Dye Sublimation Printers for Garment and Product Printing

Sublimation printers are desktop inkjet printers converted or purpose-built to run dye-sublimation ink — the thermal process that bonds vivid, permanent colour into polyester fabric and polymer-coated hard substrates. BizSupplies stocks the Sawgrass SG500 (A4) and SG1000 (A3) as complete start-up packages with ink and software included.

Sublimation printing is the go-to process for personalised mugs, phone cases, cushions, garments, and sporting apparel where full-colour, wash-fast results are required on white or light polyester-coated substrates.

This page lists the two Sawgrass packages as part of our business starter-kit range. For the full sublimation printer category — including what else you need to run one — see Sublimation Printers.

Also in the package workflow

Both packages ship with ink, paper and heat tape, but you still need a press and blanks. See sublimation equipment for mug and flat presses, sublimation blanks for coated substrates, and sublimation starter kits if you want the whole lot bundled.
