Inks & Toners

Why Should You Always Buy Original Ink And Toner?

Sawgrass Ink vs Other Inks: Sawgrass invented the sublimation ink process for digital printers and yet others, who made an inferior copy of their inks, claim their ink is the best.

The joy of cheap ink is soon forgotten when:

  • The head inevitably blocks; or the customer rejects the job because the ink has faded; or the colours print incorrectly due to cheap ink not having a colour management programmed like Sawgrass Print Utility to correct the colours.

Laser Printer Toners vs Compatible Toners: Compatible Toners were not made for digital laser transfers.

Testing that we have done yielded the following results:

  • Toner density was very low which made the prints almost transparent;
  • Very light prints, which in turn meant that the print looked faded after transfer.

Sawgrass™ Ink

Sawgrass™ genuine inks are different and is created purely for sublimation and Sawgrass™ printers.

The Sawgrass™ SG500 or SG1000 comes with original SubliJet UHD, a 4-color ink set perfect for all hard and soft polyester substrates.  The dedicated team of PhD chemists continually test and refine these sublimation inks, which are manufactured 100% in the USA.

Creating the perfect formula for sublimation ink takes time, patience, and expertise. It demands the best raw materials and an in-depth understanding of their properties. They are proud to have a research and development team that fine-tunes the inks specifically to their printers to provide their users with unparalleled efficiency, vibrancy, and quality.

They make their inks from scratch by starting with the finest dye powder, and mill each dye colour individually with dispersing agents to make concentrates. These concentrates are used to target inks with optimal printing properties. Once their chemists are satisfied, the ink recipes are tested thoroughly by their US-based Quality Control team and scaled up for full manufacturing.

They take ink seriously.  Every single batch of ink that they produce, is tested and only released once it meets the Sawgrass™ stringent QC standards.

We highly recommend to use genuine Sawgrass ink sold at JG Electronics in your Sawgrass printers in order to prevent forfeiting your sawgrass warranty terms and for your system to run smoothly. Any non genuine Sawgrass ink used in your Sawgrass printers from 3rd party inks suppliers will experience grid marks across your image, it's simple, choose genuine inks to prevent that.
