The new VersiFlex three-in-one digital decoration system unveiledtby Charleston, South Carolina-headquartered Sawgrasss at the FESPA Global Print Expo 2025 in
Berlin, Germany.
As a disruptive innovation designed for the modern
European print industry, it is said to eliminate the need 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.
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.
Sawgrass has 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 longstanding gap between professional-grade output and the
practical realities of modern production workflows,” said
Sawgrass president Thomas Kirschner. “Creative
professionals, small businesses and on-demand producers
no longer have to choose between quality, versatility and
simplicity. We have delighted to showcased our disruptive
technology at FESPA 2025 in Berlin, where the world’s
most forward-thinking print innovators saw first-hand how
VersiFlex is reshaping what’s possible in digital
decoration.”
