⚠ Important compatibility notice: Do not use VersiFlex inks in a Sawgrass printer previously loaded with SubliJet UHD or EasySubli inks. Switching ink systems can contaminate lines, reduce print quality, damage the print head, and may void the Sawgrass warranty. VersiFlex requires a dedicated printer.

Frequently asked questions

What's included in this VersiFlex SG500 bundle?

The bundle includes the Sawgrass Virtuoso SG500 printer, the VersiFlex ink complete set (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Expander — 31ml each), and VersiFlex Light transfer paper (8.5" x 11", 50 sheets).

Does VersiFlex work on cotton and natural fabrics?

Yes — that's the primary advantage of VersiFlex over standard sublimation. VersiFlex is specifically formulated to bond with cotton and natural fiber blends using a heat press transfer process. SubliJet UHD requires polyester or poly-coated substrates. If you're printing on cotton apparel, VersiFlex is the correct system.

Do I need a heat press to use this system?

Yes. The SG500 prints your design onto VersiFlex Light transfer paper, which is then heat-pressed onto your substrate. A heat press is not included in this bundle. If you need a heat press recommendation, contact us — our team can advise based on your product mix.

What software is required, and is it free?

Sawgrass Creative Studio is the required design and print management software for all Sawgrass printers. It is cloud-based and free for SG500 owners. Creative Studio handles color profiles, substrate presets, and print queue management — no third-party RIP software needed.

Is the SG500 a good fit for small businesses and short runs?

Yes. The SG500 is a compact desktop printer designed for consistent on-demand output — ideal for Etsy sellers, local decorators, school spirit shops, and small-batch production. For studios printing dozens to low hundreds of pieces per week, it's an efficient, space-saving system.

What is the maximum print size the SG500 supports?

The SG500 supports media up to 8.5" x 14" — covering standard letter and legal-length workflows.

Can I switch to VersiFlex if my SG500 previously used UHD or EasySubli inks?

No. Once a Sawgrass printer has been used with SubliJet UHD or EasySubli inks, switching to VersiFlex risks contaminating the ink lines and print head. Sawgrass recommends a dedicated printer for each ink system. If you're starting fresh, this bundle gives you a clean VersiFlex setup from day one.

Can VersiFlex print on dark-colored fabrics?

VersiFlex Light transfer paper is designed for white and light-colored substrates only. For dark garments, VersiFlex Dark media is required and sold separately.
