As Epson prepares to end its laser printer sales, Ninestar’s G&G brand expands its inkjet offering with MPS-ready compatibles for the WorkForce Enterprise range, targeting businesses adapting to the changing print landscape.
In an earlier announcement, Epson said it is preparing to stop selling laser printers by 2026, citing sustainability goals and the environmental advantages of inkjet technology. G&G, the consumables brand of Ninestar, said it has expanded its range of compatible supplies for Epson’s business inkjet models, aiming to support their customers and managed print providers during the shift.
Epson’s new strategy centres on its WorkForce Enterprise AM series of A3 and A4 multifunction devices. These machines use PrecisionCore Heat-Free Technology and are designed for mid-volume office use. Epson says they consume less power, require less maintenance and use fewer consumables, helping reduce both environmental impact and total cost of ownership.
G&G introduced its first patented compatibles for the AM-C4000, C5000 and C6000 models in 2024. This year, it added supplies for the A4 AM-C400 and C550 series. The company describes these as MPS-ready, chip-enabled products that support modern fleet management and sustainability targets.
The products are designed for real-time ink level monitoring, flexible pay-per-page billing and streamlined supply tracking to cut waste and downtime. Print quality is described as sharp and consistent, suitable for professional business use.
According to G&G, the message is clear: whether businesses are reacting to Epson’s shift or reviewing their long-term print strategy, alternatives are ready. Page yields reach up to 50,000 pages, with regional variants available for EMEA, Asia-Pacific and the Americas.
While the company does not explicitly endorse Epson’s exit from the laser market, its investment in inkjet products reflects a shared direction. As demand grows for cost-effective, sustainable print solutions, G&G is positioning itself as a key aftermarket supplier in the new inkjet-led landscape.
