Epson SureColor F2270
Epson's hybrid direct-to-garment and direct-to-film printer: PrecisionCore MicroTFP head, UltraChrome DG2 ink, platen-based printing up to 16 × 20 in — specified here from Epson's own product page, user's guide, and launch announcement.
What it is
A platen-based inkjet printer that Epson positions for both direct-to-garment printing and direct-to-film transfer production on the same machine. Garments or film sheets sit on interchangeable platens and pass under a PrecisionCore MicroTFP printhead running UltraChrome DG2 ink.
Epson's documentation assumes supporting equipment you buy separately: a heat press or equivalent for pretreatment fixing and finishing, pretreatment fluid for polyester and for white-ink work on cotton, and — for DTF output — commercially available film and adhesive powder.
Who it may be relevant for: Decoration businesses weighing one machine that covers both DTG onto garments and DTF transfer production, with platen sizes from sleeve-scale up to 16 × 20 in.

Manufacturer claims
Limitations
- Epson states the printer is designed for use with Epson ink packs only, not third-party ink.
- Absolute production-speed figures are not published by Epson; any garments-per-hour number you see elsewhere is not from the official documentation cited here.
- DTF (DTFilm) output additionally requires third-party film, powder, and a curing/finishing workflow the printer does not include.
Material
Color Prime Quick Glide DTF Film
Color Prime's instant-peel DTF transfer film: 83 µm with a matte print side, documented on the brand's own page and on its retail partner DTF Station's listing — whose application guidance differs slightly and is recorded here side by side.
Checklist
DTF production checklist
A start-to-finish run sheet for DTF transfer production: printer condition, RIP setup, powder and cure, press parameters, and post-press checks — the routine that keeps transfers washable and colours consistent.
Calculator
DTF cost-per-print calculator
Estimate what each DTF transfer really costs from film, ink, and adhesive powder consumption — with print layout, labour, and waste factored in — so gang sheet and per-print pricing stops being guesswork.
