Sawgrass ChromaBlast Virtuoso SG500 UHD Garment Decorating System For Cotton Fabric Sawgrass

*Printer may ship separately from included inks.*

Chromablast ink and paper work together to chemically bond your design to white 100% cotton, opening the door to long-lasting color on white  cotton apparel.

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.

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.

*The Chromablast ink system cannot be used to customize dark fabrics, nor hard substrates such as ceramic mugs, aluminum ornaments, etc. This is most ideal for white cotton fabrics*

	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. For this though it is advised to leave the printer powered on otherwise it may clog from the dry ink.
