From personalized t-shirts and hats to unique home décor and gifts, this printer supports print sizes up to 8.5” x 14” (legal), giving you the flexibility to tackle a wide range of projects. A heat press is required to transfer your designs, ensuring durable, washable, and light-resistant results that maintain their vibrancy over time. Fast, High-Resolution Printing Experience fast printing speeds of up to 45 seconds per sheet and a high-resolution output of 1,200 x 2,400 dpi for ultra-sharp, professional-quality images. Whether you’re printing in Quality Mode for stunning detail or Speed Mode for quick turnarounds, the SP-1 delivers exceptional results every time. Its wireless, USB, and Ethernet connectivity options make it easy to print from your mobile device, laptop, or desktop, with support for both PC and Mac. Eco-Friendly and Reliable Brother prioritizes sustainability with inks and cartridges designed to minimize environmental impact and reduce landfill waste. The SP-1’s automatic print head cleaning feature ensures low maintenance and prevents clogs, even after extended periods of inactivity. Backed by Brother’s 2-year warranty and a reputation for reliability, this printer is built to deliver consistent, high-quality performance for all your creative needs. Save Money & Time The Brother SP-1 stands out as a superior sublimation printer option and the #1 selling alternative to the Sawgrass SG500, primarily due to its significantly lower upfront and ongoing costs, making it far more accessible for beginners and small-scale creators without sacrificing print quality. The SP-1 also features cheaper replacement inks that deliver vibrant, high-resolution results comparable to Sawgrass outputs, while incorporating automatic maintenance cycles to prevent clogs effectively. Additionally, its seamless mobile printing via the Artspira app adds unmatched convenience for on-the-go workflows, addressing a key limitation in the SG500's more rigid, desktop-focused ecosystem.
