Sawgrass SubliJet UHD
Sawgrass's dye-sublimation ink for its SG500 and SG1000 desktop printers — recorded from Sawgrass's official pages, with cartridge capacity left unverified because it appears only in product imagery, and the warranty small print noted.
What it is
The dye-sublimation ink Sawgrass supplies for its SG500 and SG1000 desktop sublimation printers. Printed onto sublimation paper and heat-pressed, the dye gases into polyester and polymer-coated substrates.
Who it may be relevant for: Shops running Sawgrass SG-series printers for mugs, polyester garments, and coated blanks.

| Printer warranty context | Sawgrass promotes a 3-year/100,000-print printer warranty; the SG500 page limits it to printers purchased on or after 1 Oct 2025 (2 years before that) and to the original purchaser only. The two official pages differ in scope. | Verified[3] |
Manufacturer claims
Documented compatibility
- Sawgrass SG500 / SG1000 printers — Sawgrass states SubliJet UHD is the ink for these printers.
Limitations
- Sawgrass does not publish cartridge capacity or composition in the fetched page text — the capacity figure circulating elsewhere is not verified here.
- Sublimation chemistry only bonds with polyester and polymer-coated substrates, and shows best on light bases — substrate choice governs results.
- Warranty statements differ between Sawgrass's own pages (scope and purchase-date qualifier); read the current terms before relying on them.
