Thank you! I was glad I found your review as I was just looking at the F170. Your review was excellent and because of it I know it's the right machine for me.

Angie I am over the moon I found a video from you earlier when I was looking for help with sublimation. I am brand new to cricut and sublimation. I bought this same printer and so far, even with the painful sublimation learning curve and learning the materials, I love the printer. This printer was as you said super easy to set up and I liked that I did not have to do any type of conversion to use it. I was weary about converting any printer and voiding the warranty so I waited until I found something I felt comfortable investing in for crafting. Your content is invaluable and I am now obsessed with watching your videos. Thank you so much.

I got this printer several months ago, when my converted printer stopped printing. It has been great! But, I thought I'd mention/warn people. When I first got it, I did not purchase the Epson sublimation paper. I still had plenty of my previous Printer's Jack sublimation paper. That paper worked great with the converted printer, however, in this dedicated sublimation printer it had minor issues. While it was possible to make it work, the printer itself saturated the non-Epson paper. Meaning, the paper came out slightly wavy, and took forever to dry before you could actually transfer the print. Obviously you can tinker with that in the operating system's printer settings, but that's a hassle! This issue did not occur for me with the Epson branded paper, which is noticeably thicker. The Epson paper isn't the cheapest, but it is comparatively priced, so do get the Epson paper if you get this printer!

But I can say I am very happy with the colors I get from the dedicated printer and its associated inks! Particularly on photo panels -- in the printer setup dialog I pick that I am transferring to a hard surface, print, do the pressing, and the colors are great! Likewise I've done a few t-shirts (this is a hobby for me, not a business) and the colors have been equally nice. I would say, in a very unscientific way, the Epson sublimation inks might be more vivid after transferring than the previous inks (Printers Jack UV-resistant inks), particularly for photo transfers.

As always, you've done a great review! I purchased my F170 about two weeks ago, and I will never go back to a converted Epson again! I have been sublimating for a long time and have converted 6 Epsons. But on this printer I have run at least 25 sheets of EasySubli through with no pinwheels, paper jams or any other problems. Totally worth it! I only wish that Epson's large format sublimation upgrade wasn't a whopping $2500! (F570) It would be nice to find some middle ground for around $1000 or so. I don't have a need (yet) to print 24" wide. Love love love my printer. The efficiency is fantastic. My ink levels have barely moved! Already paid for it with the projects I've done.

@AngieHolden

I totally want to try EasySubli with this printer so I am happy to hear that it worked for you! I too want the F570 to come down in price or a middle ground printer!

I was browsing the internet yesterday and came across this printer , I am thinking of buying one

I just bought the Epson SC F170 a couple of weeks ago. It was spendy, but it’s been worth it. I debated between this and the F570, but I couldn’t justify paying the price tag of the F570, especially being new to sublimation. I have a Glowforge Pro, and while it’s not a waste of money, I could have saved and went with the Basic or Plus. I’m rarely doing large projects to justify paying more for the pass through. So, I used that logic in deciding between the F170 and the F570. I did buy the Epson paper to go with it so I can’t compare it to other sublimation paper. I don’t want to do anything to void my warranty with using non Epson ink and paper. The warranty and support was one of the main reasons I went with buying an Epson F170 vice converting an Epson printer. It’s so easy to set up straight out of the box (I’m on an iMac). Just make sure you follow the instructions and download the drivers and utility. 9 times out of 10, if it’s not working it’s because you didn’t successfully download the drivers and utility. I would recommend this printer to anyone who wants a warranty/support and for anyone who isn’t really doing large projects all the time…larger than 8.5 x 14. Buy this printer first and then upgrade later on, if needed. Oh, and I forgot! You also don’t have to mirror your project in your software (I use Silhouette Studio). The printer does it automatically when it prints it out even though the preview will show it as not mirrored.

The printer is for sublimation so it cannot be used as an office printer. If you were to purchase a regular EcoTank and convert it, technically it could be converted back. However, it is a big pain and a ton of work.

First of all. Thank you Angie. I've been hoping you'd do one on this great printer. When I decided I wanted to get into sublimation I didn't want to spend a fortune for initial cost or supplies to keep it going. Then I found this one. I loved that it came with everything at a great price and the refill cost was low and I kept my warranty. I also got Epson's paper at the same time. I've had mine since last fall. I don't print very often but haven't had any issues with my ink drying up or requiring maintenance to use it. You can actually use paper up to a little over 40 in, I can't remember the exact length. It tells you this on Epson's site but no mention of how to do it. I did watch a video on YT from the only person that I've seen sell the 8.5 on a roll. It works really great. For Christmas I made lots of glass cutting boards, I used Inkscape and put all for on one long paper, you load it from the front. It did great. I made sure I used rigid to make sure the ink came out right. I think this is key. I've been putting off trying easi subli but after this review, I'm going to try it, I already have it.

