Sawgrass Virtuoso SG500 Complete Siser EasySubli Printer Kit
Sublimation onto cotton will soon become a reality! Siser EasySubli, the new collaboration between Sawgrass & Siser, will no longer limit you to sublimation onto white polyester. This desktop sublimation solution will allow for sublimation onto colored polyester, cotton, rayon, and more. Sawgrass EasySubli Inks are specifically designed to work with Siser EasySubli heat transfer material. In addition, the EasySubli inks can also be used on the same substrates that have been working with Sawgrass SubliJet UHD inks for years. This means that you won’t have to switch out inks, or use an additional dedicated system for your non-Siser EasySubli transfers.
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.
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.
