The Sawgrass VersiFlex SG500 Printer Bundle is a compact desktop decorating system for full-color printing on compatible cotton and natural fabrics while retaining traditional sublimation capability for polyester and poly-coated sublimation blanks. This bundle includes the SG500 printer, a 31ml VersiFlex CMY + Expander ink set, 50 sheets of 8.5 × 11-inch VersiFlex Light transfer media, and an exclusive SG500 dust cover from SawgrassPrinter.com.

The Sawgrass SG500 VersiFlex bundle is a strong starting point for creators, Etsy sellers, home studios, custom-apparel businesses, and small print shops that want to add cotton decoration without building a production line around vinyl cutting or powder-based DTF.

VersiFlex combines a dedicated Sawgrass SG500 printer, genuine Cyan, Magenta, Yellow + Expander inks, application-specific transfer media, Sawgrass Print Utility, and MySawgrass. Use VersiFlex Light for compatible cotton and natural fabrics. For traditional sublimation, keep the dedicated VersiFlex ink installed and use the appropriate sublimation paper and Sawgrass settings for compatible polyester and poly-coated sublimation products.

Current Sawgrass Software

Print Management

Sawgrass Print Utility

Manages supported color profiles, media settings, print quality, layout, mirroring, and production settings.

Product Design

MySawgrass

Provides product-oriented design tools, templates, training, and creative resources within the Sawgrass ecosystem.

Important Compatibility Notice

Keep the SG500 dedicated to the ink system used at initial setup. Sawgrass recommends using a dedicated printer rather than converting an existing printer that was initialized with another specialty ink formulation.

Fabric Color Matters

VersiFlex uses Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Expander rather than a white ink channel. White, light, and bright fabrics provide the most predictable results for the standard VersiFlex Light workflow because the underlying fabric color influences the final appearance.

Need a Larger VersiFlex Printer?

If you need larger standard transfer sizes, compare the Sawgrass SG1000 VersiFlex bundle. You can also read our VersiFlex vs. SubliJet UHD guide or browse VersiFlex inks and media.
