VersiFlex Starter Kit | Exclusive Sawgrass Owner Program | LEVEL UP

Sublimate on cotton: Decorate white and light-colored cotton, cotton blends, and other natural fabrics that traditional sublimation cannot touch.

Still does full sublimation: Run your usual polyester apparel, mugs, tumblers, slate, and metal with the same machine. One system, both worlds.

No weeding, no cutting, no pretreatment: The VersiFlex Light self-weeding paper transfers only your design, with no background and no manual cleanup.

No DTF or DTG required: Skip the powder, the pretreat, and the expensive specialty machines. This is a far more affordable path onto cotton.

Soft, durable finish: Prints bond into the fabric for a lightweight hand feel that resists cracking and peeling and holds up to 30-plus washes.

One compact setup: Print on cotton, blends, uncoated wood, ceramics, slate, and poly-coated blanks from a single space-saving printer.

Backed by Sawgrass: Trusted printers, dedicated VersiFlex ink and paper, supporting software, and Sawgrass onboarding and support.

Exclusive loyalty pricing: $499.95 for qualifying Sawgrass owners, a $130 savings, available for a limited time.

What is VersiFlex?

VersiFlex is a patented decorating system from Sawgrass that lets you print full-color designs on cotton and other natural surfaces, while still doing traditional sublimation. It uses a special ink set and a self-weeding transfer paper to bond designs into fabric, so you get vibrant results without DTF, DTG, or HTV.

What is included in this bundle?

You get a Sawgrass SG500 printer, the 20ml VersiFlex Starter Install Kit (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and the Expander cartridge), and a 50-sheet pack of VersiFlex Light Media in 8.5 x 11. It is everything you need to start printing on cotton out of the box.

Who qualifies for this offer?

This loyalty price is reserved for existing Sawgrass customers, including owners of current or legacy printers running SubliJet, ChromaBlast, or EasySubli. It is limited to one bundle per qualifying customer.

Can I just convert my current SG500 or SG1000 to VersiFlex?

No, and this is the most important thing to understand. VersiFlex uses a different ink formulation, so a printer already set up with SubliJet, ChromaBlast, or EasySubli cannot be switched over. VersiFlex requires its own dedicated printer, which is exactly why this bundle includes a new SG500. The upside is that you keep your existing machine for your current work and add a second machine devoted to cotton.

Can I still do traditional sublimation with this system?

Yes. The VersiFlex ink set still runs traditional sublimation. For polyester apparel, mugs, tumblers, slate, and other coated blanks, you pair the VersiFlex ink with TruePix sublimation paper and the correct Sawgrass color profiles. You are not losing sublimation, you are adding cotton on top of it.

What materials can I decorate?

With VersiFlex Light paper you can decorate cotton, cotton blends, and other light natural fabrics, plus uncoated wood. With sublimation paper you can run your usual poly and poly-coated items. Many makers also report great results on surfaces like felt, ceramics, and slate.

Do I need to weed or cut anything?

No. The VersiFlex Light paper is self-weeding, so only the printed area of your design transfers. There is no vinyl to cut, no weeding, and no background to peel away.

Can I print on dark or black shirts?

Not with VersiFlex Light. The system does not print white ink, so it is designed for white and light-colored fabrics. Choose your garment colors with that in mind, since lighter materials give you the truest color.

What ink does it use, and why is there no black?

VersiFlex uses Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow plus an Expander cartridge in place of black. The three colors mix to create a rich composite black, and the Expander activates the self-weeding transfer. Skipping a separate black cartridge also gives natural fabrics a softer finish that resists cracking.

Do I need a special heat press?

Any quality heat press works best if it lets you manually adjust pressure, which helps you dial in clean, durable transfers. You do not need any DTF or DTG equipment.

How durable are the finished prints?

Designs bond into the fabric for a soft, lightweight feel that resists cracking and peeling and holds up to 30-plus washes when pressed correctly.

How is this different from DTF, DTG, or HTV?

VersiFlex gives you cotton printing without the cost and complexity of DTF or DTG, and without the cutting and weeding of HTV. There are no powders, no pretreatment, and no large upfront machine investment. It is a streamlined, lower-cost way to add cotton to your product line.

What software do I use?

VersiFlex runs through Sawgrass software and color profiles, the same workflow Sawgrass owners already know. If you have printed sublimation before, the process will feel familiar.

Where do I reorder ink and paper?

Replacement VersiFlex ink and VersiFlex Light media are available at craftexpressus.com in multiple sizes, including 8.5 x 11, 11 x 17, and 13 x 19. Stocking up keeps you running as your cotton orders grow.

How long is this offer available?

This is a limited-time loyalty offer with no guaranteed end date, available while it lasts and limited to one bundle per qualifying customer. We recommend claiming it before it closes.
