Need a hand?
The whole F2270, platen out
Why Hybrid
Two methods. One Epson.
Most shops buy one machine for garment printing and a second for everything else, then pay for both twice: once at purchase, and again in floor space. The F2270 runs both jobs on one printer, one ink system and one footprint. You pick garment or film per job in Epson Garment Creator 2, and the hardware never changes.
- One footprint, two jobsTake on both jobs without clearing floor space for a second printer. One machine, 39 by 54 inches.
- Switch in softwareChange from garment to film between jobs without touching hardware. Film is a mode in Garment Creator 2.
- Full fronts out of the cartonRun adult full fronts without buying a platen first. The medium hanger platen in the box prints 14 by 16 inches.
- Quote kidswear without an argumentBid school and kids accounts with confidence. The ink is OEKO-TEX ECO PASSPORT and GOTS approved.
One Machine vs Two
What each method covers, and where one machine pays for itself.
A garment-only printer and a film-only printer each cover part of the catalog. The F2270 covers both, so the job you would have sent out, or turned down, stays on your own floor.

The Catalog
What each method puts in front of a customer.
Garment printing takes the cotton work. Film takes the polyester, the other materials and the shapes a platen cannot hold. One machine quotes all of it.
Garment
Cotton and blends
Print straight onto the tees that move most, with no transfer step. Ink runs 100% cotton to 50/50 blends.
Garment
Dark and colored garments
Quote black tees instead of passing them on. A dedicated White channel plus pre-treatment on cotton.
Film
Polyester and performance
Take on the polyester shirt work you turn down today. Film transfers press onto polyester at 284 F.
Film
Shapes a platen cannot hold
Say yes to the item a platen cannot hold. Transfers press onto materials and uniquely shaped products.

Best purchase of 2024
After thorough research and evaluation, we decided to invest in in the Epson Sure Color F2270 Hybrid DTF and DTG Printer and it has exceeded our expectations in every way. The equipment has significantly improved our production capacity and quality of the apparel we offer our clients. We had the pleasure of working with Estevan Romero through the purchase process and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish Estevan demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and an incredible dedication to understanding our unique needs.

Simply amazing!
I started my customization journey with sublimation and white toner printers, then added this beast & am so glad I did! I will continue to sublimate when possible, but the feel and speed of the DTG prints is amazing. There is no comparison between white toner prints and DTG - needless to say, I’ll be selling my white toner printer! 🤣 Extremely happy with my purchase!

The Workflow
Two paths from the same printer, start to finish.
Garment printing goes onto the shirt. Film printing goes onto a sheet you press later. Both finish on a heat press, which is required and sold separately, and film needs two press passes rather than one.
DTG, direct to garment
1
Pre-treat
Pre-treat the garment before it goes on the platen. Cotton and polyester take different formulas.
2
Load and print
Nobody sets head height by hand between garments. The printer measures thickness and adjusts itself.
3
Cure
The print is not finished until heat sets it. A heat press is required and does not come in the box.
DTF, direct to film
1
Set up for film
Film work has its own setup, and skipping it puts the printhead at risk. A platen larger than the film, grip pad off, White ink mode.
2
Print to film
Queue transfers ahead of the press so printing and pressing stop competing. Film is a mode in Garment Creator 2.
3
Powder and cure
Skip the cure and the powder does not bond, so this stage is not optional. 338 F for 150 seconds in an oven.
4
Transfer
This is the stage the customer sees, so hold the values. 338 F for 25 seconds on cotton, 284 F on polyester.
5
Fix the ink
The job is not done at the transfer. A second five second press pass fixes the ink into the media.
Before you print film
- Take the grip pad off the platen.
- Use a platen whose printable area is larger than the film.
- The sleeve platen and the medium grooved platen cannot be used.
- Select White ink mode, or the powder will not stick.
- Tape the film down with opaque tape, never transparent tape.
- No pre-treatment on the film. That is a garment step only.
- Keep powder away from the printer.
| Stage | Media | Temperature | Time | Pressure |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cure the powder, conveyor oven | Film | 338 F (170 C) | 150 seconds | n/a |
| Transfer to the garment | Cotton | 338 F (170 C) | 25 seconds | 4.2 N/cm2 |
| Transfer to the garment | Polyester | 284 F (140 C) | 25 seconds | 4.2 N/cm2 |
| Fix the ink | Cotton | 338 F (170 C) | 5 seconds | 4.2 N/cm2 |
| Fix the ink | Polyester | 284 F (140 C) | 5 seconds | 4.2 N/cm2 |
Values are a starting point. Film, powder, press and ink coverage all move them, so dial in a test sheet before a production run. An oven cures the powder; it cannot do either press stage.
Watch both modes run on the F2270.
The Rest of the Line
Transfer film
Adhesive powder
Heat press
Pre-treatment
Platens and grip pads
Ink, maintenance and coverage
What the printer does not come with.
A printer on its own does not finish a shirt. Here is the rest of the line, so you can cost the whole job before you sign for the machine rather than after.
Transfer film
Film is what carries the print, so it belongs in every job cost.
See F2270 transfer filmAdhesive powder
Powder is the glue, and it needs heat to set. Cure it at 338 F for 150 seconds before you press.
See the Seismo S20 DTF Powder StationHeat press
Nothing finishes without one, on either path. An oven cannot transfer the film and cannot fix ink.
See heat pressesPre-treatment
Garment prints need it to hold, film prints must not get it. Two formulas, one for each fabric type.
See Epson DTG UltraChrome Pretreatment LiquidPlatens and grip pads
Bigger prints need the large platen, and film work needs the grip pad off the platen completely.
See F2270 platensInk, maintenance and coverage
Six ink packs come in the box, and the reorder keeps the line moving. Plans extend coverage to 5 years.
See F2270 ink and suppliesThe printer is built for Epson genuine packs and ink, not third-party ink. A Floor Stand Table for Epson F2000/F2100/F2270/F1070 is available separately if the machine is not going onto a bench.

