Epson has released a range of exciting new products that can help users embrace the new normal of the COVID world yet still stay as productive and creative as ever.
The new Epson products include new printers, a short-throw projector and a photo scanner.
In a world where we need to work from home, keep our distance from co-workers if we are in the office and avoid unnecessary outside visitors, the Epson products can help all with all of that.
EPSON ECOTANK ET5800 PRINTER – $1,199
The latest edition to the popular EcoTank range, the ET5800 is an A4 wireless all-in-one printer which offers fast, cartridge-free printing with enough ink included in the box to print up to 4500 pages in mono and 2800 pages in colour.
And like all the other Epson EcoTank printers, the ET 5800 is powered by Epson’s patented PrecisionCore heat-free technology.
The printer has an ultra-low power consumption but you can still punch out fast prints of 25 black and white pages and 12 colour pages per minute with no warm-up time required and the first page out in seconds.
The Epson ET5800 has a 500-sheet paper capacity, a specialty paper feed as well as a 4.3-inch colour touchscreen to easily navigate the menu system.
Because of its fast output, people in the office won’t be crowding around the printer waiting for their job so the company can still comply with COVID practises.
And the machines are also designed for heavy duty performance which means lower maintenance so there it is less likely for you to require a visit for a service or repair.
