Meet the Epson SureColor F170
When it comes to sublimation printing, you do not always need a large machine to get professional results.
The Epson SureColor F170 combines a compact desktop footprint with genuine Epson dye-sublimation technology, refillable ink bottles, and dependable color output.
Small Printer, Serious Capability
A Practical Desktop Sublimation Solution
The Epson SureColor F170 is a purpose-built dye-sublimation printer created for small businesses, decorators, crafters, and entrepreneurs who want reliable results without dedicating a large amount of space to their printer.
It is well suited to smaller sublimation transfers used for mugs, ornaments, mouse pads, name badges, apparel designs, and many other personalized products.
Its combination of compact size, refillable ink, wireless connectivity, and professional color makes it a strong starting point for a new sublimation business or a useful companion printer in an established production shop.
01
Astounding Print Quality
One of the standout features of the Epson SureColor F170 is its ability to produce bright, detailed, and consistent sublimation transfers.
Whether you are preparing artwork for a shirt, phone case, mug, ornament, mouse pad, or name badge, the F170 can produce sharp lines and vibrant color when used with compatible ink, paper, blanks, and color settings.
The printer is designed specifically for dye-sublimation rather than converted from a general-purpose office printer. This helps provide a more consistent and supported workflow.
02
Genuine Epson Dye-Sublimation Ink Technology
The F170 uses genuine Epson dye-sublimation ink designed to work with the printer’s PrecisionCore print technology.
During sublimation, the printed dye is heated until it becomes a gas. That gas bonds with polyester fibers or a compatible polyester-based coating, creating a durable full-color image.
Unlike surface-applied decoration methods, properly sublimated images become part of the product. This means they generally do not crack, peel, or sit heavily on the surface.
Benefits of a Purpose-Built Ink System
- Ink formulated specifically for sublimation printing.
- Supported printer and ink combination.
- Predictable filling and maintenance procedures.
- Color profiles developed for the printer system.
- No need to convert a standard office printer.
03
Tackles a Variety of Print Jobs
Although the Epson F170 is compact, it can support a wide range of personalized products that fit within its printing format.
Mugs and Drinkware
Create transfers for compatible mugs, cups, and selected drinkware products.
Apparel
Produce designs for white or light-colored polyester shirts and performance apparel.
Mouse Pads
Print full-color graphics for polyester-faced mouse pads and desk accessories.
Ornaments and Gifts
Decorate compatible ornaments, keepsakes, keychains, and small personalized gifts.
Name Badges
Create detailed transfers for coated metal and plastic name badge blanks.
Small Photo Products
Produce artwork for small coated panels, plaques, and decorative products.
One printer can therefore support many different product categories. You do not need a separate sublimation printer for each type of blank.
The primary limitation is transfer size. The F170 is best suited to projects that fit within its sheet-fed printing format.
04
Replace Ink Less Often
The Epson SureColor F170 uses refillable ink tanks supplied from high-capacity ink bottles rather than small disposable cartridges.
Each standard Epson bottle contains 140 ml of ink. The larger capacity can reduce the frequency of replacement compared with smaller cartridge-based systems.
Epson’s bottle design helps make filling straightforward while reducing spills and incorrect-color filling.
For businesses that print regularly, the tank-based system can reduce interruptions and make it easier to visually monitor ink levels.
06
