The Sawgrass VersiFlex SG500 Printer Bundle is a complete, business-ready system for creators who want to decorate cotton and hard goods from a single desktop printer. Built around the Sawgrass Virtuoso SG500 and the VersiFlex ink and transfer system, it lets you print full-color designs on cotton, wood, ceramics, and traditional sublimation blanks without DTF powder, a curing oven, or a separate machine. Supplied by Southtrend Corp., an authorized Sawgrass dealer serving the printing industry since 1996.

One Printer for Cotton and Hard Goods

VersiFlex is Sawgrass's decorating system that pairs specialty inks (CMY plus a clear Expander) with self-weeding transfer paper, so you can press onto natural fabrics that traditional sublimation cannot reach. Use VersiFlex Light paper for cotton, blends, and uncoated surfaces, or sublimation paper for polyester and coated blanks. No adhesive powder, no curing station, no powder shaker. Because the system does not print white ink, results are strongest on white and light-colored materials.

What's in the Bundle

  • Sawgrass Virtuoso SG500 printer
  • Complete VersiFlex ink set (31ml) — Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Expander
  • VersiFlex Light transfer media — 8.5" x 11", 50 sheets

Popular products include cotton tees and apparel, mugs and drinkware, wood decor and signage, plaques, coasters, phone cases, photo panels, and promotional items. Ideal for on-demand orders, Etsy shops, local brands, and short production runs.

Important Compatibility Notice

Do not load VersiFlex inks and media into a Sawgrass printer that previously ran SubliJet UHD or Siser EasySubli inks. Switching ink systems can contaminate the lines, reduce print quality, damage the print head, and void the Sawgrass warranty. Choose your ink system before you buy and keep the printer dedicated to it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the VersiFlex SG500 print on cotton?

Yes. Used with VersiFlex Light transfer paper, the SG500 prints full-color designs onto white and light-colored cotton and natural fabrics, with no DTF powder or curing step. It can also run traditional sublimation on polyester and coated blanks using sublimation paper.

Is this a good printer to start a business?

Yes. The SG500 is a compact desktop printer built for consistent output, making it a strong entry point for startups, home studios, and small businesses producing one-offs and short runs across apparel and hard goods.

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.

Do I need DTF or DTG equipment to decorate cotton?

No. VersiFlex replaces the powder, curing oven, and separate machines that DTF and DTG workflows require. You print, press, and peel using VersiFlex Light paper and a standard heat press.

Should I choose VersiFlex or SubliJet UHD?

Choose VersiFlex to decorate cotton and natural surfaces in addition to sublimation blanks. Choose SubliJet UHD for traditional sublimation only on polyester and coated hard goods. See our VersiFlex vs SubliJet UHD guide for a full breakdown, or browse all SG500 and SG1000 printer bundles.
