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.

Print up to 7 times more than a comparable laser¹

Most comparable laser printers will need new toner supplies every 7,000 prints¹. WorkForce Pro printers with heat-free PrecisionCore deliver outstanding results without breaking the bottom line. Users can continue to print without having to spend extra time and money at the local copy shop. Print more with high capacity ink cartridges of with a variety of ink packs such as 50,000 Black and 20,000 Colour page yields.

Fast print speeds

Heat-free PrecisionCore technology ensures each nozzle on the print head delivers up to 50,000 droplets per second. Faster print speeds that beat those of comparable lasers. The WorkForce Pro WF-C579R delivers professional quality, two-sided Colourprints at super-fast print speeds, making it easy to increase productivity, without compromising quality. Boasting drastically improved print speeds of up to 24 ISO ppm†. Any printing requirement can be handled with speed and ease.

Higher resolution vs. laser printers

Packing a greater number of nozzles into a smaller surface area, this high-resolution inkjet printhead, along with heat-free PrecisionCore technology, gives you ultra-sharp text with smooth black gradations on both plain and specialty paper. Comparing to a laser device at 600dpi, these devices will deliver a better quality of document. Perfectly suited to your customer's business printing requirements.

Ultra-efficient paper handling

With two additional trays, the WorkForce Pro WF-C579R can boast a total of 1,330 paper capacity including an 80-page rear tray for envelopes, labels and specialty media for efficient paper handling. Additionally, the WF-C579R features a two-sided Automatic Document Feeder which will copy and scan one- and two-sided originals. Standard paper capacity is 330 pages.

Extremely durable prints

Heat-free PrecisionCore technology enables the use of advanced ink formulations, DURABrite^® Ultra Ink. This innovative, pigment based ink set, along with heat-free PrecisionCore printing technology delivers smudge, fade and water resistant prints that are highlighter friendly too.

The ultimate in wireless and network printing

The WF-C579R is easy to connect — whether in the office, on the road or even across the globe. Wi-Fi Direct⁶ means no router is required 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™M, 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 collaboration⁵

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.

Save energy

The WorkForce Pro WF-C579R includes features such automatic, two-sided printing whereby users can save up to 50% on paper supply. In addition, both models save energy by using up to 87% less power⁸ than laser printers.

Change supplies less often

With the extra-large, high capacity XXL Black ink supply, users can print up to 50,000 pages without changing the ink packs. Also available are a range of other ink supply packs to suit your monthly print volume.

Specification Notes:

^*This product uses only genuine Epson-brand ink packs. Other brands of ink supplies are not compatible and, even if described as compatible, may not function properly.

^*This product is supplied with initial ink packs only for set up of the printer.

^†Black and colour print speeds are measured in accordance with ISO/IEC 24734. Actual print times will vary based on factors including system configuration, software, and page complexity. For more information, visit www.epson.com/printspeed

¹7 times more prints is comparing Epson XXL inks (50,000 pages Black / 20,000 colour) with the average highest yield toner of the top 4 highest selling MFP’s in 0-35ppm speed segment in the Australian market (Source :IDC October 2018).

²Replacement ink pack yields are estimated based on ISO/IEC 24711 test in Default Mode printing continuously. Ink pack yields vary considerably for reasons including images printed, print settings, temperature and humidity. Yields may be lower when printing infrequently. Ink is used for printing and printer maintenance, and ink has to be installed for printing. For print quality, part of the ink from the included ink packs is used for printer startup and a variable amount of ink remains in the ink pack after the "replace ink pack" signal. For details, see www.epson.com/inkinfo

³Not all media types are supported for PCL printing.

⁴Monthly duty cycle up to 50,000 is the highest duty a user could expect in a month, based on near constant operation of a device of this kind. It is not recommended that the device be run at this duty. For best device performance, run the device at the recommended duty of up to 4500 pages per month.

⁵Most features require an Internet connection to the printer, as well as an Internet - and/or email-enabled device. For a list of Epson Connect enabled printers and compatible devices and apps, visit www.epson.com/connect

⁶Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™; level of performance subject to the range of the router being used. Wi-Fi Direct may require printer software.

⁷Only printing is supported under Windows Server OS.
