What's the score with these inks? I see they are advertised in the DSS banner add on the forum but nowhere do they appear on the DSS site. I believe the sole supplier is a German company - https://www.printequipment.de/en/sublim ... blisplash/

Anyone managed to get their hands on any of these inks yet, and how do they compare with others? I haven't logged in to the German site to see what kind of price they are.

These are being stocked solely by Dyesubsupplies in the U.K. but won't be available on the site until Monday.

Word is they're cheaper than Sawgrass inks and are giving better results.

The supplier have someone testing them to review on here shortly all being well. I was offered a setup myself but simply don't have the time right now.

Thanks Justin. Looking forward to the test results.

I will have my hands on it soon to see what the colours like. I will keep you posted.

Hi webtrekker, As Justin says all being well the ink will be in on Monday we jumped the gun with the banner as they should of been in on Friday but there was a delay with the courier.
We are the first reseller of the sublisplash inks in the UK and a very excited about the whole thing. Www.sublisplash.com will give you more information.
Regarding price they are 15% cheaper than sawgrass inks and in my opinion the course are fantastic especially the blacks, however Paul has kindly offered to test and review them so watch this space.
If you would like some more information and some printed samples please feel free to pm me and I will get it out for you.
regards
steve

Thanks for that Steve.

No need for samples as I'll wait for Paul's opinion which, as always, will no doubt be knowledgeable and unbiased.

It's good to hear that Sawgrass may now have some serious competition. There needs to be a price war amongst the top contenders as some of these inks to are priced using the 'think of a number and double it' scheme.

3 months ago we started using Mags' inks in a converted Epson sc-t3200. With his full support, custom profiles and using Texprint XPHR paper rolls, the results have been absolutely stunning. At 50 quid a litre + Vat we're well smitten with them. Deffo worth trying just 100ml of each to find out. Ken even dialled in to get our profiles spot on for us.

Is this Sawgrass licensed ink for small format? Even though Sawgrass aren't quite as bullish since the company split up I still thought they were upholding patent?

Hi Andrew,

let me introduce myself first:

My name is Mario Panter and I am CEO of Print Equipment based in Germany.
We launched Sublisplash at Fespa and had an overwhelming feedback on the print quality.
I`m glad that Steve /Dye Sublimation Supplies came on board to distribute Sublisplash in UK.

So back to your question:
The patent for sublimation ink to be used in Epson small format printers expired in the meantime.
A new patent for sublimation ink to be used in Ricoh small format printers was granted in January 2017.
However, Sublisplash doesn`t infringe that patent as our composition of the ink is different to the
kind of ink formula, for which the patent was granted. We`re clearly out of the protected range of specs.

Regards,

Mario

is sublisplash compatible with Epson 1500W ?
