Introducing heat-free PrecisionCore, the next generation of 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, heat-free 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 does not use heat to eject ink and 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, and no heat also means less power consumption, fewer consumables and less intervention, which saves you time and money.
Lowest colour cost per page in its class
Why should you settle for mono prints when you can print in colour? This WorkForce Pro printer with heat-free PrecisionCore technology on-board, delivers outstanding results at a fraction of the cost of colour laser. You can print sales and marketing collateral in-house and on-demand, rather than buying in bulk, and spending extra time and money at the local copy shop. Print more with high capacity ink cartridges that last up to 10,000 black pages, and colour yields of up to 5,000 pages2
The WorkForce Pro WF-C5290 includes features such automatic, two-sided printing whereby you can save up to 50% on paper supply. In addition both models enable significant energy reduction by using up to 85% less power than laser printers3. In most cases the energy used by a laser printer, whilst in "Ready" mode, still uses more energy than an Epson device whilst printing.
Exceptional, best-in-class Colour Quality
If you wish to buy a colour printer to promote your business, no matter what line of business, Epson's exceptional colour print quality will ensure proposals and marketing collateral are represented in the best possible light.
Packing a greater number of nozzles into a smaller surface area, this high-resolution inkjet printhead, along with heat-free PrecisionCore technology, gives you ultra-sharp text, as well as stunning graphics and images - all with smooth gradations on both plain and specialty paper. Comparing to a laser device at 600dpi, these devices can deliver 16 times the quality of document. Perfectly suited to business printing requirements.
Heat-free PrecisionCore technology enables the use of an advanced ink formulation, DURABrite® Ultra Ink. This innovative, pigment based, 4-colour ink set, along with Epson's heat-free PrecisionCore printing technology, delivers smudge, fade and water-resistant prints that are highlighter friendly too.

Fast print speeds
Heat-free 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 more expensive colour lasers. The WorkForce Pro WF-C5290 delivers professional quality, two-sided colour prints at super-fast print speeds, making it easy to increase productivity, without compromising quality. Featuring print speeds of up to 24 ppm† (mono) and 24 ppm† (colour), any project can be handled with speed and ease.
The WorkForce Pro WF-C5290 boasts a total input capacity of 330 sheets, including an 80-page rear tray for envelopes, labels and specialty media for efficient paper handling. An optional 500 sheet paper tray is available to increase paper capacity to 830 pages if required.
