A few months ago, Epson teased the industry with a new mystery DTG printer at Printing United. Today, we have more information about Epson’s new F1070 entry-level DTG printer. In this blog, we will answer the top 10 questions that we have been asked about the F1070 DTG printer.
When Will the F1070 Be Available?
The F1070 will begin shipping in May 2024. You can register your place in line at itsupplies.com to join the registration list with no cost or obligation. This is the best way to ensure you get one of the first printers!
How Much Does the F1070 Cost?
The F1070 is priced at $6,995 before monthly promos. This makes it less than half the price of the mid-volume F2270, which costs $17,995 before monthly promos. The F1070 is one of the lowest-cost DTG printers in the industry and offers the best value when considering quality, reliability, and service coverage.
How Does the Print Quality Compare to Other Epson DTG Printers?
The print quality of the F1070 is just as good as the current F2270 and F3070 printers, and even better than the previous Epson DTG printers. This is because the F1070 shares the same print head and ink set as the F2270 and features the newest Garment Creator 2 software, providing higher resolution than previous models.
What Is the Largest Shirt Size I Can Print?
The F1070 has a maximum print size of 10 in x 12 in. It is compatible with smaller Epson platens, such as the 7×8 inch extra small platen or the 4×4 inch sleeve platen. However, the largest platen size that you can use is the included 10 in x 12 in platen.
How Many Shirts Can I Print per Hour?
The F1070 can print approximately 10 shirts per hour with white and colored inks, and about 20 to 25 shirts per hour without a white layer. For DTF film transfers, you can expect to print about 10 transfer sheets per hour at 10 in x 12 in per transfer. However, if you require higher production speeds, you should consider a production-oriented model like the F2270 or F3070.
What Is the Footprint of the Printer?
The F1070 is designed to be Epson’s most compact desktop DTG printer ever. It measures 35 inches wide, 17 inches high, and 28 inches deep. It is fully enclosed and can be pushed all the way back against the wall. The printer’s weight is just over 150 lbs, making it compact yet robust.
How Much Do the Inks Cost?
The F1070 uses the same DG2 inks found on the F2270 but in smaller 250 ml ink packs. Each ink pack costs $125, resulting in a per milliliter ink cost of 50 cents. If you are looking for ink savings, the F2270 offers 30% ink savings, while the F3070 offers 70% ink savings compared to the F1070.
Who Is the F1070 Made For?
Epson sees the F1070 appealing to small business apparel decorators currently using heat transfer vinyls, embroidery, or DTF transfers. It is also designed as a first DTG printer for print service providers who want to expand into t-shirt printing. The F1070 is user-friendly, easy to load, aligns automatically, and adjusts to garment thickness.
Does the Printer Come With Inks?
Yes, the F1070 will ship with a full set of CMYK inks and two white inks, which is a $700 to $750 value. Inks are included with the printer, so you can start printing right away.
Does the Printer Come With a Warranty?
Yes, the printer comes with a 1-year warranty. Additional extended warranties will be offered, although details are yet to be announced. Registering in the no-obligation order queue at itsupplies.com will provide you with the latest information on warranties.
