Epson SureColor F170 Dye-Sublimation Printer: overview
The Epson SureColor F170 is a compact dye-sublimation printer for makers, small shops and schools personalizing awards, mugs, mousepads and similar items. It uses a PrecisionCore MicroTFP printhead with 784 nozzles (400 black, 128 each for cyan, magenta and yellow), prints up to 1200 x 600 dpi and takes four-color (CMYK) T49M ink in high-capacity 140 mL bottles with auto-stop for mess-free filling.
A 150-sheet auto-feed tray handles sheet transfer paper, and Epson DS Multi-Use transfer paper is its recommended media for soft and rigid substrates. Connect over USB, Ethernet or wireless. Epson supplies streamlined print software optimized for dye-sublimation on Windows and Mac. The F170 weighs 10.2 lb, measures 14.8 x 19.8 x 7.4 inches while printing, and carries Epson’s standard one-year unit exchange with toll-free phone support, per Epson’s spec sheet. Its maximum paper width is 8.5 inches, so it is a letter-size printer; for wider formats, see the F370 and F570.
