Epson launched the WorkForce Pro WF-C869R, a new Replaceable Ink Pack System (RIPS) printer last month. The printer delivers high-speed and high-quality printing while drastically reducing printing costs with its high capacity ink packs for businesses.

The high page yields and extremely low cost per page of the WF-C869R can help businesses significantly minimise running costs when compared against a laser printer. The replaceable ink packs offer the option of standard ink packs that deliver uninterrupted printing of up to 22,500 pages in black and 22,000 pages in colour, as well as larger packs that printing up to 86,000 pages in black and 84,000 pages in colour.

The WF-C869R is equipped with Epson’s PrecisionCore technology to print at fast print speeds of up to 35ppm for both black and colour prints, at 4,800 x 1,200 dpi resolution prints for special media and 600 x 600 dpi for standard prints. As the PrecisionCore printhead does not use heat to print, the WF- C869R has no need for warming up time and has a first-page-out time of 6 seconds.

The WorkForce Pro WF-C869R uses fewer consumables and has packaging waste compared to laser printers, which help to maintain office productivity with less printer maintenance and downtime. The ultra long-life consumables of the WF-C869R only require periodic replacement and consist of the ink packs, maintenance box and paper pick-up rollers, compared to the laser printer consumable requirements, comprising toner cartridges, photoreceptor, waste toner box, transfer units and fusing units.

“The new WF-C869R brings a new level of productivity and cost efficiency to our customers,” said Tan May Lin, Epson Singapore’s GM (Sales, Marketing & Customer Service Division). “The RIPS printer continues to surpass laser printers in terms of environmental impact and cost savings it brings, as well as the overall total cost of ownership with the minimal maintenance it needs. Businesses can look to lower operational costs and enjoy high quality inkjet printing with the new Replaceable Ink Pack System printer.”
