Tools & Supplies to Make It:

- Sawgrass SG1000 Printer + Bypass Tray
- Sawgrass Sublijet UHD Inks
- TruePix paper

How to Create It:
- Log into MySawgrass and from the Landing Page choose Design.
- For your product, select the Santa Sack by opening the Holiday category or by using the search bar.
- Once the design tool opens, you can add your design.
- Open the DESIGNS panel of the design tool and select the North_Pole_Santa_Sack design. You can find the design in the Deck The Halls category or by searching directly using the search bar.
- While this design was made specifically for the Santa Sack, you made need to size down for optimal printing. We recommend an approximate size of 12.75” x 17.40.”
- Personalize your sack with a custom name by clicking on the name text field and using the text editing panel.
- Once the design is in place, hit the Print button and then on the Print Screen click on Print File.
How to Print It:
- You should get a popup that asks if you want to open Sawgrass Print Utility. You will need to click Open Sawgrass Print Utility. If you are not seeing this, you’ll need to disable your popup blocker.
- In Sawgrass Print Utility, start by scrolling down and making sure your print orientation is set to Portrait.
- Set your print preset to Polyester T-shirt.
- Make sure that the media size and type match what you have in the printer. On the Color Management Tab, we suggest having the Color Mode set to Vibrant.
- When you’ve confirmed all of your settings, Hit Print.
How to Press It:
- Turn on your press on and set the temperature to 400F degrees
- Place your design face down on the sack and secure with heat-resistant tape.
- Press the sack for 45 seconds at medium pressure.
- When finished, remove the paper and reveal the magic.
Tips & Tricks:
- While this product has a large print area, if you do not have a bypass tray on your SG1000, or you have an SG500, just use this design on a custom canvas set to your largest paper size. Add the design to that and then print and press.
- Lint rolling fabric items before pressing helps remove any fibers or dust that may leave stray marks on your pressed item if not removed.
