Anyone using the new Sawgrass sg500 or 1000?

Recommended Posts

Dont see many ppl in the forums here talking about the never models? Just grabbed an SG500. Finding my way around alright just wanted to see if anyone was using the siser ink?

There are only a couple hand fulls of volunteers here who answer questions. We are mostly the old timers of the bunch.  Not 1 person I know of, uses it.

Its crazy being the product is advertised so heavily. I really find the lack of info on these US cutter items unsatisfying? Yes you can dig around but you kinda get the sense this is a popular printer. Lots of online reviews and users mostly good!. But nobody on the forum or a US cutter rep can seem to help grasp what different alternate/medias that can be run in the machine. Of course sawgrass and siser only want you to run “their” stuff but I expected sticker paper offerings and some other potential choices. Just be nice to talk to someone with sawgrass history.

   It's not crazy at all.  Most people find their niche' and stay with it.  I make my living from cutting vinyl now for 15 years.  I don't need a printer.  This is not strictly a UScutter Item.  Why not join the Sawgrass community? THEY are the people who are using these printers.  Sawgrass has a discussion board.    Most people here cut vinyl, or they purchase large format printers.  Most, if they don't have problems, they don't even come here.  There could have been a 1,000 of those printers sold here this month,  That doesn't mean that the people come to the forum.   I don't know what you are expecting from us volunteers, when we don't even own the printer...  Try Signs 101 forum. 

Search sublimation products. At google or any online shop.   Most will tell you if can be used on a Sawgrass.   Blanks, paper, transfers, cups, etc.   Of course Sawgrass and Siser want to sell their products, they are not going to steer you to other material.   Just like vinyl,  or buying any other product, is your job to find the best products that work and experiment with.

With the Ricoh sawgrass printer and ink, use Tex print-r it is made for the fast moving Ricoh with gel I got and won’t smear like other paper.  Hope this helps.  Even when printing onto specialty decal material the Tex print r is the right choice to get to that point.  As far as using the decal paper , I have only seen one person years ago doing that as the cost is so high per decal compared to a solvent printer
