Sawgrass releases universal software for all Virtuoso systems

US ink manufacturer Sawgrass has launched Virtuoso Print Manager, the first universal print management software for SG400, SG800 and VJ 625 printers.

It works with both desktop design programs - such as CorelDraw and Adobe Creative Cloud - and CreativeStudio. It is also the first print manager to deliver Rip-like applications using both Windows and Mac operating systems for SG400 and SG800 users.

“Virtuoso Print Manager is the biggest game changer we’ve released since CreativeStudio,” said Sawgrass president Darcy Mauro. 

“It enables users of all three of the printers used in our Virtuoso HD Product Decorating Systems to access one powerful, yet easy-to-use program for the best-quality prints for their printers and software. We’ve been working on this solution for several years and are proud to finally be able to bring it to market.”

Virtuoso Print Manager greatly improves production efficiency with sublimation printing and makes it easier than ever to get great colour output.

It is designed to be exceptionally easy to use, yet delivers efficiencies like job and image ganging to save media, as well as web-to-print and hot folder workflows found only in costly and complicated RIP software.

Other features include: built-in ICC profiles for a variety of substrates and image types; direct import of .JPG, .PNG and CreativeStudio’s .SG or SGZ files; and a multilingual user interface.

Virtuoso Print Manager replaces CreativeStudio Print and Color Manager for CreativeStudio users, and is available for free download to Virtuoso customers through the Sawgrass website. It also enables VJ 628 users to print from CreativeStudio for the first time.
