Epson Sure Color F170 Dye Sublimation Printer

Epson SureColor F170 Dye-Sublimation Printer

The Epson SureColor F170 Dye-Sublimation Printer is a compact, production-ready solution for entrepreneurs, print shops, and growing customization businesses that want consistent, professional-quality sublimation results from day one. Built as a true turnkey system (not a converted desktop printer), the F170 helps you produce vibrant, high-contrast transfers for mugs, awards, mousepads, apparel, signage, photo panels, and more—without the constant troubleshooting that slows down output.

Built for Real Sublimation Workflows (Not Hacks)

If you’re upgrading from a converted inkjet or an inconsistent setup, the F170 is a major step up in reliability and repeatability. It’s powered by Epson’s PrecisionCore® MicroTFP printhead technology, delivering crisp detail, smooth gradients, and strong color accuracy across repeat jobs—exactly what you need when you’re fulfilling orders, not experimenting.

• Precision Droplet Control for sharp text and clean edges
• Professional-grade clarity for photos, logos, and fine details
• Consistent output across repeat orders and longer runs

High-Margin Products Your Customers Actually Buy

Sublimation is one of the fastest ways to build a profitable customization business because low-cost blanks can turn into premium retail products.
