Printers have to meet high demands as they are often at the very heart of working processes. Designed for business use, this A4/A3 inkjet multipurpose printer series by Epson features the innovative EcoTank system. Attractively compact in design, the printers in the series can fit easily on a desktop. They are effective, low in cost and deliver a high print speed. Moreover, they are also environmentally friendly thanks to their low energy consumption. The A4/A3 model has been redesigned from scratch. The ink tank, which was placed on the side in the predecessor model, has been moved to the front. This helps to improve the refilling process and significantly reduces the width of the main body. Picking up on the compact design of the series, this model offers numerous advantages thanks to which it is more user-friendly and also better supports the company workflow. In addition, the output tray has been automated in the new model to enable automatic output when a print job is sent from the PC. This allows users to print remotely from a distance, while the output tray is compact enough to fit neatly in standby mode. The A4 model in this range offers the same usability and functionality as a high-end model in A4 size, while the space-saving compact A3 model is intended for entry-level large format printing.
Statement by the Jury
With their balanced language of form, the printers in this Epson series aestheticise the office environment. The generously dimensioned ink tank thereby represents an outstanding aspect of their design. It is placed for easy reach and supports the notion of well-thought-out user-friendliness. These elegant devices set new standards in terms of effectiveness, print speed, cost saving and environmental compatibility.
