Why Sawgrass?

Sawgrass CreativeStudio

Every Sawgrass SG500 comes with a free license to MySawgrass design software. MySawgrass takes the frustration out of creation by including built-in product templates, thousands of ready-to-use designs, and a seamless integration with your Sawgrass SG500 printer. An individual account is included with every Sawgrass printer purchase.
Alternatively we suggest you create your amazing designs in either Corel Draw, Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator.

Print Utility
Because different materials affect the way colors appear on garments, it's important to adjust the ink output to ensure optimal quality. Print utility is a software utility that automatically makes those adjustments for you. Print utility 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.

Self Maintenance Mode
Like every Sawgrass printer, the SG500 performs its own automatic maintenance, providing you with trouble-free printing and the ultimate peace of mind. Just simply leave your SG500 on when not in use, and it will do the rest.

Wi-Fi Connectivity
Print from anywhere and everywhere. The Sawgrass SG500 now features WiFi Connectivity, so you do not have to be near your printer in order to send your jobs to the printer. Wireless setup is a breeze, and you will have your printer set up and printing wirelessly in no time.

Modulated Dot Technology
The Sawgrass SG500 offers the absolute highest print quality with its modulated dot technology, which ensures optimal image output on your transfer paper. This technology allows for more accurate placement of ink dots and better dot uniformity, which translates to higher quality transfers.

The SG500 printer also prints up to an astounding 4880 x 1200 dpi for the ultra-fine photo-quality reproductions.

Optional Bypass Tray
By default, the Sawgrass SG500 can print up to A4, which is perfect for creating many personalised products like mugs, coasters, keychains, mouse pads, and more. But if you find yourself wanting even larger prints, we’ve got you covered. The optional bypass tray for the SG500 allows you to feed up to 51” sheets through!

The Sawgrass SG500 is backwards compatible with the bypass tray for the SG400 series printer. So if you’re upgrading from the Sawgrass SG400, there’s no need to get a new bypass tray!
