Short answer: if you want an Epson-made machine for DTF on a desk, it is the SureColor F1070, $4,995, which also prints straight onto garments. The G6070 is a $14,995 production printer for shops that run rolls all day. Everything sold as an "Epson DTF printer" under $3,000 is either another brand built on an Epson head or a converted Epson photo printer.
Epson SureColor F1070: the hybrid DTG and DTF printer
The F1070 is the only Epson in our comparison. It is built for the garment first: you load a shirt on the platen and print on it, or you print the same design on film. It uses Epson's PrecisionCore Micro TFP head with nozzle verification and UltraChrome DG2 ink in 250 ml packs, and Garment Creator 2 runs on Windows and macOS. It scores 7.6/10 on our formula, last of the ranking, because the formula is written for DTF desktops: the F1070 publishes no speed in square feet an hour, its print area stops at 10 x 12 inches and it weighs 152 lb. The full F1070 review covers the warranty (one year, Epson ink only) and the service plans.
Epson SureColor G6070: a 35-inch DTF roll printer
The G6070 is a different class of machine. Epson lists it at $14,995 MSRP with a "Where to buy" button rather than a cart, a 35.4-inch print width, sealed UltraChrome DF ink packs (sold separately and needed for setup) and Fiery Digital Factory software in the box. Epson says its automated maintenance limits upkeep to a few minutes a week and that on-site service is included in the limited warranty. It is outside our comparison, which covers desktop DTF printers with a public price on a store.

An Epson head does not make an Epson printer: the warranty, the ink and the support come from the brand that sells the machine. The exception in our comparison is Procolored's own LiteHead, in the K13 series.
Converted Epsons: L1800, L805 and ET-8550
The other meaning of "Epson DTF printer" is a photo printer converted to DTF: an L1800, an L805 or an EcoTank ET-8550 with its ink swapped for DTF ink and white added. Epson sells the ET-8550 for $749.99 as a photo printer; its product page says non-genuine ink could cause damage that the limited warranty does not cover. A conversion can print, and it is cheaper up front, but you take on the risk and the support yourself. Our Epson ET-8550 DTF conversion guide explains what is involved and what it really costs.
