What is the difference between the Sawgrass SG500 and SG1000?

The main difference between the Sawgrass SG500 and SG1000 comes down to three main factors.

1. Printing Size

With the Sawgrass SG500, you can print up to 8.5" × 14", while the SG1000 supports prints up to 11" × 17". Add the optional bypass tray, and both printers can print media up to 51" long, opening the door to oversized and specialty projects. Keep in mind that the maximum print width remains 8.5" on the SG500 and 11" on the SG1000.

2. Ink Capacity

The SG500 uses smaller 31 mL ink cartridges, while the SG1000 can support high-capacity 70 mL cartridges, allowing for longer print runs with fewer cartridge changes.

3. Ideal Use Case

The Sawgrass SG500 offers a lower upfront investment, making it an excellent choice for startups, hobbyists, and crafters focused on smaller-format products like mugs, coasters, and other personalized gifts. The SG1000 is designed for growing businesses that need larger print sizes and higher production capacity, making it ideal for creating oversized apparel, home décor, signage, and other large-format products.

How big can the Sawgrass SG1000 print?

The Sawgrass SG1000 is capable of printing documents as large as 11" x 17". However, by adding the optional bypass tray, you can extend your printing length to an impressive 51 inches!
