Unbox and Set Up Your Sublimation Printer

Today I am unboxing at SG500 Sublimation printer from Sawgrass! If you have ever wondered about sublimation before, this is going to be fun for you to watch!

Setting it up was SO easy! Sometimes I get nervous about putting in ink cartridges but this was a snap!

I know most of you like to use my SVG files (aka Silhouette and Cricut cutting files) so this new machine is going to be fun to play with! Sublimation uses a heating element to fuse png or jpg files all at once. I’m used to layering everything with my heat transfer and vinyl projects with my cutting machine!

I will for sure be playing with my print and cut SVG files with this sublimation machine!

Other things to note, Sawgrass has an amazing onboarding phone call that is FREE when you purchase a printer. Go to https://www.sawgrassink.com/ to set up the call.

The call was so helpful because they walked me through the paper, ink, and getting everything right on my computer to print! Whoopee!

So what am I going to use this sublimation printer for? I think I’m going to start with some tumblers and then make some t-shirts! I’ll make sure and document my process via video!
