Description

Epson SureColor T3170X — The Professional 24in Film-Positive Printer

The Epson SureColor T3170X combines PrecisionCore print quality, the T49H refillable ink pack system and 24-inch wide-format capability — making it a go-to printer for screen printers producing sharp, dense film positives. Paired with the right ink and RIP, it lays down the UV-blocking density you need for clean exposures. Note: this listing is for the printer on its own — it is not a bundle or package.

Why Screen Printers Use the T3170X

📐 24-inch wide format

Output large film positives and gang up multiple designs on a single sheet — handling both cut sheet and roll media.

🔄 T49H refillable ink

The T49H refillable ink pack system dramatically lowers long-term ink costs versus standard cartridges.

🖨️ PrecisionCore quality

Epson PrecisionCore technology delivers crisp detail at up to 2400 dpi — ideal for fine halftones on film.

📡 Wi-Fi + Ethernet

Connect over Wi-Fi, Ethernet or USB and drive it straight from your RIP software.

⚠️ Printer only — this is not the film-positive package
What you get: the Epson SureColor T3170X printer.
Sold separately (not included): Chromaline AccuInk T49H refillable ink, Chromaline AccuJet waterproof inkjet film, and CADlink FilmMaker RIP v10 software.

Build Your Film-Positive System

The T3170X is the printer at the heart of the setup. To print film positives, add these three items (each sold separately):

Chromaline AccuInk T49H refillable ink — formulated for the T3170X’s ink pack system for high-density, UV-blocking film.

2 · Add the film

Chromaline AccuJet waterproof inkjet film — cut sheet or roll — for sharp, opaque positives.

3 · Add the RIP

CADlink FilmMaker RIP v10 — required to drive maximum ink density and control halftones from the T3170X.
