No Pre-Treatment. No DTF.
The world’s only patented system that lets you print vibrant, washable, full-colour designs directly onto cotton — and virtually any other surface.
The VersiFlex System
Break Free From Polyester-Only Printing
Traditional sublimation is brilliant — on polyester. But what about the other 80% of the crafting world that works with cotton, linen, wood, ceramics, and more?
VersiFlex is Sawgrass’s patented hybrid system that works on virtually any surface — with no oven, no special ventilation, and no pre-treatment powdering required.
- Print on 100% cotton — the only system in the world that does this
- No pre-treatment — no powdering, no coating, no drying step
- No oven or ventilation required — works with a standard heat press
- Soft, natural hand feel — not the plasticky layer of DTF or HTV
- Works on ceramics, wood, metal, acrylic, vinyl, faux leather and more
- Up and running in a couple of hours from unboxing

Design. Print. Press. Sell.
From blank screen to finished cotton product in under 10 minutes — no specialist skills required.
Design in Creative Studio
Open Sawgrass Creative Studio — included free with every printer. Choose a template or design from scratch. Add text, images, and personalisation in minutes.
Print on VersiFlex Paper
Select VersiFlex transfer paper in your SG500 or SG1000. Hit print. The printer does the rest — no special settings or reconfiguration needed.
Heat Press onto Any Surface
Place the printed transfer on your substrate — cotton fabric, ceramic, timber, whatever you’re making. Press with a standard heat press. No oven, no ventilation, no pre-treatment.
Peel & Sell
Peel the transfer while warm. The result is vibrant, washable, and — on cotton — has a soft, natural feel that customers can’t get anywhere else. Now sell it.
It really is this easy.
