My pleasure I’m glad I could help. What would you like me to make a video on next?

I really appreciate how you show us the mistakes and how to fix them! Keep up the great work!

Yes, you're so on point about the software, it's so dial upish, they might as well put up the little running man while waiting for the next stage. Thanks for the info...

I watched your video because I also anticipated issues. I got my sawgrass sg500 about a month ago and had to schedule an appointment to have one of their reps set up my printer. Nothing was working before they came in and remotely fixed it. So I naturally anticipated issues printing on 11x14 and watched your video....super helpful video, btw. But guess what??? I selected legal size paper from the print manager screen and it automatically printed for me! I didn't have to do that work around you shared, but was totally prepared to. Not sure why it worked for me, but I subscribed to keep learning from you! Thanks for sharing!

Hi! Everything you're experiencing is absolutely correct!!! I've lost the excitement of using my SG500 and wondering should I convert my Epson 7720 instead. I also agree with you that they need to fix this ASAP! Thank you for the great video😊

I got the legal size paper included with print problems right off the bat.... thanks to your video, I'm good now. Sawgrass owes you another check!

Love how you are straightforward.

you are my man, i love how you teach us about stuff, very honest and details, keep it up man !

I have a Sawgrass sg500 also, how did you load your large paper in the paper tray that only expands to 8.5 in width. I need to print on 11 x 17 and I can’t figure it out

You can change size of image by changing between vertical and horizontal

You are so informative. I appreciate you and your videos. Thank you! A-DUBB!

OMG!! This video helped me so much. I had changed out my paper from letter to legal and was having so many problems ie. Alert light on, then paper feed stopped, then when I pressed feed form, it would send the paper out but then same process over and over... so much paper wasted not to mention the ink usage..Ugh! I had changed the paper settings on the print manager but not on the printer itself. Again, thank you! I've subscribed and now will watch all your videos! I look forward to seeing more Sawgrass 500 videos!

Heads up. Using none all over inks will void your warrantee. If anything goes wrong and you call in for trouble shooting they ask you to send them a photo of the inks and the bar code in the inks. If it’s not sawgrass approved ink sawgrass will void your warrantee. Just so you know.

Yes. Initially when I looked at the inks I had the same reaction but when you break it down. You get significantly more prints from from the more expensive inks. Ultimately after refilling your printer with less expensive ink a few times you probably end up spending the same amount. My ink lasts me about 4 and a half boxes of 110 sheet papers. Ofcorse it varies but. From making these videos and reading the comments when people ask me how come my ink last so long. The variable is always they are using generic ink. You get what you pay for. Here is the very first test I did just out of curiosity. kzread.info/dash/bejne/aISnu9KfeLC1ibw.html

your videos are so helpful I hate dealing with sawgrass they never answer the phone only want you to fill out a repair ticket then they email you scenarios on how to fix the problem I was having trouble printing after my computer up dated so again I thank you

My issue with this printer is it constantly alternates between offline (not ready) and ready even though I am online. Other than that issue, I love this printer. Also, I agree with Chris Rabideau about not using Creative Studio. I use Photoshop and after I finish a design, I choose print and select the option to send/print to Print Manager. It sends the file to the Sawgrass folder on my desktop and then I open that folder, click on the file and it opens up the print manager options, i.e., ceramic mug, mousepad, etc and then click print and the print quality is significantly better by sending to the Print Manager versus printing directly from Photoshop. For a cheaper, or even free design option, I recommend Canva. Lastly, you can use regular printer paper as opposed to the more expensive sublimation paper. That said, thank you again for another great video as I had no idea that it was possible to print on larger paper with the SG500! You rock!

Thank you for this video it helped me out so much!

Can you show us how to use the Sawgrass Hot Folder on the desktop? It is used to add multiple jobs of different designs to print out during the same session. For instance, if you had two different designs for two different mugs you could print them both from the same Print Manager screen. Fantastic video! I am so upset with this printer I could throw it through the window. Plus Sawgrass took away the "Customized Design" button away. I am an above average user and I dislike it so much.

You're so right about the print manager, many times, even now, two years later; it will not pop up for me.... and I will disconnect, re-start, re-login, etc., and have to figurte out the issue each time. Once I'm connected and have gotten it to print, the time isn't an issue... it's just that first time logging into everything. The delay and disconnect are awful and I'm using a direct connect wire because I can't get the wi-fi part to work.

No problem thanks so much for watching. I have to admit now that I’ve had it for a while the wait isn’t as bad as I initially thought. It almost seems like the more I sue it the shorter the time is. What I will advise is that you launch print manager as soon as you turn on your computer that way when you send your design to print the process will go faster. Also make sure you select the printer that says WiFi or you will be waiting for something that was not properly prompted. But my original wait complaint still exists but it’s not as bad as I originally thought.

Good video...Im frustrated that even tho that is a new model sawgrass...the same issues are still there from the previous models smh and sawgrass customer support does not help 1 bit...Best of luck and wishes to you and your new printer...

With the bypass tray that’s made for the sg400/500 you can print as large as 8.5”x50” long. You can print 8.5x14 without the bybass tray. In my opinion unless you need to print something that long it’s not worth the money. I would rather be able to print a little wider and the bypass tray does not allow you to do that.
