Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Epson WorkForce Pro WF-C878R Multifunction Color Printer is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You run a department or branch office printing 5,000-10,000 pages a month.
  • You want minimal IT intervention — RIPS packs at 86,000 black yield mean rare swaps.
  • You need A3/11x17 print, scan, copy, fax in one device.
  • You're replacing a color laser MFP at workgroup-to-department scale.
  • You can absorb the install footprint of a wide-format MFP.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if you mix everyday office docs and wide-format presentations.
  • It's fine if you connect via Ethernet for shared queuing.
  • It's fine if you'll use the duplex ADF for batch scanning.
  • It's fine if you'll add optional trays.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if your monthly volume is too low to amortize the high-yield RIPS packs.
  • Skip this if you need true production volume — go AM-C400 or higher.
  • Skip this if you need print only — go EP-C800.
  • Skip this if you need monochrome only — go WF-M5899.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Epson WorkForce Pro WF-C878R is a high-capacity A3 color MFP with PrecisionCore Heat-Free and the Replaceable Ink Pack System delivering up to 86,000 black or 50,000 color pages — among the highest yields in the WorkForce line. 25/24 ppm in black/color, A3 (11x17) support. The thing buyers regret is the 'R' suffix confusion — the R-series is RIPS-equipped from the factory at higher yield than non-R variants. Confirm what you're actually ordering. For a department or branch office that genuinely prints 5,000-10,000 pages a month and wants minimal IT intervention on supplies, this is one of the better-engineered choices Epson makes. For lower volumes, go WF-C8690 or the EM-C800. Plan a print-release workflow, ADF batch-scanning user accounts, shared scan-to-email destinations, network drop, and a service contract. Optional trays push capacity higher; finishing options expand as needs grow. PCL and PostScript both standard for enterprise print management. PrecisionCore Heat-Free means lower power draw than equivalent color laser MFPs and near-instant wake from sleep — meaningful in offices with sustainability targets.
