Combining the best of sublimation, DTG, and DTF in a single, compact system, VersiFlex™ allows professionals to seamlessly print on virtually any surface — from cotton and linen to ceramics, wood, metal, acrylic, and vinyl. VersiFlex™ eliminates the old dilemma of having to invest in multiple systems to support diverse materials.
Its patented ink set and specially formulated transfer papers allow professionals to create vibrant, high-durability designs across a wide range of substrates, including those previously incompatible with sublimation alone.
What makes VersiFlex™ truly disruptive is how it unites the versatility of DTF, the durability of sublimation, and the expandability of DTG into one fluid workflow. For years, decorators have had to choose between these benefits, now, they’re available together.
VersiFlex™ lets users print vibrant, high-definition designs on natural fabrics like cotton, linen, and denim, while also enabling durable transfers onto hard surfaces such as wood, ceramic, metal, and slate. It’s also compatible with heat transfer vinyl and traditional sublimation blanks, vastly expanding the creative and commercial potential of any print business.
The patented VersiFlex™ process integrates four proprietary Sawgrass components: industry-trusted printers, advanced VersiFlex™ inks, intuitive software, and proprietary transfer papers—such as VersiFlex™ Light self-weeding paper or TruePix sublimation paper. Designs are printed onto the paper and then transferred to the final substrate using a heat press, delivering a seamless, high-quality decorating experience across virtually any material.
Sawgrass developed VersiFlex™ specifically for on-demand producers, boutique printers, and growing custom merchandisers in Europe. The system offers a significantly lower total cost of ownership by reducing the need for consumables, eliminating pre-treatment steps, and minimising maintenance. Its streamlined production process is fully compatible with both the SG500 and SG1000 printers with standard or extended cartridge formats, making it ideal for commercial workflows. And with a compact footprint that requires no curing ovens or specialised ventilation, VersiFlex™ easily fits into almost any workspace.
‘With VersiFlex™, we’re bridging the long-standing gap between professional-grade output and the practical realities of modern production workflows,’ said Thomas Kirschner, President at Sawgrass. ‘Creative professionals, small businesses, and on-demand producers no longer have to choose between quality, versatility, and simplicity. This platform delivers the power of multiple systems, sublimation, DTF, and DTG, in one compact, affordable, and scalable solution. We’re delighted to showcase our disruptive technology at FESPA 2025 in Berlin, where the world’s most forward-thinking print innovators will see first-hand how VersiFlex is reshaping what’s possible in digital decoration.’
VersiFlex™ meets the growing demand for eco-conscious and safe production. The system is built around non-toxic, non-carcinogenic ingredients that ensure peace of mind for both operators and end-users. Its design minimises waste through precise ink usage and an efficient transfer process, helping reduce environmental impact.
VersiFlex™ works seamlessly within the existing Sawgrass ecosystem, including the MySawgrass design tool and the Sawgrass Print Utility software, and is fully compatible with all Sawgrass desktop printers using the VersiFlex™ set-up. With intuitive profile controls, plug-and-play functionality, and no steep learning curve, users can go from setup to production-ready in just a couple of hours, making it easy to deliver professional-quality results, fast.
FESPA Global Print Expo will be held from 6-9 May in Berlin. FESPA Africa, co-located with Sign Africa, is taking place on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (NEW EXPO DAYS), 9-11 September 2025, at Gallagher Convention Centre, Midrand. Register here.
