Thank you for an Informative video on ET-F170. I am a Cricut crafter and from time to time will take in an order or two. My color on my design space canvas (burgundy) looked great until I printed on my converted ET-2800. It sublimated brown. No matter what I did, brown was the it. Disappointed and frustrated. I saw many videos on ICC Color profile and was overwhelmed. So I decided to get a sublimation printer and decided on ET-F170. But, your video stood out the most. You stated that color profile is inside the driver and colors should print true to image on screen. I’m paraphrasing your words. This sold me and I’m purchasing one tomorrow. My converted Epson works well, but I need true colors when I making a craft for purchase. I just subscribed to your channel and thank you again for this video 😊
This is a great review, I’m leaning towards buying this printer for me and my wife starting a new venture. This is new to both of us and I’m hearing good things about this printer as a starter
Thank you for your thoughts on this printer. I'm really glad that Epson has decided to offer printers that are specifically designed for sublimation. Your review and comments helped me to decide on this printer. I especially like that I don't have to pay TOP dollars to own a sub printer and I won't have to worry about voiding the warranty by converting this printer. I only have one question; will this printer be available to print larger than 8.5 x 14?
This is exactly what I needed and thank you for very detailed and honest review. I heard that Epson Eco-tank will last about 2. years when turned into sublimation printer. Do you know how long F170 will last on the average?
I have a question when i sublimate my design on my garment the colour are not the same as the colour on the design i made i don’t know why I have an epsonf170 like yours maybe you can help me figure it out thanks 😊
My 2803 has done me well for 4 years, but recently, it is not printing well anymore no matter what I do. I just purchased the surecolor f170 yesterday. Can't wait to use it
I'm having a hard time finding the sublimation paper for this printer. So I have not set it up yet. I have had it about a year now, where do I find that the paper you use? Is getting direct fro Epson the only way? Same for the ink... thank you
does the sublimation tape matter between brands? should I be using only the epson paper?. I currently use A-Sub and when I switched over to this printer, my design no longer looks the same as it should on my glass tumbler. the colors look almost burned/brown. when it should be black dark colors. when I rprint bright bold colors, it comes out lighter colors and when I press it onto my frosted glass tumbler the colors are too light. I don't know what else to do . I have tried changing the setting and can't get it right
I just got my printer yesterday, followed this video and I did a few test prints and I have pizza wheels, what is the solution to that? That doesn't make me like like this $600 printer. I bought it to avoid issues, not have them immediately.
Hi I’m a new sure color f170 user and I got it set up and I did print something from my computer but it will not let me connect or print from my phone what can I do
Ok I’m looking into getting a new printer because the Epson I converted gave me the error ended of life so I can’t use it so I want a printer that I can’t keep getting that error can you help me out
That’s the largest! I also have a converted epson ecotank 15000 which prints tabloid size 11 x 17. So if you want to print bigger- that’s a good option!
You can also print up to 47.24 (I can't remember the exact, but this is close) I get it on the role. I've had mine for a couple of years and love it. I've also not had to ever clean my print heads even though I've gone close to 6 mos without printing. I love my Epson so much, now I also own the F570. Also love it too. This is a great video
Hi I was just wondering if you have had any problems with that what can I call it I can see you know when your printer goes back-and-forth like if you opened the top on your printer I have the same printer as you by the way that’s why I’m asking you this question when the printer goes back-and-forth left to right and there is a ribbon that covers the width of I guess you can see the paper there’s a ribbon that covers the I guess underneath there’s some important parts. I don’t know if they’re important but my ribbon when I was doing a head cleaner cleaning the ribbon came loose and that ribbon was found over on the left side of the printer and I had obviously had taken it off and on the underneath of this ribbon there is just a couple of pieces of tape and that couple of pieces of tape is what held it in place I guess. I called Epson and Epson told me since I took it off which I never did I told her that it came off when I was doing a head cleaner I printed a total of 80 pages with this Printer and he told me he was going to give me a 10% coupon off my next purchase of one oh I paid $600 for this and now it’s just a giant paperweight and I bought a 2 1/2 years ago so obviously my warranty is no longer I’m thinking I’m since I have no warranty of just getting some double-sided tape and taping it on to the area where the other tape was what are your ideas or have you had this happened to you
You don’t need registration marks with your sublimation prints! You can just hand cut it since the negative space won’t have any ink. But if you want them- instead of mirroring everything- flip your image before sending the job to print. And then turn off the printer’s mirror option.
Your videos are always so thorough. Thank you.
This was definitely a long one but I didn't want to miss anything! Thank you for watching and commenting 😍

Thank you for a great review! Has anyone used the DTF Hack with this printer using transparent paper and then coating with DTF powder?
i am considering purchasing this one, i have an et-2803 that i converted but it prints so slowly. how is the speed on this F170?
My 2803 has done me well for 4 years, but recently, it is not printing well anymore no matter what I do. I just purchased the surecolor f170 yesterday. Can't wait to use it
Thanks soooo much for the video finally I got my printer to work.
Hi! Have you done the board book tutorial yet? Or could you share the link for them? Thanks!
I have been waiting for this review!!!! 😍😍😍

Hi, I would love for you to suggest where I can buy the Epson F170 printer, and the ink, and what sublimation program? Thank you
does the sublimation tape matter between brands? should I be using only the epson paper?. I currently use A-Sub and when I switched over to this printer, my design no longer looks the same as it should on my glass tumbler. the colors look almost burned/brown. when it should be black dark colors. when I rprint bright bold colors, it comes out lighter colors and when I press it onto my frosted glass tumbler the colors are too light.

Bidirectional needs to be off
Hi what manufacture did you buy yours? I know Epson does not have them on their site
Hi I’m a new sure color f170 user and I got it set up and I did print something from my computer but it will not let me connect or print from my phone what can I do
HELLO, YOUR VIDEO'S ARE VERY THOROUGH. MY F170 PRINTER COMING BY MONDAY, I CAN'T WAIT.
As just a crafter how long will the ink last before replacement, except black as you mentioned.
I’ve printed over 100 times and the ink levels look the same as they did in this video 😳
@@KarleyHall Thank you
You missed out the colour management setting on the print driver and within illustrator. What settings should they be please?
I use the default setting and let Epson control the color
Best website to buy the Epson Ink From?
Ok I’m looking into getting a new printer because the Epson I converted gave me the error ended of life so I can’t use it so I want a printer that I can’t keep getting that error can you help me out
I have it got it yesterday how can I change the settings for the color ?
You can change color settings from your printer settings, but I have found when epson controls the color, it works the best!
@@KarleyHall yes I can only use Epson ink I have hiipo ink in my 2803
What are your experiences with head clogs so far?
I let it sit for a month (turned off and unplugged) and printed without any problems!
Does it print larger than 8.5 x 14
That’s the largest! I also have a converted epson ecotank 15000 which prints tabloid size 11 x 17. So if you want to print bigger- that’s a good option!
@@KarleyHall thank you I appreciate the information

Just got mine from the UPS guy today! Now i need some paper, yo..
Thank you for sharing.
Can I refill the tanks before they are completely empty?
Totally!!! It’s probably best that you don’t so that your printer’s ink lines stay nice and inky 🥰
Why cant I get added sayings and hearts and things to print with my main picture?
Can I print from my phone
Yep!
can i run hippo ink instead of epson ?
You can but I wouldn’t recommend it since the color profiles are set with epson ink.
Thank you.

You don’t need registration marks with your sublimation prints! You can just hand cut it since the negative space won’t have any ink. But if you want them- instead of mirroring everything- flip your image before sending the job to print. And then turn off the printer’s mirror option.
