VersiFlex

Print on cotton with VersiFlex

Sublimation ink bonds to polyester and coated materials. VersiFlex is a different ink set for the SG500 and SG1000, which opens up cotton blends and treated items.

  • A printer of its own You do not swap VersiFlex and sublimation in one machine: you set an SG500 or SG1000 aside for it.
  • More materials Cotton blends and treated items, where sublimation ink alone will not hold. Four cartridges: CMY plus the expander, which takes the place of black.
  • Ink and media The print transfers from VersiFlex media, not from sublimation paper. Both are reordered separately, per colour and per size. View the media ›

The difference

Sublimation or VersiFlex?

Same machines, different jobs. Most shops end up running both, each in its own printer.

SubliJet-UHD Our sublimation ink. The colour goes into the material, not onto it: it will not scratch, peel or wash out.
  • Polyester and polyester blends
  • Coated items: mugs, ChromaLuxe, metal
  • Light-coloured garments
  • Transfers from sublimation paper

Questions

VersiFlex questions we answer every day

The questions that come in before someone starts with VersiFlex. Technical faults live on the support page.

Do I need a second printer for VersiFlex?

Yes. The two ink sets are not interchangeable in one machine, so you set an SG500 or SG1000 aside for VersiFlex. Starting out, a VersiFlex bundle is easiest: printer and ink in one go, dedicated from day one.

Do I need special paper?

Yes. The print transfers from VersiFlex media, not from sublimation paper. We stock it in A4, A3 and 13" x 19", in packs of 50 or 100 sheets. The size follows your printer: A4 for the SG500, A3 or 13" x 19" for the SG1000.

What can I print on?

Cotton blends and treated items — the materials sublimation ink alone will not hold on to. Unsure about a specific product? Send it to us; we run these machines ourselves and can tell you what it does.

Why an expander instead of black?

VersiFlex builds its transfer differently from sublimation: the fourth cartridge is the expander rather than a black ink. So you order CMY plus expander, not CMYK.

Can I reorder VersiFlex like regular ink?

Yes. Per colour, in standard or extended capacity, just like SubliJet-UHD. Reorder through the webshop or straight from Print Utility with our dealer code.
