Our take on the Sublimation Printer – Epson SureColor F170 Dye-Compact 8.5" x 11" Format – Includes Genuine Epson Ink

The SureColor F170 is a purpose-built dye-sublimation printer, not an inkjet converted for sublimation. It uses Epson's PrecisionCore microTFP printhead, four colors of T49M sublimation ink in 140 mL bottles, and a 150-sheet enclosed tray that takes Letter, Legal and A4 paper. It prints up to 8.5 inches wide and 47.2 inches long, so it handles full-sheet transfers and long banners. It suits crafters, classrooms and small transfer businesses that want a compact, dedicated sublimation machine; compared with converting a standard inkjet, it avoids clogging and warranty problems, but it prints only on sublimation paper and needs a separate heat press.

What reviewers say

Owners treat the F170 as an easy entry into sublimation: it prints clean, vivid transfers out of the box and the included Epson ink saves a setup step. Most complaints center on the narrow 8.5-inch width and the need to buy a heat press separately.

  • Print qualityPraisedOwners say transfers come out sharp and colors are vivid on blanks.
  • SetupMixedMost find it quick to set up, but some struggle with the wireless connection.
  • InkPraisedBuyers like that genuine Epson sublimation ink is included and refills are clean.
  • Media widthCriticisedReviewers note the 8.5-inch limit restricts projects to Letter and A4 transfers.

About the Sublimation Printer – Epson SureColor F170 Dye-Compact 8.5" x 11" Format – Includes Genuine Epson Ink

The Epson SureColor F170 is a compact dye-sublimation printer built for sublimation transfers. It is purpose-built for sublimation, so no inkjet conversion is needed. It comes with a full set of genuine Epson sublimation ink.

It uses an Epson PrecisionCore microTFP printhead for precise droplet control and detailed transfers. The 4-color (C, M, Y, K) ink set is supplied in auto-stop ink bottles, which make refilling cleaner and easier. An enclosed 150-sheet auto-feed tray helps protect paper from dust.

To make finished items, design graphics on a computer and print the transfers. Then use a compatible heat press to apply them to appropriate sublimation blanks, such as apparel, mugs and mouse pads. The heat press and blanks are required and not included. The printer is set up with Windows and macOS computers. Mobile-device connection is not supported.

Is this different from a converted inkjet printer?
Yes. It is built for sublimation and uses Epson T49M sublimation ink, so you avoid the clogs and warranty issues that come with converting a standard inkjet.
