PrecisionCore inkjet Heat-Free technology
Epson Heat-Free technology does not require heat in the ink ejection process. Instead pressure is applied to the Piezo element, which flexes backwards and forwards firing the ink from the printhead.
In contrast, other technologies work with heat. Laser printers need to heat the fuser to enable printing, for example.
Fast print speeds
Get fast print speeds that rival those of colour lasers. Now you can speed through critical print jobs and focus on your business.
The WorkForce Pro WF-3820 delivers professional quality, fast print speeds, making it easy to increase productivity, without compromising quality. Boasting fast print speeds of up to 21 ISO ppm (black) and 11 ISO ppm1 (colour), any project can be handled with speed and ease.
Higher colour resolution vs. colour laser printers
Packing a greater number of nozzles into a smaller surface area, this high-resolution inkjet printhead, along with PrecisionCore Heat-Free technology, gives you ultra-sharp text, as well as stunning graphics and images — all with smooth gradations on both plain and specialty paper.
Efficient — Versatile paper handling plus ADF
This model comes with a 35-sheet automatic document feeder and offers print, scan, copy and fax functions. The Workforce Pro WF-3820 is always ready to print with the 250-sheet front loading paper tray.
High-speed faxing
Fax as fast as 3 seconds per page, save up to 180 pages in memory, and store up to 100 numbers. Using the included PC-Fax, users can even send a colour fax right from their computer. It’s a great way to save time and paper.
Extremely durable prints
Exclusive to Epson, DURABrite™ Ultra ink is a versatile pigment based, 4 colour ink technology which delivers brilliant, ultra-sharp detail on plain and specialty papers. These fast drying inks deliver durable prints that are water, fade and smudge resistant, as well as highlighter friendly.
Ultra-sharp text and vibrant graphics
Delivering perfectly round droplets and extremely accurate dot placement, these remarkable printers produce extraordinary output, whatever the application. You get ultra-sharp text for truly impressive results.

Brilliant results. Great value.

Also, there is a wide range of ink cartridge sizes available to suit varying user needs – including extra high capacity and value packs for higher productivity and savings.
This printer is designed to function only with genuine Epson ink cartridges and not with third party ink cartridges. The printer may not function properly or at all if you use third party ink cartridges.

Consumables
Warning to Epson printer owners. Many well known third party companies claim their inkjet printing papers are compatible with all Epson inkjet printers. Epson has reports from many customers who have used third party paper and have been very disappointed with the results. When the same customers have changed to genuine Epson paper, they have been amazed and pleased with the colour and quality of their prints. Epson recommends that you do not use any non genuine printing papers if you want to get the best results from your Epson printer. Epson printers are very carefully tuned to ensure Epson inks and Epson's patented MicroPiezo™ printhead produce the best quality prints using carefully selected Epson paper.
This printer is designed to function only with genuine Epson ink cartridges and not with third party ink cartridges. The printer may not function properly or at all if you use third party ink cartridges.
Equipment supplied by Epson Australia is designed to function in conjunction with genuine Epson consumables and accessories specifically configured for it.
