This is the first Heatpress I have ever owned. I did my first event on 8/24/2024. This unit performed superb. We did customs printing as they ordered. I am So pleased with this investment. Amazing quality and craftsmanship!
Description
This is an open-box unit and may contain cosmetic blemishes. However, it is still functional and comes with a standard 2-year warranty. Ink levels may vary in the range of 10%-50%.
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.
To complete the sublimation kit, we recommend also purchasing TexPrint R Sublimation Paper.

Extreme Versatility: Thanks to the extreme versatility of Sawgrass's sublimation printing technology, SubliJet-UHD can decorate a wide variety of polymer-coated hard substrates, including metal, ceramic, glass, FRP plastic, poly-performance fabrics, hardboard, and more. SubliJet-UHD is also compatible with 100% white polyester fabric. |
 |
Vibrant Colors: Extremely vibrant colors and stunning resolution at levels that other digital processes simply cannot match. It's the top choice for professional photographers and digital images who demand precision and fine detail in every image. |
 |
Superior Durability: Sublimated images created with SubliJet-UHD are permanent! Hard substrate surfaces won't crack, peel or scratch. Apparel won't fade - ever - no matter how many times it is washed. |
 |
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. |
 |
DesignMate The only online design tool built specifically for sublimation. 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. |
 |
Virtuoso Print Manager: The Virtuoso's Print Manager makes printing beautiful transfers a breeze. Powerful features enable users to easily optimize color output for photographs, vector graphics or spot colors. Also, it is Windows and Mac OS compatible. |
New Features Include:
 |
WIFI Connectivity: Now print wirelessly through your home or office's network. Without the need to connect a computer via a USB cable, printing from multiple computers is easier than ever! |
 |
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 warranty, as well as unlimited tech support for the life of the product. |
 |
Backward Compatibility: The SG500 is backward-compatible with SG400 accessories, so if you already own the Optional 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). |

I have had this printer since Jan 2022 and it was the best purchase to date. I have printed more than 4,000 pages and have only had to buy ink 8 times. It does its own maintenance and the quality of my prints is amazing!

It is the next step up from my converted Epson Eco Tank printer. I should have purchased this in the first place. Now I have 2 sublimation printers.
