For businesses looking to manage operating expenses, everyday printing may be an overlooked opportunity for savings. Beyond the initial cost of a printer, energy consumption, ink usage, and maintenance requirements can influence long-term expenses. Epson Philippines Corporation is highlighting how its Heat-Free Technology and low cost per page printing solutions can help organizations improve operational efficiency while supporting sustainability goals.
“Businesses should not have to choose between operating more efficiently and reducing their environmental impact. We believe the strongest sustainability solutions are those that also make good business sense,” said Noelle Gonzalez, Head of Marketing at Epson Philippines Corporation.
Reducing Energy Use With Heat-Free Technology
Unlike conventional laser printers, which use heat to bond toner to paper, Epson’s PrecisionCore Heat-Free Technology uses piezoelectric technology to eject ink without applying heat during the ink ejection process.
According to Epson’s published comparisons, applicable Heat-Free models can use up to 85% less power and require up to 59% fewer replacement parts than comparable laser printers. These differences can help businesses reduce electricity consumption and maintenance requirements, although actual results vary depending on the printer model, print volume, settings, and operating conditions.
For organizations with frequent printing needs, these factors can contribute to more efficient daily operations while reducing resource consumption.
Understanding The Cost Of Every Page
Ink expenses are another important consideration when evaluating printing costs. Epson’s business copier portfolio includes the WorkForce Pro EM-C8100 and EM-C8101, with estimated ink costs of ₱0.75 per color page and ₱0.23 per black page. The WorkForce Enterprise AM-M5500 has an estimated cost of ₱0.18 per black page.
These figures are calculated using the suggested retail prices of the relevant ink supplies and their ISO page yields. They represent estimated ink costs per ISO page and exclude paper, electricity, maintenance, replacement parts, and the printer’s purchase price. Actual ink yields may vary depending on print content, settings, and usage.
Even small per-page savings can add up for businesses producing hundreds or thousands of pages regularly. Evaluating these recurring expenses alongside the initial hardware investment provides a more complete picture of a printer’s long-term cost.
Making Printing Decisions With Long-Term Value
To help organizations better understand their printing expenses, Epson offers a free print cost assessment. An Epson specialist reviews an organization’s existing printer fleet and operating costs, including ink, energy, maintenance, and replacement requirements, then estimates potential savings from switching to an eligible high-yield, Heat-Free printing solution.
The WorkForce Pro EM-C8100, EM-C8101, and WorkForce Enterprise AM-M5500 are available through authorized Epson Philippines dealers and partners nationwide.
