Bottled ink printers, one of them built for sublimation
The SureColor F170 is sold for sublimation. The EcoTank ET-2800 and ET-15000 are not.
Owners fill EcoTanks with sublimation ink, but Epson strongly recommends genuine ink. Expect to lose the warranty.
Bottled ink is the reason buyers look at Epson first.
