The printer’s 4.3-inch color touchscreen includes guided workflows for common substrates. Pricing is $1,099, including a starter ink set. Refill cartridges cost $35 each and yield 400 full-coverage prints. The WF-D700S also supports printing on sublimation paper up to 300gsm.
Brother offers a free one-year subscription to their Design&Print software, which includes 5,000+ templates for gifts and apparel.

Brother’s proprietary ink formulation produces minimal residue on heat press platens, reducing cleaning frequency.
