ChromaBlast-R/Ricoh GX7000 for producing customized wearables



Condé Systems is now offering the ChromaBlast-R Professional Cotton Decorating System for the Ricoh GX7000 ink jet printer - a very fast, low cost, and reliable desktop system for producing customized wearables with extreme color, an incredibly soft image feel, and unmatched washability.

With a print speed of forty-five seconds per tabloid print, low image costs, and reliable gel-based ink output on 8.5"x11" or 11"x17" ChromaBlast Transfer Media, the ChromaBlast-R/Ricoh GX7000 system is a terrific alternative to direct-to-garment printing or screen printing. "We thoroughly tested this solution," stated David Gross, President of Condé Systems. "We believe the quality of the Sawgrass ChromaBlast product and the realibility of the Ricoh GX-7000 printers will create a consistent, profit-generating system for digital decorators." The features of the powerful ChromaBlast-R Driver enable users to easily optimize color output for photographs, vector graphics or spot colors. Users are no longer limited to OEM driver capabilities or a single ICC profile.

The introduction of ChromaBlast-R Cotton Decorating System for the Ricoh GX7000 printer comes on the heels of the incredible success of the Ricoh GX7000 as a sublimation printer. Introduced in November 2008, the GX7000 was the first non-Epson desktop ink jet sublimation transfer printer supported by Condé Systems. This dramatically fast desktop printer (CMYK cartridges) can print an 8.5"x11" page in 25 seconds (compared to 1:51 for an Epson 1400, 1:48 for an Epson 4800, and 1:45 for an Epson 4880) and an 11"x17" page in 44 seconds (compared to 3:10 for an Epson 1400, 2:55 for an Epson 4800, and 2:48 for an Epson 4880). For maximum user convenience and productivity, the GX7000 provides up to three paper sources - a standard 250-sheet paper tray (up to 11"x17"), an optional 250-sheet paper feed unit (up to 11"x17"), and an optional 100-sheet Multi-Bypass Tray (up to 13"x19").
