Product decorators can now add fluorescent colours to graphics with Sawgrass’ new SubliJet-HD Fluorescent (FL) Inks for its Virtuoso 25″ 8-Color Product Decorating System featuring the VJ 628 Dye Sublimation Printer. The new eight-colour ink set adds fluorescent yellow and pink cartridges to existing SubliJet-HD C, M, Y, KXF, Lc and Lm configurations, resulting in a multi-purpose solution for a much wider range of applications than possible with traditional CMYK inks. “This newest ink set for the Virtuoso 25-inch 8-Color Product Decorating System is for all sublimation decorators who wish to add the excitement and visibility of fluorescent colours to their capabilities,” said Patrick McGinnis, Sawgrass’ Director of Product Marketing. “Finally, those who print college and professional sports products, corporate logos, promotional and safety products, high-visibility signage and other products can add both fluorescent accents and full-fluorescent prints to their design capabilities.”
SubliJet-HD FL provides a pre-configured colour palette of 16 fluorescent colours that can be loaded directly into Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator or CorelDraw graphics software for easy use. New colours can also be created, applied and saved to the palette for quick spot-colour matching and frequently printed jobs. In addition to fluorescent images, SubliJet-HD FL delivers “superior quality output for traditional prints,” said Sawgrass.
The VJ 628’s eight-colour capabilities with Lc and Lm components provide smoother gradients and shading for high-resolution images, when compared to traditional CMYK output. With the addition of SubliJet-HD Black XF to the set, this new configuration also provides extended image stability and longevity. SubliJet-HD FL currently manages colour using Wasatch Soft RIP. Additional RIP integrations are now in development.
