Is This the Right VersiFlex Ink Set?

Yes — this is the complete Sawgrass VersiFlex CMY + Expander ink set for SG500 and SG1000 VersiFlex printers. Buy this set when starting a new VersiFlex setup, replacing all four cartridges, or when you need the full ink configuration required for the VersiFlex workflow.

Important: VersiFlex inks must only be installed in a dedicated SG500 or SG1000 VersiFlex printer that has never been used with SubliJet UHD, EasySubli, ChromaBlast, or any other ink system. Switching ink systems in a single printer is not supported by Sawgrass.

What Is the Sawgrass VersiFlex Ink Complete Set?

The Sawgrass VersiFlex Ink Complete Set is the full four-cartridge ink configuration required to run the VersiFlex decorating system on a dedicated Sawgrass SG500 or SG1000 printer. VersiFlex does not use traditional CMYK sublimation inks. Instead, it uses Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Expander — a four-component system designed for multi-surface decorating on light-colored cotton, fabric, wood, ceramic, and compatible coated hard goods.

VersiFlex is not a drop-in upgrade for an existing SubliJet UHD or EasySubli printer. A dedicated printer is required — one that has only ever run VersiFlex inks from the start. When used correctly with Sawgrass Creative Studio, Sawgrass-recommended transfer papers, and proper heat press settings, VersiFlex expands your substrate range beyond traditional polyester sublimation.

Complete CMY + Expander Configuration

Every cartridge needed to run VersiFlex on a compatible SG500 or SG1000 — nothing to add separately.

Expands Your Substrate Range

Cotton, fabric, wood, ceramic, slate, and coated blanks — beyond what SubliJet UHD handles alone. One ink system, multiple surfaces.

Water-Based, REACH & RoHS Certified

Solvent-free formulation. Sawgrass states VersiFlex inks are REACH compliant and RoHS certified, with cartridges and packaging designed with recyclability in mind.

What's Included in the VersiFlex CMY + Expander Ink Set?

This set includes one factory-sealed 31ml cartridge of each of the four required VersiFlex components.

Cartridge Volume Role in the VersiFlex System
VersiFlex Cyan 31ml Delivers blues, greens, teals, and cool-tone gradients in full-color output.
VersiFlex Magenta 31ml Produces reds, pinks, purples, skin tones, and vibrant color saturation.
VersiFlex Yellow 31ml Supports warm tones, oranges, greens, highlights, and bright design elements.
VersiFlex Expander 31ml The required fourth cartridge in the CMY + Expander system. Enables the VersiFlex multi-surface workflow and is not optional.

Sawgrass VersiFlex Ink Compatibility: Which Printers Work?

VersiFlex inks are only compatible with Sawgrass SG500 and SG1000 printers dedicated exclusively to the VersiFlex ink system from initial setup. No other printers are compatible.

Printer or Ink System Compatible? Notes
Sawgrass SG500 — dedicated VersiFlex printer Yes Printer must be dedicated to VersiFlex from initial setup.
Sawgrass SG1000 — dedicated VersiFlex printer Yes Printer must be dedicated to VersiFlex from initial setup.
SG500 or SG1000 previously used with SubliJet UHD No Ink system switching is not supported. Do not install VersiFlex in a printer that has run SubliJet UHD.
SG500 or SG1000 with EasySubli or ChromaBlast No Not compatible with printers loaded with other Sawgrass ink systems.
SG400, SG800, Epson, Ricoh, or non-Sawgrass printers No Not compatible with older Sawgrass models or any non-Sawgrass printer.

Critical: Do Not Switch Ink Systems

Installing VersiFlex inks in a Sawgrass printer that has previously used SubliJet UHD, EasySubli, ChromaBlast, or any other ink system will contaminate the ink lines, compromise print quality, and may permanently damage the print head. Sawgrass does not support ink system changes on a single printer. If you want to run both ink systems, you need two dedicated printers.

What Can You Print on With Sawgrass VersiFlex Ink?

VersiFlex is designed for multi-surface decorating on white or light-colored materials. Best results depend on using Sawgrass VersiFlex Light transfer paper, correct Creative Studio profiles, and proper heat press settings for each substrate.

