Printwear & Promotion The Total Promotional Package
Dye sublimation is currently experiencing a surge of interest in the large format textile market, but desktop solutions still provide a low cost entry point to this technology.
Commonly, polyester-based textiles will be used to produce soft signage, furnishings and performance sportswear, but many will also be aware of the possibility of transferring images and graphics to polymer coated hard substrates to produce novelty goods, branded merchandise, small format signage and labelling, and much more besides.
This technology relies on specialised inks and printers – a position where Nova Chrome excels, having over 30 years experience in this field, and being one of the largest suppliers of sublimation solutions in the UK to date.
Nova Chrome is a Platinum reseller of Sawgrass’ Virtuoso range of printers, and SubliJet-HD inks. This system offers the best in image quality and reproduction, and is powered by a suite of software comprised of CreativeStudio (an online design package) and Virtuoso Print Manager (a desktop print and colour management application). These packages are supplied free of charge with all Virtuoso systems supplied by Nova Chrome UK.
Recently updated to its sixth version, Virtuoso Print Manager offers a number of benefits, including the ability to nest multiple jobs to save media, Hot Folder support, and support for web-to-print services. The latest version introduces improved colour profiles for a number of substrates, re-designed user experience for a clearer workflow and easier set-up and installation options.
For those who require a heat transfer press to complete the system, Nova Chrome also supplies a range of options, from economically priced starter units, through to standard swing head options, and for those seeking volume production or larger sizes, an A1 Pneumatic and mug presses – capable of producing full wrap, top-to-bottom mugs in around two and a half minutes.
Nova Chrome also stocks one of the widest ranges of sublimation imprintables in the UK, and are proud to be an authorised distributor of genuine Unisub and ChromaLuxe products. In addition, the company also supplies a selection of complementary materials, including S-Race sublimation transfer paper. This competitively priced media offers superb performance on a range of hard and soft substrates and is available in both sheet and roll formats.
