The fact is that InkJet printing, until very recently, has been perceived as an expensive printing technology, particularly in corporate environments, which can be characterised by high printing volumes and high levels of consumable wastage on an annual basis.
For corporate environments, the LaserJet printer has been - and remains - the printer of choice - particularly for group or departmental networked printing solutions - based purely on speed and cost per page at high volume.
Epson's new Stylus Office BX625FWD is an all-in-one (printer, scanner, copier, and fax) aimed at smaller business users who require a good mix of reliability, speed and low running costs.
With very impressive double-sided printing speeds (15ppm in black and 7ppm colour), the Stylus Office BX625FWD is the world's fastest inkjet in its category, and has a colour cost per page that's up to 50% lower than laser competitors**.
The automatic document feeder makes it easy to copy, fax and scan double-sided documents, and users can fax, print and scan over WiFi or Ethernet, which are all features that are found in larger enterprise devices that are more expensive.
The BX625FWD can print on a wide range of media, and has an easy-access, front-loading paper tray that holds up to 250 sheets of A4 plain paper for high volume printing.
Utilising Epson's DURABrite Ultra ink, the BX625FWD delivers fast-drying prints that resist water, smudging and fading, and won't mess up your highlighter pens either.
Combined with a qualification from ENERGY STAR for power efficiency and the option to install XL cartridges for high volume printing, running costs for the Epson Stylus Office BX625FWD are kept to a minimum and comparable with many business LaserJet equivalent machines.
The Epson Stylus BX625FWD is available from Mustek for a recommended retail price of R2 100.
