A global leader in professional printing, Epson has announced the Epson WorkForce Enterprise AM-C400 and AM-C550, a new line of energy-efficient and compact mid-range A4 printers that optimize office layouts without compromising productivity.
In a recent survey conducted by Epson Southeast Asia with 1,500 office equipment decision-makers and end-users across Southeast Asia, half of the respondents (50%) indicated they would like to see more sustainable printers in the workplace. Nearly 3 in 5 stated energy efficiency as the most critical factor when considering sustainable printing. Additionally, 79% felt that compact-sized printers are essential in their workplace printing requirements.
With fast print speeds of 40 and 55 pages per minute, even in duplex mode, these new models are the much-awaited A4 counterparts to the A3 models: Epson WorkForce Enterprise AM-C4000 and AM-C5000, introduced in early 2023 and are equipped with the same robust features and functionalities.
Space-saving design
The WorkForce AM Enterprise series realizes a C-shaped paper route path to deliver efficient and consistent high-speed printing. The compact AM-C400 and AM-C550 models can print up to 40 and 55 pages per minute in simplex and duplex printing.
With a minimum footprint of only 465mm x 570mm, the AM-C400 and AM-C550 are among the most space-saving models in their speed range. The A4 AM series' compact footprint makes it ideal for small offices or busy customer-facing work environments such as reception desks.

Eco-conscious and user-friendly
Designed for excellence, the Epson WorkForce Enterprise AM series is powered by Heat-Free Technology, delivering consistent and reliable high-speed printing with up to 85% less power consumption.
They are resulting in savings on electricity bills compared to laser printers. The new printers also minimize running costs and use up to 59% fewer replacement parts and consumables.
This reduces periodic part replacements and waste and time spent on replacements and maintenance. Further, heat-free printing technology eliminates heat in the ink ejection process, allowing the printer to print immediately within seconds of the first print-out time.
The A4 models come with space and user-friendly configurations such as a hassle-free front-loading design and a 10.1" touch panel where users can customize layouts. The AM-C400 and AM-C550 offer eco-features such as a power consumption monitoring tool and a green leaf icon on duplex printing functions to remind users to save paper by printing on both sides.
Epson commissioned testing, which Keypoint Intelligence conducted. One specific model was selected from color laser multi-function printers in the 65-70ppm class: Epson WorkForce Enterprise WF-C21000 with 100ppm (the equivalent model in Europe was used during the evaluation).
This data is as of September 2020. Devices were tested in default mode as per Keypoint Intelligence's proprietary standard energy consumption test methods. Calculations were based on a weekday workload of 2 x 4 hours printing + 16 hours in sleep/standby mode and weekend energy use of 48 hours in sleep/standby mode. Sixty-nine pages of workload test pattern using DOC, XLS, PPT, HTML, PDF files, and Outlook email messages were printed six times in each 4-hour printing period.
Testing was commissioned by Epson and conducted by Keypoint Intelligence. One competitor model was selected from worldwide best-selling vendors in the 65ppm and 70ppm color laser multi-function printer—Epson WorkForce Enterprise WF-C20600 with 60ppm (the equivalent model in Europe was used during the evaluation). Consumables and periodic replacement parts are required to print 1M pages. The weight includes all used consumables, periodical replacement parts, and their packaging. The test printed pattern used was ISO24712.
