The Epson SureColor F170 is a compact dye-sublimation printer built for small-shop personalization work: mugs, mousepads, awards, tiles and apparel transfers. It uses Epson's PrecisionCore printhead with genuine dye-sub ink and ships as a turnkey kit with a full CMYK ink set, an installed maintenance tank and a 150-sheet auto-feed tray. Its main draw against larger sublimation printers is the small footprint and simple setup; the trade-off is a limited maximum print width and a reliance on Epson's own ink. Buyers rate it highly, and owners describe it as an easy first sublimation printer for a home or craft business.
