Epson LQ-590II Dot Matrix Fast High-Quality 24-pin

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.
