Description

Sawgrass Virtuoso SG1000 Printer & SubliJet-UHD Inks Starter Kit

The Virtuoso SG1000 is Sawgrass’ large-format sublimation printer — and this starter kit gets you printing right out of the box. Purpose-built for dye-sublimation (not a converted inkjet), it delivers brilliant, permanent, HD color with a self-maintaining, anti-clog design and easy color-managed software. Print full 11″ × 17″ transfers — or step up to 13″ × 19″ and long banners with the optional bypass tray — onto polyester apparel and poly-coated blanks like mugs, tumblers, tiles, metal panels, signage and more. With low start-up and running costs, Wi-Fi connectivity and a 2-year warranty plus lifetime technical support, it’s built for entrepreneurs and growing shops that need bigger prints and higher output.

Why the SG1000

Bigger prints

Up to 11″ × 17″ standard, or 13″ × 19″ and banners with the bypass tray — no tiling.

Effortless color

Print Manager and CreativeStudio manage color for you — accurate results with no ICC profiles.

Permanent prints

SubliJet-UHD dyes into the surface, so designs won’t crack, peel or fade — with zero hand feel.

Built to produce

Self-maintenance cycles, Wi-Fi, and a 2-year warranty with lifetime tech support keep you running.

Want cotton & darks too? Standard sublimation needs polyester or a coating. Add Siser EasySubli HTV to decorate cotton and dark garments, or run Sawgrass VersiFLEX ink to print on cotton, wood, ceramic and more from the same SG1000.

What comes in the SG1000 starter kit?

The SG1000 printer, a genuine SubliJet-UHD starter ink set (CMYK), Sawgrass Print Manager & CreativeStudio software, and step-by-step getting-started guides. You’ll add a heat press, sublimation paper and blanks to produce.

What size can it print?

Up to 11″ × 17″ from the standard tray, and up to 13″ × 19″ plus long banners with the optional multi-bypass tray.

How is the SG1000 different from the SG500?

What can I make with it?

Anything polyester or polymer-coated — oversized apparel prints, tote bags, mugs, tumblers, tiles, metal and ChromaLuxe panels, signage, coasters and ornaments.

No. The SG1000 uses Sawgrass Print Manager, which handles color for you — no separate ICC profiles or RIP required. Software runs on Windows and Mac.
