Full-Color Cotton Decoration in a Larger Desktop Format

Primary VersiFlex workflow White, light and bright cotton and compatible natural fabrics.

Before You Order
Four Things Every VersiFlex Buyer Should Know
01
Use a dedicated printer. Choose VersiFlex before initial ink setup and keep the printer dedicated to that ink system.
02
A heat press is required. The SG1000 prints the transfer. Controlled heat and pressure complete the decorating process.
03
Fabric color matters. VersiFlex has no white ink channel, so white, light and bright fabrics provide the most predictable direct VersiFlex Light results.
04
Use the correct transfer media. VersiFlex Light is for cotton and natural fabrics. Traditional sublimation requires appropriate sublimation paper and settings.

Sawgrass VersiFlex SG1000 FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in this Sawgrass VersiFlex SG1000 bundle?
This EventPrinters bundle includes the Sawgrass SG1000 printer, a full 31ml VersiFlex ink set with Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Expander, 100 sheets of 8.5 × 11-inch VersiFlex Light media and 50 sheets of 11 × 17-inch VersiFlex Light media. A heat press is required and sold separately.
Can the Sawgrass SG1000 print 11 × 17 inches?
Yes. The SG1000 supports media up to 11 × 17 inches from the standard tray. The optional SG1000 bypass tray expands supported media to 13 × 19 inches.
Can VersiFlex print on cotton?
Yes. Cotton is the central application in Sawgrass's current VersiFlex messaging. Use genuine VersiFlex ink, VersiFlex Light transfer media, Sawgrass Print Utility and current Sawgrass heat-press settings.
Which natural fabrics can I use with VersiFlex?
Sawgrass promotes VersiFlex for cotton and compatible natural fabrics. Examples in current Sawgrass materials include cotton, linen, canvas, denim, velvet and chenille. Test unfamiliar fabrics before full production because composition, weave, finish and color can affect results.
Does VersiFlex require cutting or weeding?
No conventional vinyl cutting or manual weeding is required in the standard VersiFlex Light workflow.
Does VersiFlex require DTF powder?
No. The standard VersiFlex Light workflow does not require adhesive powder, a powder shaker or a powder-curing station.
Can I make traditional sublimation products with VersiFlex ink?
Yes. A printer dedicated to VersiFlex ink can also support compatible traditional sublimation applications when used with appropriate sublimation transfer paper, supported color profiles and correct heat-press settings.
Can I convert an SG1000 already using SubliJet UHD to VersiFlex?
Sawgrass recommends keeping each printer dedicated to the ink system with which it is initialized. Use a dedicated VersiFlex printer rather than converting an existing printer using another Sawgrass specialty ink system.
Does VersiFlex print on dark cotton shirts?
VersiFlex does not use a white ink channel. Sawgrass recommends white, light and bright fabrics for direct VersiFlex Light decoration because the underlying fabric color influences the final appearance.
What software is used with the SG1000 VersiFlex system?
Sawgrass Print Utility is used for print management, while MySawgrass Design Tool provides product-oriented design tools, templates and creative resources.
What warranty comes with a new SG1000?
Sawgrass states that eligible SG500 and SG1000 printers purchased on or after October 1, 2025 are covered for three years or 100,000 prints from the date of purchase, subject to the manufacturer's warranty terms.
