Epson B-510DN Business Color Ink Jet Printer Receives “Outstanding Achievement in Value” Award from Buyers Lab

Friday 22. October 2010 - The Epson B-510DN business color ink jet printer has been awarded the Summer 2010 Buyers Lab (BLI) "Outstanding Achievement Award in Value," due to its low cost per page. The B-510DN is designed for workgroups and small to medium size businesses, providing high-volume color network printing with exceptional performance, reliability and productivity.

After subjecting the Epson B-510DN to its extensive in-house testing, BLI found this printer to offer the lowest cost per page of any desktop inkjet printer tested to date.

“What we found most noteworthy is the overall value the B-510DN represents to users,” said Marlene Orr, senior printer analyst, BLI. “The supplies cost per page is more than 50 percent lower than the average tested inkjet printer; and a five-year lifecycle analysis shows that users can save up to $1,800 over some competitive models tested (assuming an average monthly print volume of 1,000 pages). It is for these reasons it truly deserves the value award.”

The Epson B-510DN delivers high operational cost savings with ink costs as low as 4 cents per color page1, when using the highest capacity ink cartridges available for the printer (based on cartridge MSRP divided by ISO page yield). The B-510DN offers high-volume, uninterrupted color printing, with a high-capacity, front-loading paper tray that can accommodate up to 500 letter or legal size sheets, as well as a built-in duplexer for double-sided printing. It also provides high print productivity with speed of 19 black/18 color ISO ppm2 and a monthly duty cycle of 20,000 pages (4,000 pages recommended)3. BLI reported in their two-month lab evaluation of the printer that it gave a very good overall performance, completing a 10,000 impression durability test without a single misfeed and no service required.

“We developed the B-510DN to excel in economical printing without compromising performance, and so we are naturally thrilled for being recognized as the most valuable printer,” said Anna Jen, director of new business development for Epson America, Inc. “As BLI has proven, the B-510DN is the perfect choice for businesses that need affordable and reliable color printing.”
