Epson printer and scanner models have been named winners of an iF Design Award 2024, one of the world's most celebrated design awards. A total of 5 models were chosen by Germany's iF International Forum Design.
Organised by iF International Forum Design GmbH, Hannover, the iF Design Award has been focused on innovative industrial product designs since 1954. Today it is recognised worldwide as one of the most prestigious of all design awards, honouring only those designs that have cleared certain selection criteria.
The criteria range from consideration of practicality and workmanship to innovativeness, sustainability, functionality, usability, safety, aesthetics and universal design. This year, there were some 10,800 entries from 72 countries and regions ad judging was performed by a panel of 132 experts.
Epson’s award-winning designs
Garment Printers: SureColor SC-F2200 Series (known as SureColor F2260 in Australia and New Zealand)
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 digitalisation of the textile printing industry.
Document Scanners: DS-C480W series (know as DS-C380W in Australia and New Zealand)
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.
