Hi Jeannie
I do not have the advantage but I do have a Brother and just got an anajet. What do people not like about the look or color? I have never had that problem. On the advantage do you have to pretreat the white shirts as well as the colored ones? is it the darks shirts they do not like or even the light colors?

Jeannie,

Have you contacted Sawgrass about your color challenges? I am only slightly familiar with the CMYK only driver. You might want to try and print from a different application (i.e. Corel to Photoshop) to see if the colors look better. Odds are there is a setting in the graphic software or printing software that if changed, will improve your color.

Are you running the new RIP software? I ask because the shirts that were sent to me from Sawgrass done with the white ink looked pretty good to me. Here is a link to the post with the pictures - Sawgrass White Ink - Wash Test Pictures. I just spent the entire day at the RIP manufacturer's office and saw some of the samples they had. I can tell you that the color gamut of the Sawgrass ink is one of the largest when using the correct settings in your graphic software and using the RIP.

Ultimately, there is hope for getting great colors. You just need to figure out some settings. Give Sawgrass a call. Best wishes.

Mark

Jeannie,
How is your shirts holding up with washing?
I have had a direct advantage for a year.....sometimes the ink washes out, sometimes it good.

Hi Tweat,
I've done at least a thousand shirts or more with the sawgrass and haven't had any problems. Digital Art Solutions and Great Dane Graphics have put together some good artwork to use for all DTG printers. They use corel 8 cv colors and if you print a test of all the colors on white t-shirts to use you'll be able to get the results you are looking for. Some jobs go to the the screen printer and some go to the DTG but the costomer gets to see samples of both processes and makes the decision. Talk to Mike in sales at Digital Arts Solution and he will be able to help you. Good Luck, Rick
