How big can the Epson SureColor F170 Print?

Maximum print size for the Epson SureColor F170 is 8.5 x 14.

Can a sublimation printer be used as a regular printer?

Sublimation printers like the Epson SureColor F170 are specialized for dye-sublimation printing only. They are not designed to function as traditional inkjet or laser printers for everyday document printing. The key difference lies in the type of ink and printing process used.

Dye-sublimation printers use a unique process where solid ink is heated to a gas state and then absorbed by the surface of materials, such as fabric or coated substrates. This process is specifically suited for creating high-quality, vibrant, and durable images on items like mugs, mousepads, and textiles.

Traditional inkjet or laser printers, on the other hand, use liquid ink or toner to create images on paper. The inks and toners used in these printers are not suitable for the sublimation process.

Attempting to use a dye-sublimation printer for regular document printing would likely result in poor print quality, damage to the printer, or both. Additionally, the specialized sublimation inks may not be compatible with standard paper.
