Epson America Inc., a leading provider of high- performing\nprinting solutions, today announced the expansion of its corporate inkjet line head printer portfolio with the WorkForce Enterprise WF-M20590 A3 multifunction network printer, delivering monochrome prints at 100 ISO ppm\u2020<\/sup> \u2013 the fastest print speed in its class1<\/sup>. Alongside the 100 ISO ppm\u2020<\/sup> WorkForce Enterprise WF-C20590 and the 75 ISO ppm\u2020<\/sup> WorkForce Enterprise WF-C17590, the WF-M20590 was designed to offer dealers and customers a monochrome option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by PrecisionCore Line Head Technology, this network\nMFP offers high-speed, brilliant-quality output to meet the productivity and versatility needs of SMB and corporate workgroups with high print volume demands.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEpson is making great investments in R&D to enhance its\nBusiness Inkjet offerings,\u201d said Joseph Contreras, commercial marketing executive. \u201cAdding a monochrome MFP with Epson\u2019s PrecisionCore Line Head Technology is a further step toward our commitment to not only expanding our printer portfolio, but also providing professional-quality solutions for our channel partners and customers.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Product Breakdown<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The WF-M20590 delivers high-volume, monochrome printing and\nuses up to 50 percent less power than monochrome lasers1<\/sup>, keeping operating costs down. For a faster workflow and larger print jobs, the WF-M20590 features a 5,350-page maximum paper capacity2<\/sup> and an optional finisher for stacking and\nstapling. It also supports both Epson and third-party print management\nsolutions for tracking usage costs. Additionally, the network MFP offers Epson Connect, with a full suite of mobile printing capabilities3<\/sup> and scan to the cloud4<\/sup> via a user-friendly 9-inch touchscreen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scott Marsic, senior product manager for Business Imaging at\nEpson, sat down with ENX Magazine<\/em> to provide an overview of the WF-M20590. He noted that Epson came to market with an enterprise device focused on the color user and color applications, but\npointed out a lot of printed pages in the business environment\u2014including health care, education, general administrative, government and insurance\u2014have a primary focus on monochrome output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The WF-M20590 is similar to the WF-C20590 in that it offers\nthe 100 ppm output, and has virtually the same functionality that the color\ndevice has, with only subtle differences. The WF-M20590 uses a monochrome ink\ncassette that resembles the black cartridge on the color units, but the yield\nhas been boosted from 50,000 to 60,000 pages per cartridge, and Epson provides\ntwo cartridges with the printer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, the WF-M20590 has the same look and feel as its color\ncounterpart. The unit can perform at 100 ppm simplex or duplex, without\nsacrificing image quality, and features a tight paper path. Pages print cool to\nthe touch, and paper jams are easy to clear. It can handle paper sizes up to\n11×17\u201d, and users can run 13×19\u201d through the bypass. It also has most of the\noptional capabilities that are available on the color device (no faxing\noption).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an aside, the WF-M20590 can plug into a 110-volt outlet,\nmaking it unnecessary to route higher voltage to the machine. When powered on,\nthe machine doesn\u2019t require time to warm up, providing plug-and-go convenience\nthat augments its claim as the fastest speed in its class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secret Sauce<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nozzle verification technology is another selling point with\nthe WF-M20590. With the PrecisionCore Line Head Technology, Epson uses\npiezoelectric nozzles that have an in-core filament on top of the nozzle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re applying a voltage to allow ink placement onto the\nmedia,\u201d Marsic explains. \u201cWe can adjust ink placement and do a lot of cool\nthings around how ink is placed with no heat. Because we apply a voltage to all\nof those nozzles, we get feedback on whether they\u2019re firing or not. If\nsomething isn\u2019t firing, the system is able to detect the nozzle is not firing,\nand it automatically adjusts the ink placement to the surrounding nozzles. This\nprevents you from having degradation in print quality as you\u2019re running through\na job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe print head is a line head\u2014that\u2019s how we\u2019re able to get\nthese remarkable speeds. Unlike our desktop products, which have a head that\noscillates back and forth, this is a static head, so pages move through and\nwere able to give that fast print speed with very high resolution.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Epson has positioned the WF-M20590 to work with a number of\nits own and third-party solutions for embedded functionality, including some of\nthe most popular print and document management offerings. The unit can work\nwith Print Fleet, FM Audit, Y Soft, Nuance, PaperCut, Laserfiche, Square 9 and\ncountless other solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe customers and dealers are very intrigued by the value\nproposition that Epson PrecisionCore technology brings to the market,\u201d Marsic\nadded. \u201cThis is for that space that doesn\u2019t need the color functionality, but\ncan benefit from the low total cost of ownership and the low intervention.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Epson WorkForce Enterprise WF-M20590 will be available June 4 through authorized BusinessFirst Platinum dealers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
