10 SEPTEMBER, SUBANG JAYA – Epson, a global leader in sustainable printing solutions, is proud to introduce the WorkForce Pro EM-C8100/C8101, A3 Colour Multifunction Printers designed to meet the evolving needs of modern offices. Built on Epson’s renowned Heat-Free Technology, these innovative printers deliver exceptional speed, reliability and sustainability, making them an ideal choice for businesses seeking high-performance and eco-conscious solutions.
While sustainability is an increasing priority for businesses, many are still choosing legacy technologies. In fact, 34% of Southeast Asian decision-makers mistakenly believe that laser printers are more sustainable than inkjet printers, highlighting the need for education on eco-efficient solutions1. The WorkForce Pro EM-C8100/C8101 addresses this gap by offering an innovative alternative to laser printers, combining exceptional performance with reduced environmental impact.
Enhanced Performance and Productivity
The EM-C8100/C8101 delivers next-level performance with features designed for busy work environments. These printers can achieve fast print speeds of 26 images per minute (ipm)2 and scan speeds of 64/124ipm (simplex/duplex), enabling high-volume productivity. The advanced paper handling capabilities offer a maximum paper capacity of 1,900 sheets3 with optional cassettes, reducing the time spent refilling paper. Additionally, the high-yield ink packs allow for up to 86,000 pages in black and 50,000 pages in colour, reducing the frequency of replacements for uninterrupted productivity.
Seamless Integration for Modern Workplaces
The WorkForce Pro EM-C8100/C8101 is built to support today’s hybrid and digitally connected work environments. At the heart of its offering is the Epson Solutions Suite—a range of software and tools that streamline workflows, enhance security, and boost operational efficiency. Epson Connect, Epson Smart Panel and Mopria Print Service, enable seamless mobile and cloud printing with its cloud and network compatibility. Additionally, features like IP Fax, and document capture, and compatibility with third-party solutions further streamline operations. Epson Print Admin also ensures secure, PIN-protected access and user authentication while Epson Remote Services simplifies device management across the entire organisation, anytime, anywhere. These features make the EM-C8100/C8101 integrate effortlessly into modern IT ecosystems, making it a smart, scalable choice for dynamic workplaces.
A Smarter, More Sustainable Solution for Businesses
The increased operational efficiency of the EM-C8100/C8101, combined with Epson’s innovative features, empowers businesses to meet their sustainability goals. Powered by Epson’s Heat-Free Technology, the Workforce Pro has reduced energy consumption of up to 85%4 compared to laser printers, significantly cutting electricity costs and CO2 emissions. The design uses fewer replacement parts than laser printers and incorporates 30% recycled plastics, minimising waste and supporting a circular economy. The fewer replacement parts also mean less intervention and maintenance. With high-yield ink packs, fewer replacements are needed, reducing the overall carbon footprint.
By transitioning to inkjet technology, businesses can reduce their environmental impact while maintaining exceptional print quality and efficiency. Morikawa Tomohito, Managing Director of Epson Malaysia said, “The EM-C8100/C8101 is a testament to Epson’s dedication to combining performance with sustainability. We’re helping businesses future-proof their operations with printers that not only perform exceptionally but contribute to a more sustainable tomorrow.”
The Epson WorkForce Pro EM-C8100/C8101 is available in Malaysia starting September 2025. For more information, please visit Epson’s website or contact the nearest Epson Authorised Dealer.

2 EM-C8100 has print speeds of up to 25 ipm (A4, simplex). EM-C8101 has print speeds of up to 26 ipm (A4, simplex).
3 Maximum paper handling capacity for EM-C8101 is 1,900 sheets and EM-C8100 is 1,835 sheets.
4 Testing was commissioned by Epson and conducted by Keypoint Intelligence. One specific model was selected from colour laser multifunction printers in the 65-70 ppm class. Epson WorkForce Enterprise WF-C21000 with 100 ppm (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. A total of 69 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.
