Epson LQ-590II dot matrix printer 550 cps

Manufacturer specifications for this model

Where these differ from the configuration described above, the configuration above is what you receive.

The LQ-590II is a high-volume dot matrix printer designed for fast and reliable printing. Upgrade your existing dot matrix printers to our latest model, which is now Energy Star compliant, and delivers an incredibly low TCO.

Fast print speed

The LQ-590II offers an improved USD (ultra speed draft) speed of 550 characters per second at 10 characters per inch, making a real difference to high-volume print runs such as stock reports and large batches of invoices or freight documents.

Increased reliability

Epson's dot matrix technology is already mature and very reliable. Building on this, the new printer improves the mean time between failure by 25% to 25,000 power-on hours, ideal for challenging conditions or where regular maintenance is not practical.

Same consumables

This printer uses the same ribbons as existing models, so you can upgrade your hardware and continue to use your current ribbon supplies.
