Al Wefaq Rent a Car boosts productivity with Epson WorkForce printers

Al Wefaq has used Epson printers since 2010, starting with dot matrix printers between the years 2010 and 2014. When they decided to upgrade their printing system, their ideal choice was Epson due to the positive experience with the brand. Al Wefaq had a meeting with the Epson team, who recommended WorkForce Pro WF-R5690DTWF printers and gave one printer for a one -month trial. After this trial period, Al Wefaq decided that these printers were the best choice for their business needs.

The company’s printing requirements included high quality output, energy efficiency and lower cost of printing. Since the company printed high number of documents, they wanted to minimise cost without affecting the quality.

The Epson team made note of all the concerns and proposed the WorkForce Pro WF-R5690DTWF printers as it provides heavy-duty, low-cost printing and is powered by Epson's new PrecisionCoreTM printing technology, delivering performance beyond what a laser alternative can do and save up to 50 percent lower printing cost vs. color laser.

The IT team was impressed by the promise of reliable, low-maintenance, high-volume color printing with a 45,000-page monthly duty cycle, ultra-high-yield cartridge, mobile printing and large paper capacity.

According to, Hany Al-Hamadneh, IT Manager, Al Wefaq; “In a fast paced working environment, you need a reliable technology partner who can ensure flawless durability and work performance. Epson has been our partner for so many years and their solutions have always proven trustworthy in terms of work efficiency and solid performance. Therefore, we did not think about meeting other providers when we decided to upgrade our printers. We immediately contacted the Epson team who presented their latest innovations from which we selected WorkForce Pro WF-R5690 colour printers that are very well suited for our business needs.”

According to Al-Hamadneh Al Wefaq, “We selected this innovative 4-in-1 business inkjet printer, as, after testing we found that it can help us in saving printing costs, with minimal user intervention to boost productivity. Also, WorkForce technology helps in delivering high-yield printing. Now we can print thousands of colour printouts every year without replacing the ink tank. The PrecisionCore technology powers a very reliable output quality. Prints dry fast thanks to the DURABrite Ultra ink. Scan-to functions, LDAP support and PDL emulations help this printer easily integrate into the business environment.”

He also said its intuitive large colour touch-screen makes functions easily available and Wi-Fi Direct capability enables the company to print from supported wireless devices without connecting to a router

The WF-R5690 is also energy efficient and the quiet print mode and the absence of fan noise during or after printing provides a better work environment for employees and customers.

According to Al-Hamadneh, there are fewer parts to replace than laser printers. This saves them time and helps to get more done with print speeds of up to 34ppm in mono and 30ppm in colour. Its high paper capacity of up to 580 sheets means less time is spent refilling. It features automatic double-sided printing, scanning, copying and faxing to make any job easy and efficient.

The company currently uses WF-R5690 colour printers for printing contract and other paper work in more than seven of their showrooms across KSA.

• Durability - Prints up to 75,000 colour pages without replacing ink.
• Saves time and effort allowing employees to focus more on other tasks including customer service and getting more work done.
• Greener environment at the workplace.
