- 9-pin printers print faster and can also print
multi-part copies of forms.
- Epson’s DFX printer uses four sets of 9 pins
for the fastest printing possible.
- 24-pin printers print sharper, more detailed
text.
- Heavy-Duty printers are faster and handle
thicker forms and larger workloads with
ease.
- Print speed is measured in cps (characters
per second) at 10 cpi (characters per inch).
The higher the cps, the faster the printing.
- The more paper paths, the more flexibility.
Tractor feeds handle continuous paper and
multipart forms, friction feeds handle single
sheets, envelopes and postcards; straight
paper paths accommodate heavier stock
without bending or jamming.
- Epson’s DFX and LQ-690 printers use
advanced APG (Automatic Platen Gap)
technology to automatically adjust print
head position to prevent damage to the pins
from unnecessary force.
- Epson impact printers support a wide range
of windows operating systems. Software
drivers come standard or are available at
www.epson.com.au

Genuine Epson Ribbons
1Save Money by Reducing Total Cost
of Ownership

Good and Consistent
Print Quality
Environmentally Friendly and Not
Hazardous to Your Health
Consumers often respond to the immediate saving
non-genuine ribbons offer at point of purchase without
realising that the total cost of ownership is in fact
higher. Based on Epson’s internal testing we have
shown that using Epson genuine ribbons actually
reduces your total cost of ownership by 60%
In testing, the use of non-genuine ribbons resulted
in more frequent printhead repair and replacement.
After using 14 pieces of non-genuine ribbon, the
printhead was damaged and required replacement. In
comparison the Epson genuine ribbon did not cause
damage to the printhead even after 55 pieces of
ribbon were used.*
The cost consumers pay for each printhead
replacement can buy approximately 1½ year’s worth
of Epson genuine ribbons. The actual cost of Epson
genuine ribbons is in fact 2.4 times cheaper than
non-genuine ribbons, taking into account all repair and
replacement costs.**
Compared to non-genuine ribbons, Epson genuine
ribbons maintain print consistency over time and
ensure that your prints are of high quality. So while
non-genuine ribbons fade and wobble, Epson genuine
ribbon print quality remains true.
Epson genuine ribbons comply with Restriction of
Hazardous Substances (RoHS) guidelines which
ensures that hazardous substances are not used.
Some non-genuine ribbons do not comply to these
guidelines and may contain substances which are
harmful to you and the environment.
