Sawgrass Technologies, Inc. SubliJet IQ® Getting Started Guide for the EPSON Stylus D88

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of SubliJet IQ™ digital transfer inks. The SubliJet IQ™ sublimation ink cartridges are the latest advancement for the EPSON Stylus D88 from Sawgrass Technologies, Inc., a leader in the development of digitally driven color transfer technologies and related products.

With this system, your printed images can be transferred onto any product designed to accept sublimation dyes including: ceramic, metal, tiles, mylar, polyester fabric, performance wear, TEC Film, TEC Tile, UniSub, and Hanes Soft L’Ink® T-shirts, resulting in an attractive, durable product. Your imagination is the limit for producing brilliant, near photo-quality images on caps, clipboards, clocks, mugs, mousepads, plaques, puzzles, synthetic T-shirts, and more. SubliJet IQ™ is ideal for markets that personalize, customize or create short-run output.

In addition, your system is bundled with PowerDriver IQ™, a user-friendly color management software package that allows the user to create flawless transfers in less time. The “Fast Copies” option reduces print time by automatically spooling the file to the printer only once regardless of the number of copies. Design time is also condensed by utilizing the ColorSure Palette. The color palette contains 160 more spot colors and the custom palette gives users the ability to add, edit, import or export colors, thus streamlining the color matching process. Instructions for installation and use of this system can be found in this User’s Guide.

This document contains information for using SubliJet IQ™ inks and helpful tips are also provided for getting the best results from your transfers. The information provided pertains only to the use of SubliJet IQ™ in your EPSON Stylus D88 printer. If you have questions about the operation of your EPSON printer, refer to the EPSON Stylus D88 Printer User’s Guide.