Soft Goods & Apparel

  • Light-colored cotton apparel (shirts, totes, aprons)
  • Fabric blends and nylon
  • Suede and canvas accessories
  • Selected textile applications

Hard Surfaces & Décor

  • Uncoated wood signs, plaques, ornaments
  • Ceramic tiles and slate products
  • Poly-coated blanks and hard goods
  • Compatible sublimation-ready substrates

VersiFlex Does Not Include White Ink

VersiFlex cannot print on dark or black fabrics. For best results, always use white, cream, or light-colored materials. VersiFlex relies on the substrate's base color as the white point in the design. Always use Sawgrass VersiFlex Light transfer paper and follow current Sawgrass Creative Studio settings for each material.

VersiFlex vs SubliJet UHD: What's the Difference?

Both VersiFlex and SubliJet UHD run on the SG500 and SG1000 but serve different purposes and are not interchangeable in the same printer.

VersiFlex (This Set) SubliJet UHD
Ink configuration CMY + Expander CMYK
Primary substrates Cotton, fabric, wood, ceramic, slate, coated blanks Polyester, polymer-coated hard goods
Cotton printing Yes (light-colored) No
Dark fabrics No (no white ink) No
Switch between? No — each system requires a dedicated printer

Required Paper, Software & Workflow

VersiFlex inks work as part of a complete system. Correct results require Sawgrass VersiFlex Light transfer paper, the correct media profile in Sawgrass Creative Studio, and proper heat press time, temperature, and pressure for each substrate. As a general reference, cotton workflows typically require heat press temperatures in the range of 330–365°F (166–185°C), with dwell times of 30–60 seconds depending on fabric weight — but always verify current Sawgrass-published settings for your specific material before production.

VersiFlex Light Transfer Paper

Required for most soft goods, natural surfaces, and compatible hard-surface applications. Available in 8.5×11 and 11×17.

Frequently Asked Questions — Sawgrass VersiFlex Ink Complete Set

Is this the complete Sawgrass VersiFlex ink configuration?

Yes. This set includes Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Expander cartridges, each 31ml — all four required components to run the VersiFlex ink system on a dedicated Sawgrass SG500 or SG1000 VersiFlex printer.

Why does VersiFlex use CMY + Expander instead of CMYK?

VersiFlex is a different decorating technology than standard sublimation. It uses Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow for full-color output, generating composite blacks through color mixing. The Expander is a required component that enables the VersiFlex multi-surface transfer workflow. It is not optional and cannot be replaced with a black ink cartridge.

Can I install VersiFlex ink in a printer that previously used SubliJet UHD or EasySubli?

No. Sawgrass does not support switching ink systems in a single printer. Installing VersiFlex in a printer that has run SubliJet UHD, EasySubli, ChromaBlast, or any other ink system will mix incompatible inks, reducing print quality and potentially damaging the print head. If you want to run both systems, you need two separate dedicated printers.

What transfer paper do I need for VersiFlex ink?

Use Sawgrass VersiFlex Light transfer paper. Using generic or non-Sawgrass transfer paper with VersiFlex ink is likely to produce poor results. Always follow current Sawgrass media recommendations for your specific substrate.

Is VersiFlex good for printing on cotton shirts?

Yes. Printing on light-colored cotton is one of the primary use cases for VersiFlex. When paired with VersiFlex Light transfer paper, the correct Sawgrass Creative Studio profile, and proper heat press settings, VersiFlex produces vibrant results on white and light-colored cotton garments with wash fastness up to 30+ washes. It cannot print on dark fabrics because it does not include white ink.

What software do I need to print with VersiFlex ink?

Sawgrass Creative Studio is the required print management software for all Sawgrass SG500 and SG1000 printers. It is free and cloud-based. You must select the correct VersiFlex media profile for your substrate in Creative Studio before printing — using the wrong profile is one of the most common causes of VersiFlex quality issues.

What is the difference between VersiFlex and SubliJet UHD?

VersiFlex (CMY + Expander) is designed for multi-surface decorating on cotton, fabric, wood, ceramic, slate, and compatible blanks. SubliJet UHD (CMYK) is the standard Sawgrass sublimation ink for polyester and polymer-coated substrates. Both systems use the SG500 and SG1000 printers but require dedicated machines — you cannot switch between them in the same printer.

Is this product final sale?

Yes. Ink cartridges are final sale once opened or installed. This product ships factory sealed. If you have questions about compatibility before purchasing, contact us at 305-653-0037 before placing your order.
