"Epson Printing Factory" and a laser printer: break stereotypes
(For those who are not interested in the post itself, I’ll immediately provide a link to a printing cost calculator , where you can compare the cost of owning a laser and a printing factory)
In this post, we will not muddy the water, but argue on the shelves why printing on Epson Print Factory printers is actually more profitable than on a laser printer. As an example, consider black and white printing and the corresponding line of monochrome printers .
In what office do not go, almost in each you will find a laser printer, or even more than one. It is, in general, understandable: do not you put an ink jet with a self-made ink supply system in the office and risk being left without a printer at the most crucial moment? A simple and straightforward solution, usually, is buying a laser box. However, not everyone knows that printing on a laser printer is not so cheap as it might seem at first glance, and as manufacturers promise.

The main scourge of inkjet printers, until recently, was the high cost of consumables. Epson engineers analyzed the needs of the home and office printing market and came to the conclusion that the words “cartridge” and “economy”, whatever one may say, cannot be put in one row. And two years ago it was announced that a unique development was being created - a line of original printers without cartridges - the Epson Monochrome Printing Factory . The design of the device involves the use of built-in ink tanks instead of cartridges. Each container - with a volume of 140 ml. That you probably already know.
And now we will return to the topic of the post: why is printing on our “factory” all the same much cheaper than on a laser.
To speak in detail, let us immediately indicate that the starting set of consumables for the Epson Monochrome Printing Factory is enough for 11,000 prints .
Recall the resource consumables for laser printers. It's not just about the original toner cartridges, but also about refilling, because The average life of a laser printer toner is only 1000-2500 pages. And if we take into account the fact that the starting toner cartridges of most low-cost laser printers are enough for a maximum of 1000 pages, after printing which you need to buy new toner (well, don’t replenish this one several times a month when printing in the office, for example!), it becomes completely unhappy.
So it turns out that for every 1000-2000 pages printed on a laser printer, you have to either buy a new toner or refill an existing one. If you fill, then at best - a couple of times, after which you still buy a new one. So with intensive printing on lazer, each page flies in a penny.
Welcome to the printing cost calculator page, which was created by our foreign colleagues specifically, so as not to be unfounded and give everyone the opportunity to visually see that laser printing is not the ultimate dream and a serious burden on the wallet.
Due to the high resource of the starting set of consumables and the low cost of printing - 15 kopecks per page - the cost of ownership of the Epson Monochrome Printing Factory for three years is more than two times lower than that of a laser printer.
With the cost figured out, it remains to say a few words about print quality. Due to the fact that in the “Monochrome Printing Factory” pigment inks are used, which are not absorbed into the paper, but “fall” on the sheet, like laser toner, the print quality at the factory is almost identical to that of a laser printer. Moreover, the toner "fray" over time, and the pigment - no!
Currently, the Epson Monochrome Print Factory line consists of four devices: Epson M100 and Epson M105 printers, as well as Epson M200 and Epson M205 multifunction printers. Epson M105 and Epson M205 - with an option to connect with the network via Wi-Fi.
Dear Habravchane,
Due to the fact that Habrahabr.ru was divided into three resources (HabraHabr, GeekTimes and MegaMozg), Epson's blog moved to Geektimes.ru .
Looking forward to seeing you on our GT blog!
