Why now could be the best time to treat your business to a printer upgrade

Epson Usain Bolt

No matter what your line of business, sometimes we all need to rely on the humble office printer to help us get the job done.

Despite vast developments in digitisation and the ubiquitous use of smart technologies, a printer is still a vital ally in your office or home workspace, offering you the flexibility to print what you need, when you need it.

If your printer hasn’t aged as you’d hoped, and you feel it's time for an upgrade, then you're in luck. Epson is one of the biggest names in the printing industry, with its products winning awards and garnering stellar reviews around the world, and it's currently running a promotion that could be right for anyone looking to boost their printing game.

In partnership with Currys Business, anyone who buys a selected Epson EcoTank or WorkForce Pro Printer before September 30 can claim cash back when they trade in their old laser printer - so essentially, you're being paid to upgrade.

There are a wide range of printers available in the promotion, including the likes of the Epson EcoTank ET-5150, an all-in-one cartridge-free inkjet printer, ideal for small business and home office use, which offers £30 cash back when you trade in. Equipped with high-capacity ink tanks, the EcoTank ET-5150 eliminates the need for cartridges and has the ability to print up to 7,500 pages in black and 6,000 in colour with just one set of low-cost ink bottles.

This wireless device also comes with useful interface tools such as a 250-sheet front paper tray, 6.1cm LCD touchscreen and 35-page automatic document feeder, so getting your print jobs set up just how you need them has never been simpler. 

Thanks to the Epson Smart Panel app, the ET-5150 couldn’t be easier to set up and use from your smart device, with the added comfort of offering printer maintenance capabilities. 

Swapping out a laser device for a newer, more efficient product such as an Epson inkjet printer, can bring economical and ecological benefits alike.

Thanks to this device’s heat-free PrecisionCore technology, there’s no heat required in the printing process, which unlike laser devices, consumes low energy and emits significantly fewer CO2 emissions. No warm-up time also means you’re not left waiting for your prints as you would with a laser device, so the first page prints much faster while also using less power and helping with your energy bills.

As an inkjet printer, there's no need to change fiddly toners, and thanks to the high-capacity ink bottles used by the EcoTank, users can significantly reduce the emissions associated with recycling printer consumables. Moreover, empty EcoTank bottles can go into household recycling. 

The EcoTank’s economical ink tank system means it has a super-low cost per page, and can save you up to 90% on the cost of ink

If you’re looking for business printing quality, the EcoTank ET-5150 features all-pigment inks for smudge, water and highlighter resistant prints.

The laser trade-in offer is open now to anyone purchasing a qualifying Epson EcoTank or WorkForce printer between 3rd April and 30th September 2023. Once you trade in, Epson will provide your cash back and will arrange for your old laser device to be recycled.

So, if you're looking for an economic and ecological print and scan solution that can offer you cash back on your laser device, there's literally never been a more cost-effective time to upgrade, so check out what Epson and Currys Business can offer you today. As Epson ambassador Usain Bolt would say, saying goodbye to cartridges means you can “just fill and chill”.
