Epson SureColor SC-F6400
Epson's 44-inch-class roll-fed dye-sublimation printer for transfer paper, in 4-colour SC-F6400 and 6-colour SC-F6400H versions with UltraChrome DS ink — specified from Epson UK's product pages and GB datasheet, with unpublished fields left visibly unverified.
What it is
A roll-fed dye-sublimation printer in the 44-inch width class: it prints UltraChrome DS ink onto sublimation transfer paper, which is then heat-pressed onto polyester textiles and coated blanks. The SC-F6400 runs Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and High Density Black; the SC-F6400H adds a 6-colour mode.
Who it may be relevant for: Sublimation businesses stepping up from desktop output to roll-fed transfer production — sportswear, soft signage and coated-blank work.
UK market notes
- Two UK models, each with its own epson.co.uk page: this record documents the 4-colour SureColor SC-F6400; the SC-F6400H is sibling-model context, always labelled as such. The H page describes a 6-colour set (with Light Cyan and Light Magenta) alongside extended-set options (Orange and Violet; Fluorescent Pink and Yellow) — Epson's own presentation of fixed set versus options is reproduced, not resolved.
- Electrical requirements are not published on the fetched Epson UK page or GB datasheet — confirm supply requirements with Epson UK before installation.
- The standard UK warranty term is not stated; Epson UK lists 3, 4 and 5-year OSSE CoverPlus extensions. Confirm the standard term with Epson UK or your dealer.
- Epson's GB datasheet states compliance with the UK Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure (Product Security) requirements, with security updates for 7 years from purchase.
- The GB datasheet carries a "Last extracted: 2023-01-16" stamp and an operating-system list that stops at Windows 10 — where the live page and datasheet differ, the live page governs.

Limitations
- Electrical requirements and print speed are not published on the fetched UK sources — both are shown unverified rather than filled from elsewhere.
- The SC-F6400H's colour-set description is ambiguous on Epson's own page (fixed set versus selectable pairs) — reproduced, not resolved.
- The GB datasheet carries a 2023 extraction stamp; figures were cross-checked against the live page on the date shown.
- Dye-sublimation output requires transfer paper, a heat press or calender, and polyester or polymer-coated substrates — none are included.

How to price print jobs: costs, margin, and what shops get wrong
A practical pricing method for print and decoration businesses: build the true cost of a job (materials, labour, setup, overhead), choose margin deliberately, and avoid the mistakes — free owner labour, margin/markup confusion, and copying competitor prices.
