Epson Unveils Eco-Friendly Printers in South Korea for Sustainability

Epson Korea recently debuted its line of environmentally-friendly printers. The machines are multi-functional and designed for businesses in the country.

The Korea Times reported that the new Epson printers are eco-friendly because they use less electricity and discharge less carbon dioxide. It also features an enhanced maintenance performance for efficient printing in offices and other workplaces.

Epson Korea launched three inkjet printers, and these are the AM-C4000, AM-C5000, and AM-6000 models. These multifunction printing machines greatly reduce harm to the environment as they are equipped with heat-free technology, which is an exclusive feature created by Epson. This means that the device will print without the application of heat during the process, which is common in printers.

Depending on the model, the new line of printers can print 40, 50, and 60 pages per minute. Moreover, in comparison with laser printers, the new technology installed in the Epson printers can lower the annual power consumption and carbon emissions by up to 77%. They also minimize the requirement for parts replacement because of their simpler design.

Meanwhile, with the release of eco-friendly printers in S. Korea, Epson is also celebrating “World Environment Day” by promoting less energy consumption. The company announced it has started the #MakeTheSwitch campaign for sustainability and fulfilling its role in helping keep the global environment healthy.

"Making a positive impact on the environment doesn't always have to be on a grand scale, and we want to help people realize that saving energy can be small, easy steps that will make a big difference," Epson America’s chief legal and sustainability officer, Kendra Jones, said in a press release "The #MakeTheSwitch global movement empowers people to make choices promoting sustainability, and Epson is not only making that commitment as individuals, but also as a company."
