Epson SureColor F170 Dye-Sublimation Printer 

Product Description:

The Epson SureColor F170 is a compact, high-performance dye-sublimation printer that delivers professional-quality sublimation printing right out of the box — no complex setup, no third-party software, and no aftermarket ink required. Designed for small businesses, craft entrepreneurs, side hustlers, and personalization professionals, the F170 prints vibrant, full-color sublimation transfers for mugs, tumblers, mousepads, coasters, awards, plaques, phone cases, keychains, ornaments, polyester apparel, and virtually any polyester-coated or polymer-coated substrate you can press with a heat press.

At the heart of the F170 is Epson's PrecisionCore microTFP printhead with Precision Droplet Control — the same printhead technology found in Epson's commercial wide-format sublimation printers, miniaturized into a compact desktop form factor. The printhead's 784 nozzles (400 black, 128 each for cyan, magenta, and yellow) produce variable-sized droplets at up to 1200 × 600 DPI resolution, delivering extraordinary color saturation, smooth gradients, fine detail, and high color contrast that make your sublimated products look truly professional.

The F170 is a genuine turnkey solution. Open the box, install the included full set of CMYK ink bottles (140mL capacity each with auto-stop technology for mess-free filling), load sublimation paper into the 150-sheet auto-feed tray, install the included print software optimized specifically for dye-sublimation output, and start printing. No driver hacking, no ICC profile hunting, no aftermarket ink cartridge conversions — everything is engineered to work together from minute one. Epson's DS Transfer Multi-Use Paper (sold separately) is specifically formulated and matched to the F170's ink and print settings to produce exceptional image quality on both soft and rigid substrates.

Flexible connectivity lets you connect via USB for direct desktop printing, Ethernet for shared network access in a workshop, or integrated Wi-Fi for wireless printing from anywhere in your workspace. The included print software runs on both Mac and Windows, providing streamlined print settings optimized for sublimation — including color management, layout tools, and media presets that eliminate the guesswork. The remarkably compact footprint (just 13.7″ × 13.7″ when stored) maximizes workshop and desk space, fitting easily alongside a heat press in even the smallest craft rooms and home offices.

High-capacity 140mL ink bottles replace ink less often and keep your per-print cost low, while the auto-stop filling mechanism prevents overfilling and mess. A replaceable maintenance tank (C13S210125) collects waste ink for clean operation. The F170 prints on sheet sizes from 3.5″ × 5″ up to 8.5″ × 14″ (legal), covering the most popular sublimation transfer sizes for small-format products and apparel. Backed by Epson's world-class service, support, and a 1-year limited warranty with optional extended service plans available.
