SG500 w. Extended Inks

• SG500 Printer
• Standard UHD CYMK 31 mL cartridges
• 2 Year Warranty from SawGrass, details below
  
• All Software and Features listed below:

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.

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.

The SG500 is backwards-compatible with SG400 accessories, so if you already own a bypass tray for the SG400, you will be able to continue using it. This allows you to print on media up to 51 ̋ long (1295 mm).  Like all Sawgrass printers, the SG500 performs its own automatic maintenance cycle for trouble-free printing. For complete peace of mind, the SG500 is now backed by a 2-year warranty, as well as unlimited tech support for the life of the product. 

Please note:  Paper sold separately.

When you buy a Sawgrass printer, you’re actually getting a business in a box.  At no additional cost, you’ll have access to a suite of resources that will help you build a successful product customization business.  You’ll be able to create locally, and sell globally.  You’ll start with Sawgrass Academy, an online training platform. You’ll create high-quality artwork in the online design software, CreativeStudio. You’ll print those designs with optimal color using the Sawgrass Print Manager.

Print Manager

Ensuring the colors you get are the colors you want.  Because different substrate materials and transfer papers affect the way colors appear on sublimated items, it’s important to adjust the ink output to ensure optimal quality. Sawgrass Print Manager is a software utility that automatically makes those adjustments for you.  Print Manager works in the background, managing the flow of color information from your digital artwork to your Sawgrass printer. This reduces wasted ink (saving you money), and ensures the colors on your finished products are as accurate and vibrant as possible.

UHD SawGrass Sublimation Inks

The heart of Sublimation – the process of using heat and pressure to permanently transfer ink from paper into a physical object – depends on one vital ingredient: sublimation ink.  Sawgrass has been the global leader in sublimation ink development for over 30 years.  SawGrass' dedicated team of scientists continually test and refine the formulas for our inks, which are manufactured 100% in the USA.  Sawgrass-approved inks deliver superior reliability and performance in Sawgrass printers, providing you with maximum value and the best possible image quality. Also, only Sawgrass inks work with Sawgrass Print Manager, providing seamless end-to-end color management.
