Key Features
The SureColor F570 Pro allows users to get amazing, fast, and reliable sublimation printing right out of the box. The printer’s 24” size is perfect for printing mugs, awards, small textiles, and more.
Here are the key features that make this printer the ideal choice for your dye-sub business.
Amazing Print Quality
The F570 features Epson’s PrecisionCore Micro TFP printheads that offers precision droplet control, which delivers pin-sharp clarity and detail to your images. To further the level of detail you get from this printer, it outputs at resolutions up to 2,400 x 1,200 dpi for fantastic image quality.
Nozzle Verification Control technology analyzes nozzle conditions and makes adjustments as needed.
Bright Images
The last thing you want when printing is for your images to appear dull and to lack in contrast. The F570 uses vibrant inks to give your images rich color saturation with high contrast. The result is that your images pop with color and detail.
Versatile Media Support
Being able to print on a variety of media is essential if you want to run a printing business. The F570 accommodates paper up to 24” wide and comes with a 50-sheet auto feed tray. To make your job easier, the printer features a built-in cutter to make you more efficient in your work.
Job Variety
This printer is the perfect choice for people who are serious about running a printing business. The general-purpose transfer paper allows you to print high-quality, colorful images on both soft and hard materials. Being able to print on a wider variety of products means more opportunities to sell and more loyal customers.
Support
While this printer is easy to use right out of the box, it’s good to know that you have available support when you need it. The F570 is backed by Epson’s world-class customer service and support, which means you get help when you need it.
Compact Design
Whether you have a large shop or are just starting with a small studio, the F570 features a small, sleek design that fits in small spaces while still delivering high-quality printing output. You can opt to place this printer on a desktop or purchase an optional printing stand.
High Capacity Ink Bottles
Replacing ink is a chore, so this printer comes with large capacity bottles with an auto-stop, which means you don’t have to replace the ink as often, and when you do, you can do so without the mess that you have with other setups. Filling ink less often also saves you money.
Print Right Out of the Box
The last thing you want when you purchase a printer like this is to navigate a steep learning curve just to use it. However, the F570 is ready to go right out of the box with software drivers optimized for both Apple and Windows computers.
Intuitive Operation
The large LCD touchscreen makes printing tasks simple. This powerful tool allows for layout and color management, ink control, cost estimation, and much more. All of this is at the tip of your fingers for greater control of your business.
Fast Print Speeds
Being able to turn jobs around quickly means more profits for your printing business, and thankfully, you can do that with this printer with its 1.33” print head and 800 nozzles per color. This printer is ranked as one of the fastest dye-sublimation transfer printers in its class.
Flexible Connectivity
Regardless of the computer platform, you’re using, the Epson F570 easily connects via USB, ethernet, or integrated wireless systems. There is no need to buy extra equipment to simply make your printer work with your current setup.
Eco-Friendly
In addition to the above features, this printer is RoHS compliant, which is a product level compliance where products cannot exceed allowable amounts of restricted materials. These materials include lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and other hazardous products.
