Epson has announced that it will completely halt the sale and distribution of laser printers by 2026 due to environmental concerns.

The manufacturer has previously said that switching from laser to inkjet printers could halve printing-based global energy emmissions. It added that the transition could deliver global electricity savings in excess of 2,240 GWh per year, equivalent to approximately 1. 3 million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide annually, which is the amount that is produced by 280,175 cars driven for one year.
