The benefits of
Heat-Free Technology

Epson inkjet printers use Heat-Free Technology to deliver

advanced customer benefits.

Consistent high-speed printing

Epson Heat-Free Technology requires no heat to warm up when it is switched on or
awoken from sleep. This means it starts printing immediately compared to laser printers,
which need to preheat the fuser to print. Consistent high-speed printing is ensured, even
for documents with high-printing density.

Less power consumption saves energy and money

Epson Heat-Free Technology uses less power than laser technology because it does not
use heat to warm up. As inkjets have no fuser unit to heat, this results in significantly less
energy consumption.

Fewer replacement parts, lower environmental impact

Laser printers typically have more consumables and require periodic replacement of the
drum, transfer belt and fuser in many cases. Thanks to Heat-Free Technology, our inkjet
printers use fewer parts that need replacing than in a laser printer, and our printheads are
not a consumable. This reduces the environmental burden of manufacturing and recycling
the additional resources.

Less intervention increases productivity

The Heat-Free structure of Epson inkjet printers means that there are fewer parts that can
fail, which reduces the amount of intervention required. As a result, Epson inkjet printers
offer improved reliability and significantly reduced downtime.

Eco-responsible,
uninterrupted printing

Eliminate traditional printer frustrations with the latest WorkForce Pro RIPS
business printers. The Replaceable Ink Pack System (RIPS) technology uses
super-high yield ink supply bags so there is less need for user intervention. With
fewer consumables than comparable lasers, waste is also lower, and service
interruptions are kept to a minimum.

Epson inkjet versus competitor laser waste

This is the amount of consumables waste produced by a typical laser versus the
amount of consumables required by an equivalent Epson inkjet device over 5
years3 (assuming 2,100 monthly print volume: 1,500 mono, 600 colour).
