Leveraging renowned UltraChrome® DS ink technology, the SureColor F10070 is the first Epson printer to feature a hot-swappable ink system that automatically switches from an empty ink pack to a new ink pack mid-print for uninterrupted printing. The new ink system reduces overall ink cost by over 50 percent and allows for longer print runs without user intervention. Touting a redesigned 9-inch touch screen control panel, SureColor F10070 operators can see the image printing, monitor print, paper, and ink status, as well as understand environmental conditions for optimized print performance.

A true turnkey solution, the SureColor F10070 includes the new Epson Edge® workflow software featuring an Adobe® PostScript® 3™ engine for powerful color management and seamless workflow integration. In addition, the SureColor F10070 is one of the first Epson printers compatible with Epson’s new production-management Cloud Solution PORT, providing an operational dashboard view of a production line with cloud-based printer fleet reporting.
