The Epson Stylus D120 – durable, compact, stylish and fast
Ask any company what they look for in a colour printer, and you’re likely to find two factors consistently high in the priority list: print quality and speed. That’s certainly true of Mane Contact Services, one of the UK's leading technical recruitment consultancies and a company that needs a print capability up to the demands of an extremely busy administrative department. Dealing with many candidates and employers on a daily basis, Mane considers speed to be essential – but not at the cost of quality. Both are non-negotiable.

Of course, like most companies, Mane has a variety of printing requirements, some of which are dealt with by heavy-duty workgroup printers. But there are other - equally important – needs which are not met by departmental network printers. One of these is the need for personal printing, a powerful enabling tool for Mane’s management team. By providing those who require it with a desktop printer, Mane can maximise personal – and, therefore, corporate - productivity.

Even with personal printing, quality and speed are both critical, which is why Ian Bowers, Operations Director of Mane was so impressed with the Epson Stylus D120. “We have a constant need to print documentation such as contracts, timesheets, Terms and Conditions, tenders, reports and order forms,” he said, “and, when we need them, we often need them quickly. I’m extremely pleased at the Stylus D120’s normal speed of printing, which is every bit as good as advertised. And it is even faster on Fast Mode.”

And the Stylus D120 had another surprise in store for Ian Bowers. “Like a lot of people, I had the idea that inkjet printers delivered inferior print quality, but our experience of the Epson Stylus D120 proved this to be a mistaken impression. I was both amazed and impressed with the quality of output, which is also fade resistant. The documentation we produce, which often includes screen shots, looks very professional.”

So: how has the Epson Stylus D120 impacted Mane’s business? “It’s durable, compact, stylish and fast.” said Ian Bowers, “What’s more, it’s amazingly energy-efficient, which has to be a good thing, both from an environmental and a cost perspective. Basically, I’d say it’s ideal as a desktop personal printer for everyday use. But then, you expect such products from Epson.”
