Is This the Right Sawgrass Bundle for Your Business?

Yes — if you want to print on cotton, natural fabrics, wood, ceramic, or a wide mix of surfaces from a single compact desktop printer. This bundle pairs the Sawgrass SG500 with the VersiFlex ink system — a 3-in-1 decorating technology combining sublimation, DTF, and DTG capabilities — along with VersiFlex Light transfer paper to get you producing on day one.

If your primary focus is traditional sublimation on polyester garments and polymer-coated blanks (mugs, metal panels, mouse pads), the SubliJet UHD ink system is the more appropriate choice. The two ink systems cannot be mixed in the same printer. Decide before you buy — switching later is not supported by Sawgrass.

What Is the Sawgrass VersiFlex System?

VersiFlex is Sawgrass's next-generation decorating ink technology — a 3-in-1 system that combines sublimation, Direct-to-Film (DTF), and Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing capabilities into a single desktop workflow. Unlike standard SubliJet UHD sublimation, which requires polyester or polymer-coated surfaces, VersiFlex uses a specialized transfer paper to decorate cotton, fabric blends, uncoated wood, ceramic, slate, and compatible coated blanks — all from the same SG500 printer.

The VersiFlex ink set uses Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Expander cartridges (CMY + Expander) rather than traditional CMYK. The Expander is not optional — it is a required component of the system. VersiFlex prints produce a soft, breathable finish on fabrics with wash fastness up to 30+ washes.

One System — Multiple Surface Types

Cotton apparel, fabric blends, uncoated wood, ceramic, slate, and poly-coated blanks — all from one compact desktop printer with one ink set and one software platform.

No Pre-Treatment Required

VersiFlex eliminates the pre-treatment processes associated with traditional DTG printing. Print the design, heat press with VersiFlex Light paper, done — no additional steps for most supported substrates.

Soft, Breathable Fabric Output

Prints on cotton and blended fabrics with a lightweight, natural feel that does not crack or peel. Wash fastness tested to 30+ washes. Produces a finish closer to DTG than standard HTV.

What Can You Print on With VersiFlex?

VersiFlex is designed for white and light-colored surfaces. It does not print on dark or black fabrics — there is no white ink in the system. Best results depend on correct media selection, press settings, and Sawgrass Creative Studio profiles for each substrate.

Soft Goods & Apparel

Light-colored cotton T-shirts, polo shirts, and apparel · Fabric blends · Nylon · Suede · Canvas bags and totes · Selected textile applications

Hard Surfaces & Décor

Uncoated wood signs, plaques, ornaments, and décor · Ceramic tiles · Slate boards · Poly-coated sublimation blanks · Mugs and drinkware (with compatible coated blanks)

Gifts & Promotional Products

Personalized gifts · Awards and plaques · Custom promotional merchandise · Photo panels including Chromaluxe · Phone cases and mouse pads

VersiFlex Does Not Work on Dark Fabrics or Without the Correct Media

VersiFlex has no white ink — it relies on the substrate's base color as the white point. Dark and black fabrics are not compatible. Always use Sawgrass VersiFlex Light transfer paper and follow current Sawgrass-published press settings for each material. Using generic transfer paper or incorrect profiles will produce poor results regardless of ink quality.

VersiFlex vs SubliJet UHD — Which Ink System Is Right for You?

Both systems run on the SG500 and SG1000 printers but serve different decorating goals and require dedicated printers. You cannot switch between them after setup.

VersiFlex (This Bundle)

Ink config CMY + Expander Cotton printing Yes (light colors) Wood & uncoated Yes Dark fabrics No (no white ink) Best for Cotton, mixed surfaces, expanded catalog

SubliJet UHD

Ink config CMYK Cotton printing No Polyester & coated Primary use case Dark fabrics No Best for Mugs, poly garments, coated blanks

Critical: Ink Systems Cannot Be Mixed or Switched

Printers already loaded with SubliJet UHD, EasySubli, or ChromaBlast cannot be converted to VersiFlex. Each ink system requires a dedicated printer. If you want both workflows, you need two separate SG500 or SG1000 units. Switching ink systems in one printer risks contamination, head damage, and voids the Sawgrass warranty.

Who Is the VersiFlex SG500 Bundle Best For?

