TOKYO, Japan, February 6, 2020 -Seiko Epson Corporation (TSE: 6724, "Epson") is proud to announce that its Surecolor SC-P7500 and Surecolor SC-P9500 large-format printers have been named iF Design Award 2020 winners by Hanover-based iF International Forum Design GmbH.
Created in 1953, the iF Design Award is recognized around the world as one of the most prestigious awards for innovative industrial product design excellence.
Products are evaluated based on a wide range of criteria, including practicability, workmanship, consideration of environmental standards, degree of elaboration and innovation, functionality, usability, safety, aesthetics, and universal design.
This year's winners were selected from 7298 entries from 56 countries and regions by a 78-member jury comprised of experts from around the world.
Details of the award winning Epson products:
Surecolor SC-P7500 and Surecolor SC-P9500
As successors of the Surecolor SC-P9050V and SC-P9050G, regarded highly as the industry standards for reproducing high-quality images in fine art, proofing, and photo laboratories, these products provide the functional operability of high-quality professional tools, such as internal lighting to immediately check printed material and a neutral color that does not interfere when making color adjustments.
Developed for professional photographers & fine art production who demand the highest print quality to make their art more marketable to the discerning buyer.
In addition to the 12-colour inkset, the Epson designed, advanced printheads use up to 800 nozzles for each colour, to produce accurate dot placement and eliminate misprints.
They combine high-speed production with quality, thanks to the μTFP12 printhead with 300dpi resolution and 12 channels.
Images also benefit from smooth gradations and accurate texture reproduction. Deeper blacks are achieved through black enhancement overcoating technology which results in even more striking and dramatic printed images.
For those who value true creative freedom and need to print on a wide variety of media, the SC-P7500 (24-inch) and SCP9500 (44-inch) support fine art papers, canvases, photo paper and more.
