PRECISIONCORE TECHNOLOGY

Introducing heat-free PrecisionCore, the next generation of printing technology. From professional and industrial-level printers to your desktop inkjet, this groundbreaking technology delivers fast printing with superior quality results. A truly innovative system, heat-free PrecisionCore features Epson's advanced thin-film piezoelectric (TFP) elements, which are produced via the MEMS manufacturing process, based on semiconductor micro-fabrication techniques. At the core of this proprietary technology is the PrecisionCore MicroTFP print chip, a digital chip that does not use heat to eject ink and prints at the micron level — 1/100th the size of a human hair. It's this extraordinary focus on accuracy and detail that enables PrecisionCore to deliver revolutionary results, and no heat also means less power consumption, fewer consumables and less intervention, which saves you time and money.

Fast and versatile

The unit delivers a fast page out time of 4.8 seconds and zero second warm up time. Print up to 40,000 pages without changing supplies with the largest ink yield in this segment1. A paper capacity of up to 1,830 sheets with a 250-sheet main tray means less time spent refilling. A simple paper path and non-contact printing allows it to print on a wide range of media including recycled paper, glossy media, envelopes and labels.

Built for business

Perfect for small workgroups with a high print volume, typically within larger organisations where a robust mono printing solution is demanded. A range of software and tools provide secure print options, efficient scanning and help manage devices remotely. Printing from mobile devices is also supported. And with its smartphone inspired user interface and touchscreen, it's intuitive to operate.

Energy saving and CSR

Benefit from significantly fewer consumables due to its high yield and inkjet technology. The energy used while printing is at least 85% less than comparable laser models5, helping to cut your energy bills and boost your CSR. In most cases the energy used by a laser printer, while in "Ready" mode, still uses more energy than an Epson device while printing.

The ultimate in wireless and network printing

Using the WorkForce Pro Mono devices has never been easier — whether in the office, on the road or even across the globe. Connect to your wireless network in a snap — even the latest Wi-Fi standard, 802.11 n is supported. No network? No problem. Wi-Fi Direct means no router is required4 enabling users to easily connect to wireless networks in seconds, allowing printing from virtually any room in the office.

Wired networking

Built-in Ethernet makes sharing the printer on a network quick and easy.

Productivity anytime, anywhere

Easily print from your tablet or smartphone using Epson Connect. Supports Android, Apple iPad and iPhone, Chromebook, Mac and Windows devices. Wirelessly print documents, photos, emails and web pages whether at the office or on the go. You can also scan documents and save them to the cloud for easy access and collaboration.

Print from your iPad or iPhone

Apple AirPrint makes it simple to print emails, photos, web pages and documents straight from your iPad or iPhone. There's no software to download, no drivers to install and no cables to connect. Your Apple device will automatically connect to the printer.

Fast print speeds

Heat-free PrecisionCore technology ensures each nozzle on the printhead delivers up to 50,000 droplets per second. The result? Fast print speeds that rival those of more expensive lasers. The WorkForce Pro WF-M5899 delivers professional quality, two-sided prints at super-fast print speeds, making it easy to increase productivity, without compromising quality. Featuring print speeds of up to 25 ppm2 (mono) any project can be handled with speed and ease.

Ultra-efficient paper handling

The WorkForce Pro WF-M5899 boasts a total input capacity of 330 sheets, including an 80-page rear tray for envelopes, labels and specialty media for efficient paper handling. Additionally, the two-sided Automatic Document Feeder will copy and scan one- and two-sided originals. Three optional 500 sheet paper trays are available to increase paper capacity to 1,830 pages if required.

Smart touch panel

The WorkForce Pro WF-M5899 features a large, intuitive touch panel for quick and easy navigation through critical tasks. Smart and simple icons make any task easy by saving an often-used, repetitive task (copy, scan, email or fax) as an easy to see, easy to use pre-set on the operator panel.

Convenient scanning features

The WorkForce Pro WF-C5890 can scan and save electronic copies of printed reports and change these scans into searchable PDFs. To enable scanning to MS-Office functionality, a license needs to be purchased from Epson. The wireless connection enables the user to select a computer to send a file to the printer's USB port allowing files to be uploaded straight to the PC.

Change supplies less often

With the extra-large, high capacity replacement XL black ink supply, users can print up to 40,000 pages without changing the ink pack. Also available is a 10,000 page ink supply bag to suit lower monthly print volumes.

 

1 The device ships with an initial ink starter pack. Replacement ink packs last up to 40,000 pages for mono. Yields will vary according to page coverage, device usage and other factors. Page yields for monochrome inkjet printers are based on the ISO/IEC 24711 standard using the ISO/IEC 19752 pattern. See https://www.epson.com.au/ink-yield/ for more information on the calculation of document yields.

2 Black print speeds are measured in accordance with ISO/IEC 24734. Actual print times will vary based on system configuration, software, and page complexity. See https://www.epson.com.au/printspeed/ for details.

3 Not all paper types are supported under PCL mode.

4 Wi-Fi performance may vary subject to the range of the router being used. Wi-Fi Direct may require printer software.

5 Epson PrecisionCore devices do not use a fuser nor heat in the printing process, as a result are up to 85% more energy efficient compared with laser printers. No fuser also eliminates the need to warm-up, saving up to 30 seconds in actual print time from sleep mode. Testing was commissioned by Epson to Keypoint Intelligence-Buyers Lab. Two comparison models were selected from colour laser multi-function printers in the 65-70 ppm class. Tests were conducted at the devices' default settings using Keypoint Intelligence-Buyers Lab standard energy consumption test methods. Calculations were based on a weekday workload of 2 x 4 hours printing + 16 hours in sleep/standby mode, and weekend energy use of 48 hours in sleep/standby mode. A total of 69 pages of workload test pattern .doc, .xls, .ppt, .html, and Outlook files were printed 6 times in each 4-hour printing period.
