Get the Epson SureColor F570 if:
- You need 24 in wide or long roll prints.
- You want ink bottles and an automatic cutter.
- You have the floor or bench space.
The short answer
Our overall pick for most desks: the Sawgrass SG1000. Pick the Epson F570 only if you need prints wider than 13 in.
24 in wide prints from a roll? F570
Smaller printer, longer warranty? SG1000
These sit at different sizes. The F570 is a 24 in roll-and-sheet printer with an automatic cutter and 140 mL ink bottles, about 38 in wide. The SG1000 prints 11 x 17 in from its tray (13 x 19 in with the optional bypass tray), uses 31 mL or 70 mL cartridges, is 21 in wide, and carries a 3-year or 100,000-print warranty against Epson’s 1 year. For most desktop setups the SG1000 is the simpler fit.

Full Epson SureColor F570 review
- You print wider than 13 in: it takes 24 in roll and sheet media, with a built-in rotary cutter.
- You want refillable 140 mL ink bottles instead of cartridges.
- You have room for a 38 in wide printer that weighs 64 lb (29 kg) without a stand.
The Amazon listing we found is a dealer bundle with an ink set, sold and shipped by a third-party seller (JPPlus). Its details show model SCF571 while the title says SCF570, and it doesn’t say standard or Pro, so check the model and what’s included.

Pick the Sawgrass SG1000 if
- Your prints fit 11 x 17 in, or 13 x 19 in with the optional bypass tray.
- You want the 3-year or 100,000-print warranty (purchases on or after Oct 1, 2025).
- You want USB, Ethernet and Wi-Fi, and a 21 in wide, about 33 lb printer.
The Amazon listing is the SG1000 bundle with 31 mL inks and paper, model SG1000 (110/120 V), sold by Sawgrass Technologies. The listing contradicts itself on warranty (3 years in the title, 2 in the bullets); Sawgrass’s FAQ says 3 years or 100,000 prints for purchases on or after Oct 1, 2025.
See the SG1000 on AmazonBefore you buy: The only F570 Amazon listing we found is a third-party dealer bundle with mixed model numbers (SCF570 in the title, SCF571 in the details), so it gets a text link, not a button. Epson sells a standard F570 and an F570 Pro; this page uses standard-model specs where they differ. Neither maker publishes an ink yield. Listings change, so check the model, seller and contents before you order.

The F570 wins on print width, the cutter and ink capacity. The SG1000 wins on size, weight and warranty. Print speed, ink cost per print and connections can’t be compared from the makers’ data.
A green check marks the clearly better spec for most people. No check means a tie, a gap that depends on how you work, or a spec marked Unknown. Figures come from Epson and Sawgrass spec sheets and FAQs; dealer and Amazon-only facts are labeled.

Spec notes and unknowns
- F570 print speed, full interface list and ink yield: Unknown. SG1000 ink yield: Unknown.
- F570 OS support: Epson’s standard F570 page shows an older list (macOS 10.7 to 10.13, Windows XP to 10), and epson.com was down when we checked, so confirm current support with Epson. SG1000 needs Windows 8 or macOS 10.13 or later and internet at install.
- Epson T49M ink: designed for Epson bottles only; shelf life 2 years from production or 6 months after opening.
- SG1000 200-sheet tray and power figures come from a dealer spec sheet, not Sawgrass directly.
- Epson’s 1-year warranty: the standard page says next-business-day on-site repair; the Pro sheet says whole-unit exchange.
Where the sources disagree
- F570 weight: the standard F570 page says 84 lb (38 kg) without stand; the F570 Pro sheet says 64 lb without stand and 84 lb with stand. We use 64 lb without stand.
- F570 ink in the box: the F570 Pro ships two full sets of 140 mL bottles; the standard F570 sheet says 100 mL each color. Check what your SKU or bundle includes.
- F570 Amazon listing: model SCF571 in the details, SCF570 in the title. Its “1 ppm” speed field isn’t meaningful.
- SG1000 resolution: Sawgrass’s brochure says 4,880 x 1,200 dpi; some dealers print 4,800 x 1,200.
- SG1000 tray: a dealer spec sheet says 200 sheets; Amazon says 100 (Amazon only).
- SG1000 warranty on Amazon: 3 years in the title, 2 in the bullets. Sawgrass’s FAQ says 3 years or 100,000 prints for purchases on or after Oct 1, 2025, 2 years before.
What it can do
Common sublimation jobs, judged only from the makers’ media sizes, cutter and connection specs.
- Can do the maker’s specs cover it
- Just barely possible, with a limit or add-on the maker states
- Can’t the maker’s specs rule it out or don’t list it
