The perfect printer for the hobbyist or moonlighter, the SG500 fits comfortably on a desktop, and prints on media up to 8.5˝ x 14˝ (22 x 36 cm). This allows you to apply custom artwork to a wide variety of popular, high-margin items, from mugs and coasters to phone cases and awards. For apparel it is advised for at least 75% polyester fabric content, otherwise use of the EasySubli system is recommended.
The SG500 has the compact footprint and rugged reliability of its predecessor, the SG400, but has been updated from the inside out. In addition to design improvements such as a single roll-bar, the SG500 is more energy-efficient, prints with higher resolution, and offers WiFi connectivity. This means you’ll enjoy higher quality products and greater ease of use, at a price comparable to the previous model.
When purchasing the SG500, you will now have a choice of the size of ink cartridges that are included with the printer. This is known as the Install Kit. Starter Install Kits will include cartridges that have 20ml of ink, while Standard Install Kits will include cartridges that have 31ml of ink.
The initial one-time feed process may take up to 16ml of ink into the system and may display a low ink alert upon completion when using starter cartridges. However, you should still expect up to 100 prints before needing to replace the cartridges. The number of prints will vary depending on the size and amount of colors per print.
Also, included within the kit are 100 sheets of Sublimation Paper and a SubliCraft Sublimation Blank Sample Pack. Two key components to printing your ideas right out of the box!

 |
Infused Image: Unlike screen printing, print-cut vinyl, and direct-to-substrate printing, which are sitting on the surface of the product, sublimation ink is actually infused into the surface itself, and will not crack, peel or wash away. |
 |
Self-Maintenance Mode: The built-in, self-cleaning routine keeps the printer running at its best even if the printer has not been used for a long period of time. For this though it is advised to leave the printer powered on otherwise it may clog from the dry ink. |

With built-in product templates, thousands of ready-to-use designs, and seamless integration with your Sawgrass printer, DesignMate takes the frustration out of creation. An individual account is included with every Sawgrass printer purchase, and a premium membership is available for unlimited access to additional features and artwork. |

Ultra Fine Photo Mode: This new print mode allows the SG500 and SG1000 to print at a resolution of 4800 x 1200 dpi. High-resolution images will appear sharper and with more clarity on your substrates. |

Backlit Display: The new display is now easier to read thanks to its LED backlight. |

2-Year Warranty: For complete peace of mind, the SG500 and SG1000 are now backed by a 2-year manufacturer warranty, as well as unlimited tech support for the life of the product. |
