The Epson SureColor SC-F500 is a 24-inch dye-sublimation printer designed to bring fast turnaround and flexible production to small businesses, including promotional houses, photo labs, clothing producers and copy shops. As Epson’s first Wi-Fi-equipped dye-sublimation model, it supports easy use of both roll and cut-sheet media, facilitated by an automatic media change-over mechanism. The printer employs a PrecisionCore™ TFP printhead and uses refillable 140 ml dye-sublimation ink bottles, enabling on-the-fly refills that help reduce downtime. It includes an anti-dust head guard to prevent nozzle clogging and misprints.
Productivity and cost control are supported through integrated tools such as the Epson Accounting Tool, and the 4.3-inch touchscreen supports intuitive operation—even when wearing gloves. Suitable for producing items such as phone covers, mugs, mouse mats, t-shirts and cushions, the SC-F500 fits compact workspaces with dimensions of approximately 970 × 811 × 245 mm and weighs around 29 kg. It offers wired (USB 3.0, Ethernet) as well as wireless connectivity and is supplied with a maintenance box, ink set, setup guide and software (on CD). Operating on AC 100–240 V power, it consumes around 22 W during operation. A one-year on-site warranty is included, with options to extend via CoverPlus. Launched in October 2019, the SC-F500 is part of Epson’s end-to-end printing ecosystem, offering coordinated inks, software and paper to support efficient dye-sublimation workflows.