Coverage
On-site service, not a shipping label.
A printer you cannot keep running is a stalled production line, not an asset. The F2270 carries on-site service in its first year, and coverage can run to five years before you ever need it.
Repair at your shopA dead printer stalls the whole line, so a technician comes to your shop, usually the next business day.Next business day service depends on a request by 1 p.m. Pacific on a weekday. Geographic limits apply.
Coverage to five yearsKeep the machine covered well past year one. Epson Preferred Plus plans run to a total of five years.
A person on the phoneTalk to a person when a job is stuck. Toll free Epson telephone support runs Monday through Friday.

Before you reach out.
What comes in the box, and what do I still have to buy?
The box holds the printer, a medium hanger platen and medium grip pad, six 800 mL UltraChrome DG2 ink packs, a maintenance liquid pack and maintenance kit, the ink waste bottle with tubing and holder, the power cord and the guide kit. You still buy a heat press, which both methods need, plus pre-treatment for garment work and film, powder and a way to cure it for film work. The large platen is what takes you from 14 by 16 in to 16 by 20 in. Ask a specialist to quote the whole line with the machine, not just the printer.
When do I use garment printing, and when do I use film?
Garment printing goes straight onto cotton and blends, and the ink is optimized for 100% cotton through 50/50 polyester. Film covers what garment printing cannot reach: polyester, other materials, uniquely shaped products, and any job you would rather print now and press later. You pick between them in Garment Creator 2, per job, with no hardware change.
What does film printing actually take?
More than a mode change, which is why the workflow above spells it out. The grip pad comes off, the platen has to be larger than the film, the sleeve and medium grooved platens cannot be used, and White ink mode is mandatory or the powder will not stick. After printing, the powder cures at 338 F for 150 seconds, the transfer presses for 25 seconds, then a second five second pass fixes the ink. An oven cures powder but cannot do either press stage.
How does it connect, and is there Wi-Fi?
Hi-Speed USB 2.0 and Gigabit Ethernet. Wi-Fi is not listed, so plan for a cable. It runs Garment Creator 2 on Windows 8.1 64-bit or later and macOS 10.12 or later, works with leading third-party RIPs, prints from a USB memory device, and reports to Epson Cloud Solution PORT if you monitor a fleet.
Can I finance it?
Yes. Multiple financing options, including Affirm and Synchrony. Each lender sets its own terms at application, and the finance page carries every program. Ask a specialist to put the printer, the press and the consumables into one conversation before you choose.
What happens when it breaks?
The F2270 carries a 1 year limited warranty with on-site repair, usually the next business day, rather than a mail-in queue. Next business day depends on a service request by 1 p.m. Pacific on a weekday, and geographic limits apply. Epson Preferred Plus plans extend coverage to a total of five years, and AAPS sells the 1, 2 and 4 year plans alongside the machine.
