It features a built-in spectrophotometer for consistent colour accuracy, and users are also able to log on to the HP PrintOS app to view the latest status of their system, check the ‘health’ of the printer and install new colour profiles. “Minimal operator interference, coupled with low running costs and an attractive purchase price, means the HP Stitch range should absolutely be on the horizon for anyone looking to get into the dye sublimation market or expand their current operation,” adds R A Smart. www.rasmart.co.uk Roland DG: TrueVis SG series Offering a printer/cutter for businesses of all sizes, the newly enhanced TrueVis range features the SG series and the VG series, which range in size from 30-64”. “In all models, users can expect exceptional quality prints, accurate cutting, superb media compatibility and the speed required for a successful garment personalisation business,” says the company. “For those looking to turn a part-time hobby into a serious business, the TrueVis SG2 is a particularly attractive investment – the print-and-cut solution unlocks a huge range of new products, letting users start selling signage, vehicle graphics and stickers, as well as garments.” The compact Roland BT-12 DTG printer makes an ideal entry point for those looking to test the waters with garment personalisation, adds the company. “With a small footprint, a user-friendly design and an affordable price, this device can open new doors.” www.rolanddg.co.uk The HP Stitch S300 – “the world’s first 100% front-operating dye sub printer at 160cm wide” The TrueVis SG2 offers a print-and-cut solution that enables garment decorators to diversify
