  • Publicado el 10 de Mayo de 2017

Among its array of empowering market leading solutions at FESPA 2017 (May 8-12, Hamburg, in Hall B5, Stand C44), Sawgrass, the global leader in dye sublimation innovation, will showcase its new Virtuoso Print Manager (VPM) and present partner demonstrations with T-Shirt Makers, Frézal Numérique and Technotape.


The launch of VPM demonstrates Sawgrass’ ongoing commitment to innovation and delivering the art of what’s next. Part of Sawgrass’ expanding suite of print management, colour management and online design software, VPM is the first universal print management solution for all of Sawgrass’ Virtuoso HD Product Decorating Solutions, including the SG400 (A4), SG800 (A3) and VJ 628 (A1 / roll-fed) printers.


VPM enables you to quickly and easily produce customised products with art generated from virtually any source. It facilitates integration of popular desktop graphics programmes, like CorelDRAW and Adobe Creative Suite, e-commerce or Web2Print solutions like CreativeStudio and even kiosks! It is also the first highly connective print manager to deliver RIP-like applications using both Windows and Mac operating systems.


“Virtuoso Print Manager is breaking new ground for Virtuoso HD Product Decorating System users,” said Darcy Mauro, President of Sawgrass. “It enables all three of the printers in our Virtuoso HD Product Decorating Systems to access one powerful, yet easy-to-use programme for the best quality prints for their printers and software. We are excited to show how this can help creative entrepreneurs develop a highly efficient and profitable production environment. This Sawgrass developed platform helps proactive operations successfully embrace the host of possibilities presented by the personalisation and mass customisation space.”



Daily live demos will show how Virtuoso Print Manager improves production efficiency with sublimation printing and makes it easier than ever to achieve great colour output. It is designed to be exceptionally easy to use, yet delivers efficiencies like job and image ganging to save media, as well as Web-to-print and hot folder workflows, normally reserved for costly and complicated RIP software. Additional features include: built-in ICC profiles for a wide variety of substrates and image types; direct import of .JPG, .PNG and CreativeStudio’s .SG or .SGZ files and a multilingual user interface in English, French, Italian, Spanish and Japanese.


Sawgrass is constantly innovating and partnering with leading solution developers around the world! The demonstrations will include Sawgrass workflows using Virtuoso Print Manager from CreativeStudio and Adobe Creative Suite, as well as Ecommerce / Web2Print workflows from T-ShirtMakers (IT), Kiosk workflow from Frézal Numérique (FR) and high volume mug printing from Technotape (NL).
