environment, months and months before they're need replacing just reduces the hassle from an IT management perspective.” Punching above its weight Dan adds that the EM-C800RDWF and EP- C800RDW punch above their weight. “It only prints 25 pages per minute but the way most people use A4 desktop printers has always been to just print a handful of pages at any one time,” he says. “Three to four pages is the most common size print job. So not having that oven to warm up thanks to Epson’s Heat- Free technology means that the productivity is much quicker on this type of device. So even though it's only 25 pages a minute, it punches well above its weight without batting an eyelid against up to 40 page a minute printers. “Likewise, with most desktop A4 printers only printing up to 4,000 pages a month, and often lower than that, the fact that will likely require a couple of changes of supplies within its lifespan makes it attractive. There just aren't those fusers or consumables to be changed, which means it saves on packaging and delivery costs. It's just a much lighter touch.” The printers also appeal to a broad range of customers. “We’ve got them sat everywhere from cruise ships to offices, individual offices to people working from home,” says Dan. “They're

the product – through the heat-free technology and large ink capacity, as well as its reliability – should also be emphasised by partners. He adds that they are good for partners too working in managed print services as they do not have the volume of service interventions that they might find with other printers.
