PRECISIONCORE INKJET TECHNOLOGY
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.

Change Cartridges Less Often
Save up to 50% lower printing costs than colour lasers. With the extra-large, high capacity 802XL cartridges, users can print more than four reams of paper at a time before changing cartridges5. Utilising the 802XL cartridges, the WorkForce Pro WF-4720 achieves a yield of approximately 2600 pages in black and 1900 in colour.
Alternatively, for users with lower print volume requirements, the 802 cartridges can achieve a yield of approximately 900 pages in black and 650 in colour.
Replace only the colour you need with affordable, individual ink cartridges.

Consumables
Warning to Epson printer owners. Many well known third party companies claim their inkjet printing papers are compatible with all Epson inkjet printers. Epson has reports from many customers who have used third party paper and have been very disappointed with the results. When the same customers have changed to genuine Epson paper, they have been amazed and pleased with the colour and quality of their prints. Epson recommends that you do not use any non genuine printing papers if you want to get the best results from your Epson printer. Epson printers are very carefully tuned to ensure Epson inks and Epson's patented MicroPiezo™ printhead produce the best quality prints using carefully selected Epson paper.
This printer is designed to function only with genuine Epson ink cartridges and not with third party ink cartridges. The printer may not function properly or at all if you use third party ink cartridges.
