Sawgrass SG500 Sublimation Printer vs Epson SureColor F570
The SG500 is the easier entry into sublimation: it is factory-calibrated for SubliJet UHD ink, ships with a full ink set and Creative Studio software, and fits a home studio. The F570 is the step up for volume and large work: 24-inch width, roll support, a 50-sheet tray, a built-in cutter and high-capacity ink bottles. Owners of the SG500 praise speed and compact size but report flimsy parts and unreliable wireless; the F570 is heavier, needs more space and is aimed at business use.
- Choose the Sawgrass SG500 if you are starting a sublimation craft or small apparel business and want a compact, calibrated setup with software and ink included.
- Choose the Epson SureColor F570 if you print wide transfers, run rolls, or need a cutter and high-capacity ink for steady production.
