Epson expands business inkjet offerings
May 25, 2018
Two new series of WorkForce Pro MFPs and printers for busy offices have been announced by Epson.
These new releases bring the OEM’s signature inkjet technology, with low environmental impact, low intervention and high productivity, to small workgroups wanting both A3 and A4 capability.
The WF-C8690, WF-C8610 and WF-C8190 deliver improved performance for A3 printing in this segment, while the WF-M5799DWF, WF-M5299DW and WF-M5298DW deliver fast, reliable and high-yield A4 mono printing with a low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Umardeep Sappal, Product Manager, Epson Europe, says: “These laser-beating inkjet printers save money, energy and time, and are packed full of business productivity and document management features. Designed specifically to reduce environmental impact, cut intervention and streamline workflow, all the while keeping cost-saving at the heart of what they do. The low intervention and environmental benefits make these devices ideal for specialist verticals too, such as education, healthcare, public admin and retail, to meet both their print and CSR needs.”
For business customers looking to have A3 capability in their printing, but not requiring the very-high print yield of Epson’s Enterprise or RIPS devices, the WF-C8000 series is ideal, Epson explains. As well as delivering everyday A4 documents with a First Page Out Time (FPOT) of 5.5 seconds, it also opens up a range of uses for A3 documents, such as in-house leaflets, brochure drafts for proofreading, Excel spreadsheets, construction site plans, worksheets for classrooms, booklets and much more.
Equally, according to Epson, the WF-M5000 series meet the demands of businesses where a robust mono printing solution is required with a competitive TCO for use in small workgroups with a high print volume. Its ink yield of up to 40,000 pages – the highest in its segment – helps to deliver this low TCO, while offering minimal user intervention. This not only boosts productivity, but its non-heat and non-contact printing process also allows for extensive media flexibility.
Printing with these models uses at least 90 percent less energy than comparable laser models, helping to reduce environmental impact and lowering users’ energy bills, as Epson explained in its recently published Sustainability Report. Simultaneously, these printers manage to deliver a first page out time of 4.8 seconds, faster than comparable laser models.
Built especially for business, both series offer software and tools that meet the needs of different users. Tools and software such as Epson Print Admin, Document Capture Pro and Epson Device Admin, add additional functionality – more than just print and scan. Epson Open Platform and the OEM’s work with ISVs add extra solutions, such as PaperCut print management software.
