This video is worth everything to convince you. I have always wanted a video like this. Thanks man for this video. You are doing a great job keep it up.

It's been two years and this video is still super helpful, thank you!

I appreciate the time you took to create this video. I was trying to accurately price our sub ink usage.

This video is the BEST informative sawgrass video I have seen. Thank you. You friggin make me laugh dude! Seriously. After silk screening by hand for decades, I have been researching the benefits of sawgrass vs. converted epson. You sold me dude. Nice work!!

Thank you. My biggest hangup when considering the Sawgrass was the cost of the ink. Feel better now. Thanks again.

Thanks so much for how informative your videos are! I’m waiting on my first sub printer- the sg1000- and have been binge watching any and all videos about sawgrass lol! Can’t wait to get started on adding to my small business 💖

This was a question I asked myself as to how many prints I can get and you are right, its worth buying. I bought the epson eco and because I am not printing often its clogged up. That's wasting time to clean and to maintain. This does not need the maintenance the converters need so it makes sense.

Thank you !!! I bought the SG500 and was wondering. Thanks for explaining that the ink level drops to half right away because it transfers a bunch to the tubes.

Thanks for this video, I was very frustrated to see how little the starter inks had in them and then the price of the refill ink. This at least makes me feel better about how many prints I can get before needing to refill. but you were forgetting about the cost of the blank shirts, which aren't cheap, so you'd need to probably double the amount of shirts and finding that many customers can be a challenge.

@DenisePoole-Closet-Crafts

I get what your saying but this is all about the ink cost. To factor in other costing would be complicated as they can be purchased at many different prices. I have made many shirts ect as I sew, so cost again be very different. Ink & printer are main concerns as to how or where people get the medium to print on is too vast.

@@DenisePoole-Closet-Crafts But the video talked constantly about selling for 20$ and ignoring the other costs and then proclaiming that by selling 45 of these magical free and new t-shirts you found and printed on, you can make back the money you spent on the printer. Obviously the ink is going to last you hundreds of sheets but at least use a benchmark of like $5USD for other material costs just to make the claim more realistic. Also the question in the video title is "How many prints until you need a refill" and the video does not answer that question unless you consider "more than 60" a sufficient answer. If you know a ballpark average ink cost per design (using a normal page yield standard for example), you could count how many prints you can make with standard size cartridges. For anyone curious the answer is around 600-700 prints for the 31 ml and 400-500 for the starter inks.

hi great video... from my research the starter inks that come with the SG500 have 20ml per cartridge as opposed to 31ml when buying new replacement ones.....further 1ml of ink supposedly equates to 1sq ft of ink. so in the grand scheme of things yes the inks expensive but it goes a log way ;-) just subscribed Tony UK

I purchased sawgrass 500, and I did not get that many prints. Way under 50. The ink was more of a waste for me. My prints did not turn out vibrant. I got in contact with the company they walked me through print manager setup and said that was the problem. However, by that time there was no ink left for me to print. It took me forever to get in touch with the company to troubleshoot. I am not feeling good about purchasing ink for the price it is just because I had a terrible experience with it. It was a waste of money for me. However, thanks for your video, and the knowledge you provided.

That’s unfortunate. Yea. I have the sg500 and sg1000 got well over 100 prints with both. Sometimes tech can be frustrating. I’ve had experiences like that with other tech. I decided that ultimately their are so many other people having great experiences that I need my products to work like theirs so I figure it out and have gotten things sorted out every-time. The alternative is to just quit in the product. I don’t quit. Especially if there is proof that things work. The dtg was a little rough. Now I got it running smooth. Gotta do what works best for you. Good luck.

But with regards to the number of prints you achieved it should be taken into account that you are only using 50% of the print medium ie the smaller the print the less amount of ink used and the greater number of pages printed on.

Thanks for this video, how many oz does each ink cartridge have?

It only takes about 45 seconds for my prints to start from within my Silhouette software, which still uses the PM - I do NOT use the Creative Studio. Conde will tell you NOT to connect WiFi with this machine. I was told by Sawgrass that using PM does help control the ink used. Printing directly from Photoshop, etc, is going to use a lot more ink.