I do agree that I had a hard time figuring out how to load the paper in the printer (which side goes up/down) and I had to research it. I was told that it’s because the Epson sublimation paper is a multi-use paper vice other sublimation papers that are just designated for sublimation only. I don’t know how accurate that is though.

But I’m learning. Glad I got the all access from your sublimation camp. It was the best learning That I was able to under stand. The f170 was the printer I was getting so this video is so helpful. Thank you.

You can print from any program with this printer and choose your color options. With a converted printer, you need to use specific programs if you want to use color correction.

thanks

Just recieved one for Christmas and the set up was very easy. My question is what should I be doing if printing from Silhouette Business Edition? Should I be using the ICM color management under the 'more options tab' with this software? I haven't found any videos that clearly state what to use. Thank you so much and Happy New Year!

I would print in the same way and choose either rigid or textile.

This was a great video! Thanks so much! Does the F170 still require a maintenance tank replacement at some point?

I would say so but I haven't had to replace anything yet.

This was very helpful, thank you! I have the f170 and love it so far. A question, do you leave it on all the time? Seems weird to do that, but I’ve read that is recommended. (I’m just a hobbyist, and do not use it every day.) Thank you!

It is recommended for Sawgrass printers. Epson printers you can do either one. Leaving it on is easier for printing.

Hi Angie, thank you for your videos they are so helpful. Can you suggest me a good software or application that I can find for sublimination designs? Thank you!

Hi Angie, I have this printer but in UK this printer is called SC F100 instead of SC F170, might be worth amending your tags to reflect this. I have been using this printer for a few months now but still learned stuff about the settings so thanks so much. I love your videos! 😀

Wondering how are you doing with the printer so far since your post, I want to buy this same printer for sublimation. Are you using it heavily?

No wonder I can't find the F170 anywhere I wasted a lot of time looking but is the F100 really the same printer. I am looking at buying 1. Thanks

Great tutorial! What would be the largest shirt that you could put a sublimation on? I usually make mine 9”.

It prints up to 8.5 x 14 inches.

Of course I just bought this printer and tried to use my Koala paper. Go to YT to find a video and of course here you are! Wish I would have known I needed special paper but at least I have a working printer!!

Did you try the koala? I have that and htvront and I'm going to try it. Mine was being sold as a bundle with some off brand paper I opted out of

I'm really thinking of getting this printer, thanks for your review! Where do you recommending buying in & paper?

Hi Angie, thank you for sharing your experience with us. I am new at sublimation and I have a question about the ink, how many prints can you make before the ink running low?

@AngieHolden

A bunch. I am not sure of the exact number but the ink lasts a really long time.

Thank you ❤❤❤ Love for India

Thanks for this video. Just purchased this machine and seem to be having a few problems with color adjustment. Can ask you about setting up in photoshop. What color mode do you use? RGB or CMYK. Sometimes certain colors such as blue might print darker then I need when sublimating on acrylic. I do all my sublimating on acrylic with rigid setting, high and no color adjustment but just can't seem to zero it in. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again

@AngieHolden

Usually designers design in RGB but you are correct that the printer prints in CMYK. So yes you could see a difference just between those two.

Great video, Angie! Why do I need to add more ink if my ink tanks still have plenty of ink?

@AngieHolden

2 жыл бұрын

You don't have to! I was just saying it may fit in the tank so you don't have to store the bottles.

Love your videeos. And so nicely explained. But I do have a question. I use PS so I will only comment on those settings. Since you have selected PS manages colors AND selected the printer ICC, why do you still go into Printer Settings? I belive the "PS manages colors" should override whatever you select in the Printer Settings - except of course for paper and mirroring. But color correction should be done by the ICC selected. No?

Technically it SHOULD. But I change both places.

Thank you so much for this! I’m seriously considering getting my first sublimation printer and you’ve really helped me clarify my decision. I’m a little confused about the rigid/textile options, though. Do those refer to different paper types? (That is, is there an Epson “textile” paper for use with fabric and an Epson “rigid” paper for use with mugs?) Or does the printer use the same paper for each but print differently based on whether I chose textile or rigid? I hope that makes sense!

Paper is the same for both. The setting determines how much ink is laid down on the paper which should be different for different surfaces.

Hi Angie, thank you so much for your video! I have this printer. When I set it up there was ink left over. It has been several months the set up. Is this ink still ok to use and if so can I just put it in or do I need to do something after being added?

I have several videos showing the Cricut and a sublimation printer together. This printer can be used in that same way.

Thank you for explaining this so well! I looked through the comments but didn't see it, how did you get the icc profiles on your computer? I'm using illustrator and am having a difficult time with getting good color.

Hello Angie. I watched your video on converting my epson pring to a sublimation printer. It has been working great! However, I hit a snag...my printer is not pring the color I want and is printing more yellow in place of where other colors should be
