Description
The Sawgrass Virtuoso SG500 VersiFlex Sublimation Printer opens up the one material sublimation could never reach: cotton. VersiFlex is a completely new decorating technology built to combine the best of sublimation, DTG, DTF and HTV while eliminating their biggest limitations, and the SG500 is the compact, desktop-friendly way to put it to work.
This is the only patented system that lets you sublimate on cotton and decorate traditional sublimation blanks from a single printer, using the same heat press and the same simple process. Print, press, peel. Cotton tees, totes, canvas and denim run alongside the mugs, drinkware, photo panels and poly-coated hard goods you already produce, turning one machine into an entirely new product category.
Unlike HTV, there is no cutting, weeding or layering, so a 10-shirt order takes roughly 35 minutes instead of 2.5 hours. Unlike DTF, there are no powders, no adhesive sheets, no curing ovens and no mess to clean up. Designs bond directly to cotton fibers for a soft, breathable hand feel with no stiff vinyl layer sitting on top, while full-color photo-realistic output handles smooth gradients, fine detail and even QR codes.
Prints stay vibrant and smooth for 30+ washes per Sawgrass ISO testing without cracking or peeling. Sawgrass VersiFlex inks are water-based, solvent-free, OEKO-TEX® certified, REACH compliant and RoHS certified, engineered and manufactured in Charleston, SC. Purpose-built no-clog engineering and automatic self-maintenance keep the SG500 printing reliably order after order, so you spend your time filling orders instead of troubleshooting nozzles.
Every package ships ready to produce: the Sawgrass SG500 printer, your choice of VersiFlex install kit, a 50-sheet pack of VersiFlex Light Heat Transfer Paper in 8.5" x 11", USB cable and power cord, and a 3-year or 100K print warranty. You also receive free one-on-one setup and onboarding (a $200 value), the MySawgrass design tool ($1,500/year value) and the Sawgrass Print Utility ($500/year value). Please note: all sales are final on equipment and ink.
