Inkjet vs. Laser
Printing Process Comparison
A Research White Paper
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 heat 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
Less Power Consumption
Heat free technology uses less power because it does not use heat to warm up. This results in significantly less energy use.
Fewer Replacement Parts Saves Money
Laser printers typically have more consumables and require replacement of the drum, transfer belt and fuse in many cases. Our printers use fewer parts that need replacing.
Save Time, 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.
