Epson America, Inc., a leading provider of superior performing printing solutions, bolsters its robust line of business printers with four new WorkForce() all-in-one printers – the Epson() WorkForce WF-3540, WorkForce WF-3520, WorkForce WF-2540 and WorkForce WF-2530. Building on the success of Epson’s exclusive WorkForce line, the new models continue to deliver business printing at fast speeds and high-quality, professional-looking documents. In addition, these models offer features for increased productivity and affordability including an improved user interface, multiple paper trays, automatic duplex printing/copying/scanning/faxing, and ink savings up to 40 percent less than color laser(1).
The WorkForce all-in-ones also include built-in wireless(2) and Ethernet networking to easily share among multiple computers, allowing for access to the latest in wireless technology, including the ability to print and scan from mobile devices such as an iPad(), iPhone(), tablet, or smartphone(3). With Epson Connect((TM)),( )users can conveniently print documents on-the-go, whether from their couch or across the globe.
“The Epson WorkForce WF-3540, WF-3520, WF-2540 and WF-2530 are durable, high performance all-in-ones that ensure small and home office businesses can run at full speed,” said Jennifer Liao, product manager, Consumer Ink Jets, Epson America. “Understanding that productivity and cost are critical to these customers, Epson continues to innovate the WorkForce line to deliver affordable business printing with the world’s fastest two-sided print speeds(4), robust paper handling, convenient mobile printing, and easy wireless connectivity in a sleek industrial design.”
Fast Speeds and High Performance Features in a Robust, Reliable Design
The WorkForce WF-3540 and WF-3520 offer the world’s fastest two-sided print speeds(4) – 15 ISO ppm (black) and 9.2 ISO ppm (color)(**) – and printing costs up to 40 percent lower than color laser printers(1). The two models also offer savings up to 50 percent on paper with automatic two-sided printing, scanning, copying and faxing, making them ideal for eco-conscious, high-volume small or home office use. The WorkForce WF-3540 and WF-3520 offer increased productivity features including high page capacity (500 sheets for the WF-3540; 250 for the WF-3520) and extra high capacity ink cartridges(5) for minimal user intervention. Plus, the 30-sheet duplex ADF, sturdy front paper trays, and rear paper feed accommodate a variety of paper types and stock including envelopes, card stock and other specialty media for increased versatility in paper handling.
The models also offer an improved user interface with features that allow businesses to easily navigate their printer’s wide range of features. The WorkForce WF-3540’s intuitive 3.5″ touch LCD is equipped with new gesture navigation so users can easily “swipe” through the printer menu; and the WF-3520 features a 2.5″ LCD with smooth backlit touch panel for improved visibility.
Big Savings in a Sleek, Compact Design
The Epson WorkForce WF-2540 and WF-2530 offer affordable, individual ink cartridges and an unprecedented space saving, compact design – the smallest in their class(6) – making them ideal for space-constrained workspaces in both home office and work environments. These powerful all-in-ones save time with fast speeds – 9 ISO ppm (black) and 4.7 ISO ppm (color) and a 30-sheet ADF to quickly copy scan and fax stacks of originals. The models produce laser-quality text and crisp, vibrant color business documents with instant-dry inks that are water, smudge, and fade-resistant. The WorkForce WF-2540 features a 2.5″ LCD for easy navigation and comes with both wired and built-in wireless connectivity for easy setup and sharing on a network.
