Quick Buying Answer: Do You Need VersiFlex Expander?

Yes — VersiFlex Expander is required if you are using the Sawgrass VersiFlex CMY + Expander ink system.

Expander is not a standalone ink. It must be used with VersiFlex Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow cartridges in a dedicated Sawgrass SG500 or SG1000 VersiFlex printer.

If you are setting up a new VersiFlex printer, the best choice is usually the complete VersiFlex ink set instead of buying Expander alone.

What Is Sawgrass VersiFlex Expander Ink?

Sawgrass VersiFlex Expander is the fourth cartridge in the VersiFlex ink configuration. Unlike traditional CMYK sublimation ink systems, VersiFlex uses Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Expander. This cartridge is part of the workflow that allows VersiFlex users to decorate a wider range of compatible soft goods and hard surfaces when used with the correct Sawgrass media and software settings.

Required for the VersiFlex CMY + Expander System

Expander completes the four-cartridge VersiFlex ink configuration and is intended to be used with VersiFlex Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow.

Designed for Multi-Surface Decorating

Supports Sawgrass-recommended VersiFlex workflows for selected light-colored soft goods, hard surfaces, and compatible transfer media.

Made for Sawgrass SG500 and SG1000 VersiFlex Printers
