The latest development in Inkjet Printers has been significant for small to medium businesses and is bound to put a big dint in the SME colour laser market. Epson started the trend firstly with the release of their Business Inkjet Range WF-4590 which has now been superseded with their new WF-5690. These printers have been targeted to small businesses and can provide all the functions of nearly all colour lasers. Print, Copy, Scan & Fax. They have auto duplexing, Network and wireless connectivity plus PCL6 and postscript. But the best part is the cartridges. The consumables come in the basic Black, Cyan, Magenta & Yellow cartridges But the amazing thing is they are 4000 page cartridges that retail at around $89.00 ea. That makes for a far lower cost per page than any comparable Colour Laser which you would be paying up to $200 dollars each for a 4000 page toner and then you have to allow for costs of replacement drums, transfer belts and fusers.
