Epson Unveils New LED Printers
Will replace the company's entry-level laser printer lineup
Nov 15, 2011
Epson has unveiled high performance LED printers that are specially designed to cater to both home and small business users. According to the company, the new line of LED printers, which consists of three monochrome models (AcuLaser M1400, MX14 and MX14NF) and two colour printers (AcuLaser C1700 and CX17NF), will replace the company's entry-level laser printer lineup.
Epson claims that its new line of LED printers will be capable of a maximum printing speed of 24ppm (pages per minute) for the monochrome models, while its colour printers will feature a slightly lower speed of 12ppm. In addition, the common features among all the printers include high monthly cycles of up to 20,000 pages a month, along with built-in memory capacities of up to 128MB for what the company claims amounts to "better workload management". In addition, all the printers will also sport lower energy consumption because of their use of LEDs over conventional laser technology. Although being LED printers, the new series will continue to use the well-established Epson “AcuLaser” brand for the foreseeable future as it has become synonymous with quality, performance and value among Epson customers.
