Epson SureColor F2270 DTG & DTF Hybrid Printer — Standard Edition
The Epson SureColor F2270 is the most versatile garment printer Epson has ever built. Purpose-engineered as a true hybrid for both direct-to-garment (DTG) printing and direct-to-film (DTFilm) transfer production, the F2270 lets apparel decorators, screen-print shops, and custom merchandise businesses run two production methods from a single machine — without compromising on speed, quality, or operating cost.
Featuring the new PrecisionCore MicroTFP printhead with Nozzle Verification Technology, next-generation UltraChrome DG2 ink in 800mL bulk packs, automatic garment thickness adjustment, and Epson’s Garment Creator 2 software with integrated DTG-to-DTFilm mode toggling, the F2270 delivers up to 20% faster print speeds on dark garments compared to the previous F2200 — with significantly improved white ink opacity, smoother gradients, and richer color saturation.
Why the F2270 Is the Best Hybrid DTG/DTFilm Printer for Growing Apparel Shops
Most apparel printing operations face the same problem: DTG printing is great for cotton and complex multi-color designs, but limited to flat garments. DTFilm printing handles hats, bags, koozies, hoodies with thick zippers, jacket sleeves, and other awkward shapes — but until now required a completely separate printer, separate inks, and separate workflow training.
The F2270 solves this by handling both methods in one machine. Switch from DTG mode (printing direct on a t-shirt) to DTFilm mode (printing on transfer film for later heat-press application) through Epson Garment Creator 2 software with one workflow change. Same printer. Same ink. Same operator. Two profit streams.
What’s New: F2270 vs F2200 Improvements
- Up to 20% faster print speeds on dark garments compared to F2200
- UltraChrome DG2 ink with improved white opacity, brighter orange/mid-tone saturation, and OEKO-TEX ECO PASSPORT + GOTS certifications
- 800mL bulk ink packs (vs 600mL on F2200) reduce ink replacement frequency
- Automatic garment thickness adjustment with multi-sensor scanning
- Nozzle Verification Technology built into the PrecisionCore MicroTFP printhead
- Native DTFilm mode — F2200 required workarounds; F2270 has Epson-supported DTFilm capability
- Epson Cloud Solution PORT integration for multi-printer fleet management

Cost Per Print Estimates
For business planning purposes, F2270 print costs typically fall in these ranges (varies by design coverage, ink consumption, and substrate):
- Light garment DTG print (cotton tee): approx. $0.40–$0.80 per print
- Dark garment DTG print (white underbase + color): approx. $1.20–$2.50 per print
- DTFilm transfer (full-color, average size): approx. $0.60–$1.50 per transfer
Real per-print costs depend on design complexity, ink coverage, white ink usage, pretreatment costs, and overhead allocation. Contact our team for a detailed cost analysis based on your production mix.

The SureColor F-series is Epson’s professional garment printing line, with the F2270 representing the latest generation of hybrid technology — combining everything Epson has learned from previous models (F2000, F2100, F2200) with new DG2 ink chemistry, faster printheads, and native DTFilm support.

