There is no doubt that the recent months have changed the way we live and work, especially with social distancing practices. Epson has seen a strong demand for technology to help support new hybrid work and learning environments. The Middle East market is now looking for technology that helps remote workers and students stay connected, as well as being flexible, cost-effective and eco-friendly.
Epson’s heat-free business inkjet technology enables its printer range to reduce energy consumption by up 95% compared to laser printers – reducing both cost and CO2 emissions. The lack of heat also means there is no warmup time needed, ensuring fast first page-out speeds and improving productivity. Fewer consumable parts mean less user intervention and fewer used consumables to store and dispose of.
Printing at home is now more important than ever before. Epson’s EcoTank printers are cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to the traditional ink cartridge printers. EcoTank printers come with up to three years’ worth of ink in the box, which is enough to print up to 14,000 pages.
Epson solutions can enable schools and universities to deliver the best possible education for in-person, remote and hybrid learning.
