Epson Good Design Award



The Japan Institute for Design Promotion recently hosted the Japanese 2016 Good Design Awards and Epson Corporation was given awards for one of its projectors and two of its printers:

  • EB-L25000U business projector EB-L25000U
    This 3LCD projector with a laser light source, not only reaches brightness levels of 25,000 lm, but also achieves high reliability with maintenance-free usage up to 20,000 hours.
    The judges commenting on the harsh environments that such devices operate in, said that the designers created this product by solving a variety of issues one by one . . . and they appreciated the preparation of the handle frame has significantly contributed to installation safety and efficiency. They added that this is a projector that has been designed thoroughly from the user's point of view.


  • EP-879AW/AB/AR inkjet printer EP-879AW/AB/AR inkjet printer
    This combined inkjet printer and scanner (which is sold only in Japan) has an easy-to-use interface and can print high quality photos. It can also use the included data to print gift paper or decorations for family events.
    The judges commented that this was an inkjet printer with a scanner that is designed to harmonize with interior designs and for easy use. Detailed design without compromise are done to blend with interiors. Simple form, colors that are like modern furniture, treatment of cables behind the products for example.
