Why businesses choose it
This is the machine for an office that wants everyday colour without ever swapping a cartridge. The ink lives in refillable tanks you top up from keyed bottles, and the box includes enough ink to print up to 12,000 pages in black and 8,800 in colour before you spend a dollar on supplies.
The running cost is the story. Epson rates replacement bottle printing at about 2 cents per colour ISO page, compared with about 14 cents for colour laser toner, so everyday colour stops being a budget question. PrecisionCore heat free printing also gives it the lowest power consumption in its class, which the utility bill notices.
It is a great fit for an office printing up to about 3,300 pages a month, the recommended volume the specifications note, with headroom to a 66,000 page monthly duty cycle, and it carries a two year limited warranty.
Living with it
Everything in the box
The ST-C5000 arrives with a full set of ink bottles and print, scan, copy and fax on board, so it starts saving on supplies from the first page.
Topping up the ink
Topping up is the whole supplies routine. Each bottle is keyed to its own tank, starts flowing when it is seated and stops on its own when the tank is full, so there is nothing to meter and nothing to spill.
We deliver it, set it up and leave it working, so day one is a working day.

An office machine only earns its keep if it keeps printing.We plan supplies with you at install. The ST-C5000 arrives with up to two years of ink in the box, and topping up is a bottle poured into a tank rather than a cartridge swap. Keep a spare set of bottles and a maintenance box on the shelf and a busy print run never has to stop, and nobody is ordering ink at five o’clock on a Friday. When you buy from us, you get a person who answers when you call.
