Epson SureColor F170 vs Sawgrass Sublimation Printer
There are many things to consider when making the decision on a serious investment like a sublimation printer. You’ll need to consider the size of your workplace, your daily output and demands, and even nuances such as keeping the same color profile storewide. Allow us to make the first step just a little bit easier.
The new Epson F170 8.5” is a compact dye-sublimation printer that competes with all other sublimation printers in its class. Without sacrificing the quality expected from its products, Epson has released the F170 at an unbelievable price of $399. Not only is the printer itself priced competitively, the costs of ink and sublimation paper are by far the best you will find for this class of sublimation prints.
All three sublimation printers use sheets that are fed through a feed tray and allow you to create customized mugs, t-shirts, face masks, mouse pads, and more! Below, we have compared the Epson F170 to its competitors: the Sawgrass SG1000 and SG500.
