- What is the F6470H used for?
- It prints dye-sublimation transfer paper for apparel, soft signage, promotional items and other textiles that are later heat-pressed onto fabric or hard substrates. It is a production printer, not a finished-garment printer.
- How fast is it?
- Epson rates it at up to 820 square feet per hour. Real output depends on resolution, media and ink limits, so production speeds are lower than the headline figure.
- What ink does it use?
- UltraChrome DS dye-sublimation ink in cyan, magenta, yellow and high-density black. The high-density black is the point of this model versus standard four-color versions.
- Does it print unattended?
- Yes. A media take-up unit winds finished rolls and a built-in cutter separates output, so long runs can proceed without constant attention.
- What software comes with it?
- Epson Edge Print, which includes the Adobe PDF Print Engine for rendering PDF jobs accurately. RIP workflows from third parties are also commonly used.
- Do I need a heat press too?
- Yes. The printer only produces the transfer. You need a heat press or calender to transfer the print onto fabric or coated substrates.
