The Epson WF-R5690 workgroup printer enables offices to benefit from the increased productivity of a local distributed print fleet that requires minimal intervention, while providing predictable print costs.

Print up to 50,000 pages in black or 50,000 pages in colour without replacing the ink1 thanks to this printer's super-high-yield ink supply units.
The supply units lead to low intervention and no time wasting interruptions. Supplies management is made simple, supplies waste is greatly reduced and lower IT support costs are achieved.
PrecisionCore technology powers the output quality that Epson is known for, at the speeds required for office, commercial and industrial printing. Prints dry fast thanks to the DURABrite Ultra ink. PDL printing emulations, including PCL and Adobe PostScript 3, and Gigabit Ethernet help this printer easily integrate into the business environment. Its Wi-Fi Direct® capability also lets you print from supported wireless devices without connecting to a router.
The WF-R5690 uses up to 80 percent less power than competitive colour lasers thanks to its no heat technology. No ozone gas is emitted, and an improved quiet print mode and no fan noise during or after printing make it ideal for the working environment. And there are fewer parts to replace than a laser.
Get more done with print speeds of up to 34ppm in mono and 30ppm in colour, or 20ppm ISO print speed in both. Its high paper capacity of up to 580 sheets means less time is spent refilling. It features automatic double-sided printing to make any job easy and efficient. The Epson WorkForce Pro WF-R5690 also features automatic double-sided printing, scanning, copying and faxing to make any job easy and efficient.

Introducing PrecisionCore, the next generation of inkjet printing technology. From professional and industrial-level printers to your desktop inkjet, this groundbreaking technology delivers fast printing with superior quality results. A truly innovative system, PrecisionCore features Epson's advanced thin-film piezoelectric (TFP) elements, which are produced via the MEMS manufacturing process, based on semiconductor micro-fabrication techniques. At the core of this proprietary technology is the PrecisionCore MicroTFP print chip, a digital chip that prints at the micron level — 1/100th the size of a human hair. It's this extraordinary focus on accuracy and detail that enables PrecisionCore to deliver revolutionary results, whatever the task at hand.
Keep your business moving with WorkForce Pro RIPS. Forget frequent time-wasting interruptions to change consumables, deal with supplies mis-management, fix problems or wait for IT support. Just concentrate on smooth, on-demand business printing.
Available as part of a Managed Print Service, WorkForce Pro RIPS printers can help to create a distributed printer fleet that both handles the demands of busy workgroups and delivers predictable print costs.
The benefits of a distributed printer fleet include easy access, confidentiality and control, which all contribute to enhanced workflow. The local distributed print model is particularly useful where confidentiality and fast, direct access to prints is crucial. This includes senior management, legal and HR environments, and customer-facing staff like teachers, doctors, nurses and retail staff who can’t leave customers, patients or students while they go off to pick up prints.
PrecisionCore technology ensures each nozzle on the print head delivers up to 50,000 droplets per second. The result? Fast print speeds that rival those of colour lasers. The WorkForce Pro WF-R5690 delivers professional quality, two-sided colour prints at super fast print speeds, making it easy to increase productivity, without compromising quality. Boasting drastically improved print speeds of up to 20 ISO ppm (black) and 20 ISO ppm† (colour), any project can be handled with speed and ease.
Packing a greater number of nozzles into a smaller surface area, this high-resolution inkjet printhead, along with PrecisionCore technology, gives you ultra-sharp text, as well as stunning graphics and images — all with smooth gradations on both plain and specialty paper.

The WorkForce Pro WF-R5690 boasts a total of 580 sheet capacity including an 80-page rear tray for envelopes, labels and specialty media for efficient paper handling.
PrecisionCore technology enables the use of advanced ink formulations, DURABrite® Ultra Ink. This innovative, pigment based 4 colour ink set, along with PrecisionCore printing technology delivers smudge, fade and water resistant prints that are highlighter friendly too.

Delivering perfectly round droplets and extremely accurate dot placement, these remarkable print heads ensure extraordinary output, whatever the application delivering brilliant, ultra-sharp text on plain and specialty papers.

1R14X Black ink pack prints about 50,000 pages. R14X Colour Packs print about 50,000 pages on average. Actual number of pages will vary. Replacement ink pack yields are based on testing with ISO/IEC 24712 patterns with Epson’s methodology in Default mode, printing continuously. Yields may vary considerably for reasons that include images printed, print settings, temperature and humidity. Yields may be lower when printing infrequently or predominantly with one ink colour. All ink colours are used for printing and printer maintenance. For print quality, part of the ink from the included cartridges or ink packs is used for printer startup and a variable amount of ink remains in the ink pack after the "replace ink pack" signal appears.
2Monthly duty cycle up to 45,000 is the highest duty a user could expect in a month, based on near-constant operation of a device of this kind. It is not recommended that the device be run at the best device performance, run the device at the recommended duty of 2500 pages per month.
3Not all media types are supported for PCL printing.
4WiFi CERTIFIED™, level of performance subject to the range of the router being used. Wi-Fi Direct may require printer software.
