Sawgrass announces expansion of its partnership with Ricoh

Sawgrass Technologies announced the expansion of its partnership with Ricoh to continue its highly successful five-year relationship for desktop dye sublimation systems. With this extension Sawgrass remains the only partner for Ricoh in the desktop sublimation market.

Darcy Mauro, president of Sawgrass explains, “While Sawgrass has been the pioneer with digital dye sublimation products for over thirty years, we brought an unprecedented level of quality and consistency to dye sublimation customers five years ago with our Ricoh relationship.

“By matching the industry’s highest quality inks with superior Ricoh printhead technology, Sawgrass has been able to supply the widest color gamut in the industry while delivering the best substrate performance possible, all within the limits of dye sublimation.”

Tetsuya Morita, general manager of Ricoh’s Industrial Printing Business Group says, “As a leader in inkjet technology, Ricoh is very pleased to work with Sawgrass to engineer the first desktop dye-sub printers. We supply the authorized printer cartridges exclusively to Sawgrass, which are optimized for the best printer performance possible.

“We look forward to continuing to work with Sawgrass for many more years to come.”

With this level of partnership, Sawgrass and Ricoh are proud to announce the recent extension of this very successful OEM agreement to develop the next generation of desktop solutions dedicated to the dye sublimation. The future for product decoration has never been stronger!

Sawgrass continues to innovate with its dynamic print and color management software Virtuoso Print Manager, for optimal print quality, and its intuitive, online design solution, CreativeStudio. Together Sawgrass delivers the first and only dedicated sublimation solution for entrepreneurs and thriving product decorating businesses around the world.

In 2024, we are looking at full recovery and growth-led investment in Indian printing

Indian Printer and Publisher founded in 1979 is the oldest B2B trade publication in the multi-platform and multi-channel IPPGroup. It created the category of privately owned B2B print magazines in the country. And by its diversification in packaging, (Packaging South Asia), food processing and packaging (IndiFoodBev) and health and medical supply chain and packaging (HealthTekPak), and its community activities in training, research, and conferences (Ipp Services, Training and Research) the organization continues to create platforms that demonstrate the need for quality information, data, technology insights and events.

India is a large and tough terrain and while its book publishing and commercial printing industry have recovered and are increasingly embracing digital print, the Indian newspaper industry continues to recover its credibility and circulation. The signage industry is also recovering and new technologies and audiences such as digital 3D additive printing, digital textiles, and industrial printing are coming onto our pages. Diversification is a fact of life for our readers and like them, we will also have to adapt with agility to keep up with their business and technical information needs.

India is one of the fastest growing economies in nominal and real terms – in a region poised for the highest change in year to year expenditure in printing equipment and consumables. Our 2024 media kit is ready, and it is the right time to take stock – to emphasize your visibility and relevance to your customers and turn potential markets into conversations.
