Sawgrass Easysubli SG500 Sublimation Printer Starter Bundle - Complete

In this review of the Sawgrass Easysubli SG500 bundle, the bottom line is simple: it is a complete desktop sublimation solution best suited for hobbyists and small-business crafters who need an all-in-one kit to start producing polyester and coated rigid media. The bundle's biggest selling point is the inclusion of the SG500 printer plus inks, 150 sheets of dedicated sublimation paper, a 50-piece blank set and a wide selection of small blanks and accessories so a user can begin printing immediately. It is compact enough for a desktop and comes with Sawgrass onboarding and lifetime support to help new users get up to speed.

Key Features

• Integrated starter kit: The bundle groups the SG500 printer with ink, paper, and a 50-piece ProSub blank set so users can print and finish projects without sourcing extras.
• Complete ink options: Choose the Sawgrass Easysubli ink set in 20ml or 31ml sizes to match usage levels and budget, with the caveat that starter inks require line filling.
• Wide blank selection: The set includes make-up bags, garden flags, coasters, pillow cases, key chains, magnets and more to test multiple product types right away.
• Paper optimized for system: 150 sheets of ProSub AAA premium transfer paper are specifically designed for Sawgrass printers to help with color transfer and handling.
• Software and content access: CreativeStudio online designer software plus five Fontsy design access cards provide SVGs, JPGs and fonts for commercial use and exclusive content.
• Support and warranty: The package includes a 2 year manufacturer warranty, premium onboarding and lifetime support which is useful for new sublimation users.

Who It's For

This bundle is ideal for hobbyists, crafters and moonlighters who want a compact, desktop-ready sublimation system that prints up to 8.5 in x 14 in (or wider with the bypass tray) and includes blanks and paper to start producing products right away. Small shops that need an integrated starter solution and access to design assets will appreciate the included CreativeStudio and Fontsy cards.

Those who should look elsewhere: people who require vivid, perfectly color-accurate industrial output out of the box should consider higher-end or production systems, and anyone whose projects are cotton or dark fabric based should not buy this because sublimation requires polyester or polymer-coated substrates and a heat press.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the bundle include everything needed to start sublimation?
It includes the printer, ink, 150 sheets of specially designed paper and a 50-piece blank set plus assorted small blanks, but a heat press is required and is not included.

Will starter 20ml inks last long?
The 20ml starter inks fill the lines and users should expect to get roughly 200+ full coverage prints but a large percentage of ink is used during initial fill and setup.

Can this printer print on cotton or dark fabrics?
No, sublimation requires polyester fabric or polymer-coated rigid media and does not work on cotton or dark fabrics.
