Epson F170 SureColor Sublimation Printer

The Epson F170 sublimation printer has a maximum print size of 8.5" x 14" making it a great sublimation printer for tumblers, mugs and other small items. With the F170, you'll be able to sublimate most MakerFlo Sublimation Blanks.

This print size allows you to sublimate a large variety of MakerFlo sublimation tumblers and blanks including popular blanks like these

• 40oz Sublimation Tumbler
• 20oz Skinny Sublimation Tumbler

The Epson F170 prints up to 8.5\" x 14\", perfect for letter-size and legal-size sublimation paper. This size works great for tumblers, mugs, t-shirts, and most craft projects with the Epson F170.

With the Epson F170 you can sublimate both tumblers and apparel, but the max print size of 8.5x14 may limit you from making large size apparel.

Best for Apparel: Epson F570 Pro (it's larger print size allows for sublimating ALL sizes of t shirts and apparel).

Once your printer is set up, here's what else you'll need to start sublimating:

• Sublimation Blanks Specially coated tumblers and blanks which absorb sublimation printer ink from your designs Shop sublimation blanks
• Designs See this blog post for 1000+ ideas & inspo, plus some freebies
• Supplies - Sublimation Paper, Heat Tape & a Heat glove (so you don't get burnt)
• Heat Equipment For tumblers or round items you'll need a sublimation oven or a tumbler press. For flat items like tote bags, wind spinners and apparel you'll need a flat heat press.

Yes, the Epson F170 can print transfers for t-shirts up to 8.5" x 14". The F170 works well for standard designs, youth shirts, and pocket prints. For full-size adult apparel or all-over prints, consider the Epson F570 Pro instead of the F170.

While the F170 can print sizes up to 8.5" x 14", allowing you to sublimate apparel in many ways, a maximum 8.5” x 14” transfer may create limitations when fulfilling customer orders for oversized apparel or designs that require larger prints (up to 14” x 16”) or “all-over” printed apparel.

If you're looking to get into a full-fledged apparel business, a larger format printer like the Epson F570 may be the preferred choice, offering full-service printing options and a larger max print width of 24”.

For sublimating tumblers, or other cylindrical items, you can use a mug press or a sublimation convection oven. The MakerFlo 40L Sublimation Oven can evenly bake up to twelve 20oz skinny tumblers at once, speeding up large order fulfillment!

For flat items like wind spinners, pouches, tags, and coasters, you'll need a heat press. MakerFlo offers a Mini Sublimation Heat Press with a 5” x 7” heat plate designed for smaller craft items. A standard size heat press of 16” x 20” would work for most items you can print to sublimate with using the F170.
