Epson Malaysia released the SureColor SC-F330, its first A3 desktop dye-sublimation printer locally, at RM4,100 via authorised Epson stores, Shopee and Lazada, with Epson CoverPlus able to extend the one-year warranty by up to four years. It uses a PrecisionCore MicroTFP printhead with UltraChrome DS CMYK ink in 140ml refillable bottles, prints A4 in 72 seconds and A3 in 118 seconds at up to 600 x 1,200 resolution, and supports cut sheets from 89mm to 297mm wide with no roll paper support. It also has a 2.7-inch colour touchscreen, front and rear cassettes, and native AirPrint and Mopria for printing from iOS and Android devices.

Why: This is a hardware purchase decision for merchandise and small-batch print micro-businesses, not something most developers, AI/ML learners or SaaS founders need to act on. If you do run a print-on-demand or custom apparel side business in Malaysia, the concrete numbers to weigh are RM4,100 upfront, no roll paper support (cut sheets only, up to A3), 118 seconds per A3 print, and 140ml ink bottles — the cut-sheet-only limit is the detail most likely to rule it out for higher-volume workflows.
