Switch to Heat-Free Technology for low power consumption

The earth is facing numerous environmental challenges. The answer to these challenges lies in every person and every company thinking about changing behaviour. And we can all play our part.

At Epson, we're focusing on the changing the way we consume energy. Switching to Heat-Free Technology, which uses no heat in the ink ejection process and delivers lower power consumption. Starting one page at a time, every time we all print, we can change the story together.

So when you're making your next printing choice, think about switching to Heat-Free Technology. Turn technology to your advantage.

Conserving heat to minimise our impact

As rising temperatures and melting permafrost are changing the landscape of the tundra, heat conservation is a great way to minimise our impact on the environment. In this video, National Geographic Explorer and ecologist, Dr. Isla Myers-Smith, explains the effects of climate change on the tundra ecosystem, highlighting the importance of both large-scale solutions and the everyday actions of individuals as we look towards a sustainable future.

"It is critical that we understand the implications of Arctic greening. Choosing heat-free technology will lower energy consumption, minimising our impact on the environment."

Heat-Free Technology

Laser and inkjet printers may look the same on the outside. But it's what's on the inside that counts. Epson's Heat-Free Technology does not require ink in the ink ejection process. Instead pressure is applied to the Piezo element which flexes backwards and forwards firing the ink from the printhead.

The benefits of Heat-Free Technology*1

Increase productivity and reduce environmental impact without compromise

Save time with consistent high-speed printing

Heat-Free Technology requires no heat to warm up when it is switched on or awoken from sleep. This means printing starts immediately.

Fewer replacement parts, lower environmental impact

Laser printers typically have more consumables and require periodic replacement of the drum, transfer belt and fuse in many cases. Thanks to Heat-Free Technology, our inkjet printers use fewer parts that need replacing.

Less power consumption saves energy and money

Heat-Free Technology uses less power because it does not use heat to warm up. As inkjets have no fuse unit to heat, this results in significantly less energy consumption.

Less intervention increases productivity

The Heat-Free structure of Epson inkjet printers means that there are fewer parts that can fail, which reduces the amount of intervention required.
