The new Epson WorkForce Enterprise WF-C20590 is Epson's first high-speed linehead multi-function inkjet printer for enterprise printing, designed to offer multiple advantages over laser equivalents. Part of the revolutionary WorkForce Enterprise family, which drives productivity and energy savings of up to 75%* when copying compared to an average laser printer, businesses can expect lower electricity costs and more efficient operation with the new printer.
The WorkForce Enterprise WF-C20590 offers businesses quality, connectivity and speedy printing. With PrecisionCore Linehead technology, the WorkForce Enterprise WF-C20590 printer can print at up to 100 pages per minute (ppm) while maintaining print quality. This is one of the fastest speeds in inkjet printing possible today. The fixed print head can print at 100ppm in both simplex and duplex modes. Without a moving print head, banding is greatly minimised, and Epson says prints are laser-sharp.
The WorkForce Enterprise features a simple design that comes with low running costs and less downtime. The all-new printing mechanism consists of an electrostatic transport belt in the print pass that ensures the paper is completely flat for stable paper feeding, ensuring the smooth gradients and consistently sharp images at ultra-fast speeds.
The self-maintaining printhead monitors nozzle health and automatically detects and adjusts print
head performance, eliminating the issue of clogged ink nozzles. The printer’s DURAbrite Pro
inks deliver professional high quality prints and are fade-resistant, water-resistant and fast-
drying.
As there is no heat involved in the printing process with the PrecisionCore Thin Film Piezo
technology, printing at 100ppm uses 1.2kWh, which is less than half of a competitive laser
MFP**. Without use of heat, there is also minimal warmup time, with the first page out
faster than with laser printers.
Ultra-high capacity ink cartridges yield up to 100,000 pages in black and 50,000 pages in
colour each***, enabling uninterrupted downtime and a lower total cost of ownership and
greater cost savings. With the high yields and high volumetric efficiency, there is reduced
frequency of consumables exchange compared to toner replacements of a laser printer. The
high capacity paper feed unit with option for up to 5,350 sheets for input and paper output
capabilities of up to 4,000 with the sheet finisher unit support high volume printing.
“With the revolutionary WorkForce Enterprise printer, we are bringing high-speed, high-
productivity printers that deliver outstanding quality inkjet printing to enterprises, while
helping companies lower total cost of ownership,” said Tan May Lin, Epson Singapore’s
General Manager (Sales, Marketing & Customer Service Division). “We see inkjet as the
future of business printing and this year to be the tipping point as many more businesses
make the switch away from laser. The WorkForce Enterprise printers will be the catalyst for
this.”
The WorkForce Enterprise also lowers total cost of ownership due to having fewer moving parts
than colour lasers, resulting in fewer components required for standard maintenance and
dramatically reduced downtime as well as cost of service. For example, only a set of paper
feed rollers will need to be replaced after extended use for the inkjet printer, compared to the
multiple fuser, drums, rollers and print head parts of the laser printer.
*Taken from BLI database (February 2017), Energy Used While Copying. The Epson WorkForce WF-C20590 uses 180W while copying compared to an average A3 laser/LED MFPs capable of 55-65ppm.
**TEC values of A3 MFPs with print speed 50-55 ppm from six manufacturers based on public information from each of those companies. Published energy efficiency numbers were converted to TEC values and plotted (Epson research).
***Replacement cartridge yields are based on ISO/IEC 24711 tests in Default Mode, printing continuously.
