The Sawgrass SG500 Sublimation Printer Bundle is a complete starter system for traditional dye sublimation on polyester and polymer-coated hard goods. Built around the Sawgrass Virtuoso SG500 — the desktop printer engineered specifically for sublimation, not a converted inkjet — this bundle pairs the printer with genuine SubliJet UHD starter inks and Sawgrass software so you can start producing mugs, apparel, and personalized gifts. Supplied by Southtrend Corp., an authorized Sawgrass dealer serving the printing industry since 1996.

A Purpose-Built Sublimation Printer for Beginners and Small Business

Unlike repurposed inkjet printers, the SG500 is engineered from the ground up for sublimation, with genuine SubliJet UHD ink and Sawgrass color management for consistent, repeatable results. When printed on sublimation paper and heat-pressed, SubliJet UHD transfers bond permanently into polyester fabrics and polymer-coated blanks, producing vibrant prints that will not crack, peel, or fade. Compact enough for a home studio and reliable enough for a growing business, it is one of the most popular entry points into a custom-product business.

What's in the Bundle

  • Sawgrass Virtuoso SG500 printer
  • SubliJet UHD starter inks (20ml) — Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black install cartridges
  • Sawgrass Print Manager and CreativeStudio Online Designer software
  • Dust cover for your SG500
  • 3-year manufacturer warranty and in-house support

This bundle ships with the 20ml SubliJet UHD starter (install) cartridges that initialize a new printer — not full-size ink. For ongoing production, plan to reorder the full-size 31ml SubliJet UHD complete set or browse all SubliJet UHD ink.

What You Can Make

SubliJet UHD is built for polyester fabrics and polymer-coated blanks. Popular high-margin products include:

Polyester apparel
Mugs and drinkware
Metal and ChromaLuxe panels
Ceramics and coasters

Need to decorate cotton and natural fabrics? Traditional sublimation does not bond to untreated cotton. For that, see the Sawgrass VersiFlex SG500 bundle instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this bundle include full-size ink?

No. It includes the 20ml SubliJet UHD starter (install) cartridges that initialize a new printer. For production, reorder the full-size 31ml SubliJet UHD complete set. Starting with the install cartridges lets you set up and test before committing to full-size ink.

Is the SG500 a good sublimation printer for beginners?

Yes. The SG500 is one of the most popular entry-level sublimation printers, with a compact desktop design, simple setup, and Sawgrass CreativeStudio software that makes designing approachable even without graphic design experience.

Can I print on cotton with this SubliJet UHD bundle?

No. Traditional sublimation bonds to polyester and polymer-coated surfaces, not untreated cotton. To decorate cotton and natural fabrics, choose the Sawgrass VersiFlex SG500 bundle, which uses a different ink and transfer system.

What is the largest size the SG500 can print?

The SG500 supports media up to 8.5" x 14" with the standard tray, covering letter and legal-length workflows. An optional bypass tray allows longer media.

Should I choose SubliJet UHD or VersiFlex?

Choose SubliJet UHD (this bundle) for traditional sublimation on polyester and coated hard goods. Choose VersiFlex to also decorate cotton and natural surfaces. See our VersiFlex vs SubliJet UHD guide, or browse all SG500 and SG1000 printer bundles.
