Epson T49M Ink Explained: One Ink for the F170 and F570

T49M, "F170 ink," and "F570 ink" aren't three different products β€” they're the same ink. T49M is the genuine Epson dye-sublimation ink series used across the entire SureColor F170 and F570 printer family, including the F570 Pro. If you've seen content elsewhere comparing them as separate options, that's a common mix-up worth clearing up before you buy.


πŸ” What T49M Actually Is

T49M is Epson's genuine dye-sublimation ink series for the SureColor F170 and F570 desktop and wide-format printers. It comes in 140ml bottles across four colors:

  • T49M120 β€” Black

  • T49M220 β€” Cyan

  • T49M320 β€” Magenta

  • T49M420 β€” Yellow

Every bottle uses Epson's auto-stop refill system for mess-free, waste-free filling β€” no funnels, no overflow.


πŸ–¨οΈ Which Printers Use T49M

The same T49M ink works across the full F170/F570 family:

  • Epson SureColor F170 (desktop dye-sublimation)

  • Epson SureColor F570 (wide-format dye-sublimation)

  • Epson SureColor F570 Pro

There's no separate "F170 ink" or "F570 ink" formulation β€” you're not choosing between different products, you're just buying T49M regardless of which of the three printers you own.


πŸ›‘οΈ Why This Matters When You're Shopping

Because T49M is the only genuine ink code for this printer family, you don't need to hunt for a printer-specific variant. What you do need to get right:

  • Genuine vs. compatible/third-party ink. Using non-Epson ink in these printers risks clogged printheads and voided warranty coverage β€” sublimation printheads are sensitive to ink chemistry in a way that makes this a real risk, not just a manufacturer scare tactic.

  • Color code, not just "T49M." You still need the right individual bottle (T49M120/220/320/420) for each color channel β€” T49M is the series name, not a single SKU.

  • Shelf life. Unopened bottles are rated for a 2-year shelf life β€” buy what you'll use within that window rather than over-stocking.


πŸ”‘ Key Takeaway

Search term What it actually refers to
"T49M ink" The ink series itself
