Best of the Best award-winning design
Document Scanners: DS-C480W and DS-C420W Series
These compact desktop scanners help save space. The U-turn paper feeding vertical layout, frontal operation and flattened back achieve space saving, which helps contribute to an environment where the user can work comfortably and smoothly.

Business Inkjet Printers: WorkForce Enterprise LM-C4000, 5000 and 6000
These high-speed A3 inkjet printers are intended for medium-sized to large offices. These inkjets don't use heat to fire ink*, and therefore consume less power than laser equivalents.
Together with a simple structure that saves resources, these printers are designed to minimize environmental impact. The exterior is white, clean, rounded and unimposing.
* This describes the characteristics of Epson's Micro Piezo technology, and not the performance of specific inkjet printers.
Garment Printers: SureColor SC-F2200 Series
These garment printers can directly print onto T-shirts and other clothes. The compact design of these printers makes them easy to install, expand and transport. Epson has also changed the design of the operating unit to solve the issue of T-shirts being difficult to attach to the previous model. Productivity has also been improved with the new model being made easier to operate. Epson hopes that the product helps contribute to the digitalization of the textile printing industry.
Auto Color Chart Reading Portable Table
This automatic color measurement portable table makes it easy to match colors on Epson large-format printers. It works in conjunction with Epson's color measurement device and color management software to automatically measure colors so that anyone can match colors accurately and quickly. It can also measure soft materials such as cloth and thick materials. Conventional automatic color measurement tables are large and difficult to carry. Epson solves this problem by using drive technology cultivated in printers to create a small, lightweight, high-precision body. It comes with a carry bag that is easy to carry and store, so you can take it to a site, open the bag, and start measuring colors immediately.
