Product Mission
Better Performance. More Profit.
How do you reinvent the dye-sublimation transfer printer? You start by designing every component to work together.
From the print head and ink technology, to the printer mechanism and software. The result? A high-performance
dye-sublimation transfer printer designed with extreme reliability for true industrial-level production.
Introducing the Epson SureColor F6070 (44”) and F7070 (64”) printer family
Developed using the latest advancements in performance imaging, like our exotic EPSON MicroPiezo® TFP® print
head, along with an all-new dye-sublimation ink technology – EPSON UltraChrome® DS – the purpose built
SureColor F-Series allows you to focus on what matters most – more profit.
