High yield printing
This low-intervention MFP prints up to 20,000 pages in mono or colour without changing the ink supplies. This means there is low user intervention, increasing productivity.

Precision Core Heat-free technology
Epson Heat-Free Technology requires no heat to warm up when it is switched on or woken from sleep, which significantly reduces energy consumption and therefore saves money. This also means Epson's Heat-Free inkjets can deliver a fast first page out time (FPOT) of 5.5 seconds compared to laser printers, which need to preheat the fuser to print.

Enhance functionality with in-house (EDA, EPA) and third party solutions (Open Platform)
Gain complete control of printing operations with Epson and its partners solutions, allowing devices to be set up to meet specific and changing business requirements.

Epson Remote Services (ERS)
Our cloud-based device monitoring and management system helps service providers to perform accurate remote diagnosis without compromising on security. The embedded agent on the WF-C878R allows for seamless setup and use.