- Kern DPH-02 Pyramid Holographic DTF Film — multi-dimensional 3D pyramid refractive coating
What is the difference between Epson SureColor F2270 and F2200?
The F2270 is the next-generation replacement for the F2200, with three major upgrades. First, it features a new PrecisionCore MicroTFP printhead with Nozzle Verification Technology that delivers up to 20% faster speeds on dark garments. Second, it uses next-generation UltraChrome DG2 ink in 800mL bulk packs (vs 600mL on F2200), with improved white opacity and richer color saturation. Third, the F2270 has native DTFilm (Direct-to-Film) printing capability built-in, while the F2200 was DTG-only. The F2270 also adds automatic garment thickness adjustment, OEKO-TEX ECO PASSPORT and GOTS certifications, and Epson Cloud Solution PORT integration.
Can the Epson F2270 print on hats, koozies, and uniquely shaped items?
Yes — through DTFilm mode. While DTG mode requires flat garments on the platen, DTFilm mode lets you print transfers onto release film that you can then heat-press onto curved or uniquely shaped items including hats, caps, koozies, drinkware sleeves, jacket sleeves, zippered hoodies, sports jerseys, backpacks, footwear, and other shapes that won’t fit on a flat DTG platen. This dual capability is the F2270’s biggest advantage over DTG-only printers.
What ink does the Epson F2270 use?
The F2270 uses Epson UltraChrome DG2 ink — Epson’s next-generation textile ink — in 5-color CMYK + White configuration. Ink ships in 800mL cartridge-free bulk ink packs that reduce replacement frequency vs the older 600mL F2200 packs. UltraChrome DG2 is OEKO-TEX ECO PASSPORT and GOTS certified for eco-friendly garment printing. Note that the F2270 uses different ink SKUs than the F2200 and F2100 — confirm exact part numbers with your Buffalo Imaging rep before ordering supplies.
Is the Epson F2270 a DTG or DTF printer?
Both. The F2270 is a true hybrid printer purpose-built for both Direct-to-Garment (DTG) and Direct-to-Film (DTFilm) printing from one machine. You can print directly on cotton tees, hoodies, and blends in DTG mode, or switch to DTFilm mode through Epson Garment Creator 2 software to produce transfers for hats, koozies, and uniquely shaped items. Same printer, same ink, same workflow toggle. This is why Epson positions it as a hybrid printer rather than a pure DTG or pure DTF printer.
What software comes with the Epson F2270?
The F2270 includes Epson Garment Creator 2 software with full DTG and DTFilm workflow support, color management, and easy mode toggling. Epson Cloud Solution PORT integration is also included for fleet-level visibility across multiple printers. Third-party RIP software including CADlink Digital Factory Apparel, Wasatch SoftRIP TX, and Onyx ProductionHouse are also compatible if you need advanced color management or enterprise-grade RIP features.
What is the maximum print area on the Epson F2270?
The F2270 ships with a standard 16×20-inch platen, which handles full-size adult t-shirt prints, hoodies, and most garment formats. Optional specialty platens are available for hats, sleeves, small items, and other shapes — contact Buffalo Imaging for current accessory options and pricing.
What fabrics work with the Epson F2270?
For DTG mode: 100% cotton, cotton-polyester blends up to 50/50, and most natural fiber garments (with proper pretreatment for dark garments). For DTFilm mode: virtually any fabric including 100% polyester, nylon, lycra/spandex, blended athletic fabrics, leather, denim, and most synthetic textiles. The DTFilm capability dramatically expands what fabrics the F2270 can decorate vs DTG-only printers, which struggle with high-polyester athletic apparel.
Does the Epson F2270 require pretreatment?
For DTG mode on dark garments — yes. Pretreatment is required to ensure the white underbase ink adheres properly and produces opaque prints on dark fabrics. Light garments often don’t require pretreatment but quality is generally better when pretreatment is applied. For DTFilm mode — no pretreatment is needed because the design is printed onto transfer film with adhesive powder and heat-pressed onto the garment. This is one operational advantage of DTFilm mode for high-volume shops looking to skip the pretreatment step.
What’s the warranty on the Epson F2270?
The F2270 includes Epson’s standard 1-year manufacturer warranty. Extended Epson Preferred Plus service plans with next-business-day on-site repair coverage are available in 1-year, 2-year, 3-year, and 4-year terms — best purchased at time of hardware purchase for lowest pricing. Buffalo Imaging can quote extended service plans alongside your printer order.
Is Buffalo Imaging an authorized Epson dealer?
Yes. Buffalo Imaging is an authorized Epson dealer carrying the full SureColor F-series lineup including the F2270, F570, F170, V4000, and other professional Epson printers. All equipment ships with full Epson manufacturer warranty, genuine UltraChrome DG2 ink, and direct dealer support. Buffalo Imaging has supported professional print shops, apparel decorators, and commercial graphics businesses since 1989.
What’s the cost per print on the Epson F2270?
Cost per print varies by design coverage and substrate, but typical estimates: light garment DTG print runs approximately $0.40-$0.80 per print; dark garment DTG print (with white underbase) runs approximately $1.20-$2.50 per print; DTFilm transfers run approximately $0.60-$1.50 per transfer. These ranges depend on design complexity, ink coverage, white ink usage, pretreatment costs, and your overhead allocation. For a detailed cost analysis based on your specific production mix, contact our team — we can model real ROI based on your business plan.

This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product page 
Having both DTG and DTFilm capabilities gives us more options for customer orders. The touchscreen is straightforward, maintenance is manageable, and the printer delivers professional-quality results.
We upgraded to the F2270 for faster production and have been impressed with the results. Prints come out clean and consistent, and the bulk ink system is convenient for regular use.
The F2270 produces sharp details and vibrant colors, even on dark garments. Loading shirts is simple, and the automatic height adjustment makes the workflow much easier.
