Epson F170 Unboxing: Meet Epson's NON Converted Sublimation Printer

[@ceciliaholcombe818]

You have been one of the top 3 for all the help I've needed on printers, embroidery, sublimation, etc. Can't thank you enough.

[@SilhouetteSchool]

Aww that's great to hear! Happy to help

[@LostSiren13]

Love my Epson’s. Have 4 of them. Great printers. Have the 3850 sublimation one and a regular inkjet and a workforce pro. Also have the small photo printer. Never have had any issues with Epson’s ever. Others definitely.

I have the Epson F170 and I love it! The colors are great and the crispness of the design is amazing. No maintenance (I just leave it on) and the ink lasts a very long time!

[@SilhouetteSchool]

I like it too!!

[@terrivh]

I thought it printed 13 x19 also

[@ThepreppyhorseGurl]

where do you buy the ink

[@jonniebonvillain7648]

@@terrivh 8.5 X 14 is the largest I print with mine. It will not take a paper wider than 8.5”.

Thank you for this I was going to by a sawgrass but was waiting because the ink is so expensive. Thanks for sharing ❤️

[@ChiquisJ70]

Thank you so much for this video!! I was about to buy some sublimation paper but I was wondering about the ink and my printer and you have asked my question!! Thank you!!

[@SilhouetteSchool]

Glad it was helpful!

I just set up my Epson F170 printer and it is printing double images and is blurry. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

[@marygasseling9662]

Where did you purchase the F170 from?

[@SilhouetteSchool]

It's available on Amazon. I put the link in the description of this video

I just set up my Epson F170 Printer and it is printing double images and blurry, I could use some help please.

I've seen a lot videos that say they use Hiipoo Sublimation Ink. How does that work, can you change brands when you run out?

[@SilhouetteSchool]

I don't know why you'd do that or want to do that. The Epson sublimation ink that comes with the printer can be replaced for a pretty low price when the original bottles run out. I would not put other ink in these printers

[@unicorn912]

Was just curious since videos I've seen say they are using Hiipoo ink not what comes with the printer. I am thinking about getting a printer so trying to get as much info as I can.

[@RSWALM1955]

Have you tried non-Epson inks in the F170 or know of anyone who has and have they worked just as well?

[@SilhouetteSchool]

No and I would not recommend doing that. There's no reason to do that - the epson sublimation ink is well priced.

[@kristibriggs41]

What's the stand that you have the F170 on in your thumbnail? ;)

[@SilhouetteSchool]

You'll find it here on this Amazon list in my shop www.amazon.com/shop/silhouetteschool/list/3F0HVMEC95XAP?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsflist_aipsfsilhouetteschool_BGNQV04QD4R6A6B1YN1F

love this ......

[@seneeawilliams6361]

How do you feel about this printer now?

[@SilhouetteSchool]

Never have any issues with my Epson printers! This is a great entry-level sublimation printer, but I prefer the F570 shrsl.com/4ngs5

[@faithangel3989]

You will love it 🩷🫶

[@SilhouetteSchool]

I have :) I actually have been using it for more than a year. I found this never-published video uploaded to my youtube and decided to publish. But I've been using this printer for along time with great success :)

[@staciecorke9561]

I’ve been wanting this one I bought an Epson 2803 and not even 2 months after buying it the thing broke Epson is no good with any type of warranty and I can’t buy a new printer every couple months cause Epson printers are crap and stop working and they won’t do anything about it so I wanted to go with Sawgrass and get away from Epson however Sawgrass wasn’t going to work for me so I looked at doing the new Brother sub printer but it’s so new I just don’t trust it so my only other choice was the actual Epson sub printer I’m hoping by May I will have enough saved to get this printer and be able to start a small local business which will also allow me to stay home with my babies and continue homeschooling my youngest who needs the 1 on 1 if not I gotta go back to work and unfortunately put him into public school which he’s never been so I hope this printer is worth it and will last far longer than my first Epson

[@SilhouetteSchool]

Were you using it for Sublimation? The 2803 is not a sublimation printer so if you converted it, that's where the issue likely started.
