Features
This printer offers many features small offices will love – high-quality prints, durable pigment inks, 500-sheet paper capacity, and a double-sided automatic document feeder for simple document copying.
Since most printed documents are five pages or less, first-page-out time is crucial. ET5800 is much faster (<10 seconds) than most laser printers since it doesn’t have to warm up.
With an ongoing speed of 25/12 mono/colour pages per minute, it is no slouch for longer documents either.
Epson’s Durabrite T542 pigment-based inks cost about $108 and print up to 6000 pages easily withstanding highlighter use without smudging, water resistance, and sharp text quality. Enough ink for up to 4500 black-and-white pages is included in the box.
Connectivity is Wi-Fi, Ethernet and USB. You can print from Google Drive and all its related apps using Google Cloud Print.
Saving consumables is important for any office, and the ET5800’s two-sided copying and printing offers an easy solution to halve your paper consumption.
Faxes are as fast as three seconds per page with up to 550 pages stored in memory, along with up to 200-speed dial numbers.
Paper handling is important for any printer to reduce downtime, so the split trays hold 250 pages each – print from one while reloading the other. There’s also a rear specialty paper tray for printing on envelopes, card stock, and other special media.