Etsy Sellers & Print-on-Demand Businesses

Produce a wider catalog from one printer — cotton tees, canvas bags, wood décor, and ceramic gifts — without sourcing multiple machines or ink systems. Ideal for on-demand, one-off, and small-batch production.

Custom Apparel Decorators

Print on light-colored cotton garments without DTG pre-treatment or HTV cutting. VersiFlex delivers a soft, breathable finish with wash fastness up to 30+ washes — ideal for branded merchandise and custom apparel.

Small Studios & Personalization Shops

Compact desktop footprint (15.75″×17.25″×8.5″) fits tight workspaces. Built for consistent one-off and short-run production without large format or high-volume equipment.

Gift & Promotional Product Businesses

Awards, plaques, wood signs, ceramic tiles, mugs, and photo panels — all from one system. VersiFlex expands your product catalog beyond what standard sublimation alone can cover.

Local Brands & Event Merchandise

Produce branded merchandise — cotton totes, custom apparel, wood décor — for local businesses, events, and organizations from a single affordable desktop system.

Makers Growing Into Multi-Surface Decorating

Starting with sublimation on coated blanks but want to expand to cotton and natural surfaces? VersiFlex provides that capability without adding a second printer — though it requires a dedicated printer separate from any existing SubliJet UHD setup.

Sawgrass Software — Included and Required

Sawgrass Creative Studio

The required print management software for all Sawgrass printers. Free and cloud-based for all SG500 owners. Manages color profiles, substrate presets, and the print queue. No third-party RIP software needed. Includes design tools, art project templates, and access to Sawgrass Academy training resources.

MySawgrass Platform

Your central hub for managing orders, accessing education, and growing your decoration business. Connect with the Sawgrass community of makers and access business-building resources through the MySawgrass ecosystem.

Frequently Asked Questions — Sawgrass VersiFlex SG500 Bundle

What's included in this VersiFlex SG500 bundle?

The bundle includes the Sawgrass SG500 printer, the complete VersiFlex ink set (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Expander — 31ml each), and VersiFlex Light transfer paper (8.5″×11″, 50 sheets). Sawgrass Creative Studio software is free and cloud-based, included with the printer registration.

Can I use this bundle if my SG500 already has SubliJet UHD or EasySubli inks?

No. Sawgrass does not support switching ink systems in an existing printer. VersiFlex inks cannot be introduced into a printer that has run SubliJet UHD, EasySubli, or ChromaBlast — doing so risks ink contamination, print head damage, and voids the Sawgrass warranty. VersiFlex requires a dedicated printer configured for it from the start.

What is the difference between VersiFlex and SubliJet UHD?

VersiFlex is a 3-in-1 decorating system designed for cotton, fabric blends, uncoated wood, ceramic, and multi-surface workflows using VersiFlex transfer paper. SubliJet UHD is the standard Sawgrass sublimation ink for polyester garments and polymer-coated blanks — the most common sublimation setup. Choose VersiFlex if cotton and mixed-surface production is your goal. Choose SubliJet UHD if your focus is traditional sublimation on polyester and coated products. Both require dedicated printers — you cannot switch between them.

Does VersiFlex work on dark or black fabrics?

No. VersiFlex does not include white ink. For best results, use white, cream, or light-colored materials. Dark and black fabrics are not compatible with the VersiFlex system.

Is a heat press included?

No. A heat press is required for all VersiFlex transfers and is sold separately. Sawgrass recommends using a heat press with adjustable pressure for optimal VersiFlex results. Press time, temperature, and pressure settings vary by substrate — always follow current Sawgrass-published settings for each material.

What is the maximum print size for the SG500?

The SG500 supports media up to 8.5″×14″ using the standard paper tray, and up to 8.5″×51″ with the optional bypass tray. For wider output up to 11″×17″, the SG1000 is the appropriate model.

What software do I need to print with the SG500 VersiFlex system?

Sawgrass Creative Studio is the required print management software for all Sawgrass SG500 printers. It is free and cloud-based — included with printer registration. Creative Studio manages color profiles, substrate presets, and the print queue. No third-party RIP software is needed.

What warranty is included with the SG500?

The Sawgrass SG500 is covered by a 3-year / 100,000-print manufacturer warranty for printers ordered after October 1, 2025. Printers ordered before that date carry a 2-year warranty. The warranty includes lifetime technical support from Sawgrass and applies to the original purchaser only.
