EpsonWorkForce Pro inkjet printers produce up to 95% less waste and use up to 82% less energy than laser printers and copiers, independent research confirms

S

chools and colleges currently using laser printers and copiers could dramatically reduce their waste, energy consumption, and noise emissions by switching to Epson WorkForce Pro inkjet printers, according to new independent tests by Buyers Laboratory LLC (BLI) commissioned by Epson.

BLI tested several WorkForce Pro models against a selection of competing colour lasers and laser copiers and found that Epson’s printers produce up to 95% or 77 kilograms less waste when printing up to 80,000 pages. Furthermore, BLI tests against a selection of competing machines showed that Epson WorkForce Pro models use up to 82% less energy than lasers and laser copiers.

“The outstanding eco features of our WorkForce Pro printers are made possible by Epson’s PrecisionCore inkjet printhead, which uses Epson’s

proprietary Micro Piezo technology,” comments Paul Steels, Director of Business Imaging, Epson Europe. “PrecisionCore printheads have the ability to accurately fire a wide variety of liquids in exactly the required quantities at varying media on demand, minimising ink waste and reducing the frequency of consumables replacement, therefore producing much less waste compared to colour lasers and copiers.”
