The Epson SureColor F170 is a compact dye-sublimation printer built for small-shop personalization work: mugs, awards, mousepads, tiles and apparel transfers. It uses Epson's PrecisionCore printhead with genuine UltraChrome DS sublimation ink, and the bundle adds a full CMYK ink set, heat tape, sublimation paper and access to a sublimation class, so it runs out of the box. It is slower and prints narrower than the larger F570, but it takes far less bench space and is the usual entry point for a home or craft business. Owners rate it highly for print quality and easy setup.

Owners rate it 4.9 out of 5 and mostly praise the print quality and how quickly it is producing sellable transfers. The common caveats are speed and the need for a heat press alongside it.
