 from Mutoh, this Sawgrass version of the printer has a good ink security system so that a user can only use Sawgrass ink. Of course, this is great for Sawgrass, but not so great for users. As you will note below, Sawgrass really charge exorbitant prices at an equivalent price of $495 per liter. Yes, you are reading this right, $495 per liter. 

For comparison purposes, our GO NeoTack Dye Sub ink, offering the industry's most "outrageous color gamut" is only $115 per liter. So, how can you save $9,240 in one year? If you use four liters of ink per month, a very conservative estimate, your cost with Sawgrass would be $20,490 annually with the printer. If you use GO's NeoTack dye sub ink four liters per month, the cost would be $11,250 including the printer, giving you a savings of over $9,240 annually. In fact, if you use GO's NeoTack as outlined below, you will save enough in one year to buy another RJ-900 printer. It's like receiving a free printer!
