Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the XG8 System with SubliJet IQ™ digital transfer inks. This system for the EPSON Stylus Photo R800 & R1800 is the latest advancement from Sawgrass Technologies, Inc., a leader in the development of digitally driven color transfer technologies and related products.

Your XG8 System includes: SubliJet IQ™ inks, the QuickConnect II™ ink delivery system, and PowerDriverSupraXG8 color matching software. This revolutionary, comprehensive system takes sublimation to the professional level, allowing users to create perfect transfers with minimal effort. With true eight-color printing, the XG8 System increases color gamut, creates noticeably smoother gradient transitions, captures finer detail and adds color depth. The Red & Blue inks achieve true blues and richer reds for better spot colors and the Light Cyan and Light Magenta create the ultimate photo advantage with more realistic flesh tones and improved image quality.

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.
