Our take on the Epson F170 SureColor Sublimation Printer

The Epson SureColor F170 is a desktop dye-sublimation printer built for making transfer prints for tumblers, shirts, mugs and other coated blanks. It uses Epson's own sublimation ink in 140 ml bottles and ships with a full CMYK set and a maintenance tank. It is the entry point into Epson's SureColor sublimation line, aimed at crafters and small shops rather than high-volume production. Owners rate it highly for print quality and reliability, though it is a slow single-function machine that needs a heat press to finish any job.

Questions and answers

What do I need besides the printer?
A heat press and sublimation blanks such as coated tumblers, mugs or polyester shirts. The printer only produces the transfer paper.
Does it come with ink?
Yes. It ships with a full CMYK set of Epson sublimation ink in 140 ml bottles and a maintenance tank.
Can I use regular ink in it?
No. It is built for Epson sublimation ink; ordinary inkjet ink will not sublimate.
How does it compare with converting an EcoTank?
The F170 is purpose-built for sublimation, so there is no conversion, no third-party ink and no warranty risk. A converted EcoTank can print larger sheets but is a workaround.
What can it print on?
Sublimation paper only, which is then pressed onto polyester fabric or polymer-coated blanks. It cannot print directly on cotton or uncoated items.
Where is the Epson F170 SureColor Sublimation Printer cheapest?
At MakerFlo, for $399.00, as of our latest check.
