Epson America Inc. has added four new A4 business printers to its WorkForce Pro portfolio — the WorkForce Pro ST-C5500 and ST-C5000 Supertank color MFPs, and WorkForce Pro WF-M5899 Monochrome MFP and WF-M5399 monochrome printer. With PrecisionCore Heat-Free technology, these new desktop solutions provide businesses with both functional and environmental benefits. Delivering high performance at a great value, the Supertank MFPs are ideal for retail, education and corporate environments, while the monochrome models are ideal for government, financial and legal applications.

The new WorkForce Pro Supertank Color MFPs deliver a robust feature set that better meet the needs of business users in its class. The ST-C5500 and ST-C5000 have the lowest power consumption in their classes and include high-yield ink bottles with up to two years of ink in the box, enough to print up to 12,000 pages black/8,800 pages color. Businesses can save up to 80% with replacement ink bottles — equivalent to about $.02 cents per color ISO page compared to $.14 versus color laser toner cartridges — making the new WorkForce Pro Supertank Color MFPs ideal for cost-conscious businesses.

The new monochrome models feature low power consumption and are designed to help businesses boost workflow efficiency with replacement ink packs for printing up to 40,000 ISO pages black without the need to intervene, an 1,830-sheet total capacity with three optional trays, print speeds of 25 ISO pages per minute (ppm) black with virtually no warmup time and a fast first page out.

"The four additions to the Business Printer WorkForce Pro lineup are engineered for the reliability and productivity that businesses require in a printing solution," said Madison Phillips, product manager, Epson America. "With the four WorkForce Pro printers, we are providing our partners new A4 color and monochrome options that require minimal intervention and low power consumption to help businesses stay productive and help meet their sustainability goals."

The new ST-C5500, ST-C5000 and WF-M5899 have a large 4.3-inch color touch screen for easy setup and navigation. The monochrome models are compatible with Epson Solutions Suite, which simplifies printer installation, device configuration and workflow management, and allows for remote diagnosis and operation, as well as compatibility with third-party solutions. The four new WorkForce Pro models are backed by a two-year limited warranty and world-class service and support for added peace of mind.
