The Blaze is a complete system, designed and engineered to make a complete solution. All elements are made to work together: printheads, inks, substrate conveyor, and dryer. With Sapphire from HGS Machines, configuring the right combination for your requirements is possible without compromising results.
The Blaze comes standard with the Nova+Pro waveform, which ensures perfect drop positioning on the fabric for flawless image quality without striping. The Inline placement of printheads ensures no light-dark color effet in bloch color printing, increasing print speed while preventing the "Soccerfield effect." Additionally, this system extends printhead lifespan and minimizes issues like misaligned or missing nozzles, ensuring optimal printing results.
With HGS Machines you can access decades of experience in textile printing, right from the source. Our application support specialists are dedicated to help you explore new possibilities and will share everything there is to know to keep your Sapphire in perfect condition. And when outstanding results matter, rely on HGS Machines ink technology. Our performance inks are specially formulated to deliver optimum performance. Our inks guarantee unattended printing without nozzle blockages or print head failures while adhering to the highest standards and legislation on sustainability
The right balance of technology incorporated in Sapphire, internationally recognized inks and our full support ensures end-to-end control for consistent high-quality output. Whereas Sapphire is built to control high speed and high quality in two different configurations. The Sapphire with 16 printheads is a great option for entering in digital printing, where the Sapphire with 32 printheads is the preferred choice for high volume printing. A Sapphire can be later upgraded at the customer site from 16 to 32 printheads. The combination of RICOH GEN 6 print heads, Ink recercullation, chilling plant and our specially formulated performance inks ensures excellent runnability and longer print head lifetime. Most importantly, you can count on strong and vivid colours at the lowest possible ink consumption.
