7 Ways Innovative Printing Gives Schools a Better Way to Print

If you feel frustrated with the printing options at your school, you're not alone. Educators across the country struggle with outdated equipment that slows them down.

There's a better way to print. Epson printers offer fast, high-quality printing options that are also budget friendly.

Here are seven ways Epson printers powered by PrecisionCore® technology are helping schools find new and improved ways of printing.

Ready to start printing as soon as you are

You wouldn't let a student ditch class for the day, so don’t let your printer get away with it either. Epson engineers printers for educators with desktop models that deliver up to 2X the reliability of competitors¹ and are backed by a 2-year limited warranty. And Epson WorkForce® Enterprise AM Series printers can produce up to 3x more pages than laser printers before needing service.²

Studies show that most students retain information presented in color better than that in black-and-white.³ With Epson Supertank printers, replacement ink bottles are actually affordable, and our WorkForce ST-C4100 Supertank printers come with enough ink to print up to 14,000 ISO pages in black and up to 11,200 ISO pages in color.⁴

Affordably captivates with color

By making color printing an affordable option, Epson printers can help you graduate from grayscale to more engaging and exciting printed materials. With Supertank printers, you can save up to 80% with low-cost replacement ink bottles, compared to standard-capacity laser toner cartridges.⁵ And the Epson Brighter Futures program offers special pricing for schools.

Budget-friendly printing

With sensitive student data on the line, security isn't optional for today's schools. That's why Epson is proud to offer printing options that support your school's security protocol. We offer a full suite of advanced security features to help protect your documents, devices, and data. You can enjoy an educational environment with full peace of mind knowing that we've got your back.

Security for your sensitive school data

Epson printers are powered by our revolutionary PrecisionCore Heat-Free technology and use liquid-based pigment inks instead of plastic toner powder. And our WorkForce Enterprise AM Series ink offers a dramatically lower plastic footprint than the powdered plastic toner used by laser printers,⁶ which can result in up to 65% lower energy consumption vs. color laser printers⁷ and up to 53% less waste than color laser printers.⁸

Less energy consumption and less plastic waste

Say goodbye to messy cables and connectivity issues. There's a better way to print from wherever you are in the classroom, thanks to Epson's Wi-Fi Direct mode.⁹ This feature lets you print wirelessly from multiple classroom devices without installing a separate router. Just connect a compatible tablet or smartphone and you're good to go with a seamless, intuitive classroom printing solution.

Seamless classroom connectivity

Ready to start printing when you are

Epson WorkForce Enterprise AM Series models boast the lowest power consumption in each of their classes.

It's time for a printer that works at the same speed as your busy school environment. With Epson PrecisionCore Heat-Free technology, there’s no printer warm-up time to keep you waiting while the hectic school day slips by. That means whether you're in the classroom or the school office, you don't need to wait around for print jobs to begin.

Engineered for reliable performance

Epson printers for education are designed with students, administrators, and educators in mind.

Compared to similarly featured competitor models (A4, Color, MFP, 20–28 ppm) in the top 15 models of North American market share (based on IDC data) with at least 10 units in BEI service population. Competitors represent brands using an average of their qualifying model’s MCBV. Epson data based on internal data.

Compared to similarly featured competitor models (A3, Color, MFP, 40–60 ppm) launched between 1/1/2018 and 11/1/2023 with at least 250 units in BEI service population. Epson data based on internal data. AM-C400/C550 - When compared to laser competitors in their class. Competitive data sourced from BEI – Service Cost Data as of February 2024.

4. Included and replacement ink bottle yields based on the ISO/IEC 24712 pattern with Epson’s methodology. Actual ink yields will vary considerably for reasons including images printed, print settings, temperature and humidity. Yields may be lower when printing infrequently or predominantly with one ink color. All ink colors are used for printing and printer maintenance, and all colors must be available for printing.

5. Actual savings and costs will vary considerably based on print tasks, print volumes and usage conditions. Savings and cost per ISO page are based on the cost of replacement ink bottles and the cost of enough standard-capacity color laser toner cartridges to achieve the total page yields of the ink bottles using the manufacturers’ online prices and yields for the best-selling similarly featured color laser printers, available at retail, with speeds of 40 ppm or less per industry-available data as of July 2024. Savings of up to 65% (USD) for XL-capacity color laser toner cartridges based on the same methodology.

6. Certain pigment inks contain up to 5% plastic.

7. Based on manufacturers’ specifications and industry available data as of March 2022. Actual power savings will vary by product model and usage. For AM-C4000, compared to similarly featured A3 color laser printers and copiers at 31–40 ppm. For AM-C5000, compared to similarly featured A3 color laser printers and copiers at 41–50 ppm. For AM-C6000, compared to similarly featured A3 color laser printers and copiers at 51–60 ppm.
