    New Sawgrass VJ 628 printer 25"

    I was pondering on the next step up from A3 and of course reviewing the obvious printers mentioned on this forum but then came across this new Sawgrass printer.
    http://www.sawgrassink.com/Products/...t-Printer.aspx

    Do not think it is available in the UK, yet, but if anyone knows more especially price and ink costs then I'm sure many of us would be most interested.

    Is this just a rebadged Mutoh like the Ricohs?

    The new Sawgrass printers are not a rebadge but redesigned from the ground up to be dedicated sublimation printer (rather than colour office printer) just inside similar body. We actually moved over from 3110 to 400 today and very happy with better definition and speed of print. I would therefore presume the same with the new 628 where they turned Mutoh 628 into dedicated sublimation printer. We installed Powerdriver 4 (been using icc profiles until now) and very happy with colours although we have 7100 A3 printer and need to match colours on both (400 for mugs and 7100 for coasters/placemats) so hoping powerdriver will produce same colours on both. Anyone else use PD for A4 and A3 and get exact colour match? Olly

    I read that this printer uses the Epson DX7 printhead, very surprised ad it was a disaster in the Epson for sublimation.

    How does this cost out with printer and inks, compared to a more generic Epson based wide format and Inktec (or other pro level sublimation inks)
    How does it compare with the the original Mutoh version of the printer? Are you paying a Sawgrass tax?
    How do the wide format Epson sublimation printers (T series?) compare?
    With so many options in wide format land, which are more tried and tested, why bother with Sawgrass?

    Doubt it ... have you got evidence?
