Epson Re-engineers its Micro Piezo Technology
Manila,
Philippines — Epson, a world leader in digital imaging, recently
launched the Epson Stylus Office, a range of printers engineered to
specifically meet the needs of small and medium enterprises (SMEs).

In
view of the rising material costs and a possible economic slowdown,
SMEs face even more pressure to minimize their operating costs. A
regional survey done by Gartner in 2007 showed that companies spend up
to 3% of business revenue on document printing. The ASEAN SME
Development Survey found that 58% of SMEs cited rising operations costs
as a key concern to the bottom line and barrier to growth. As such,
managing cost of operations will be key to the sustainability of SMEs.

In
a report from the Department of Trade and Industry, the SME sector
comprises 99.6% of all registered firms in Philippines while employing
69.9% of the labor force, and contributing 32% to the economy. Because
of these statistics, the SME sector is now recognized as the backbone
of the Philippine economy.

Epson believes that SMEs should be
equipped with a more efficient printing technology that will ensure
better productivity, superior print quality, low cost of ownership, and
more functions at an affordable price range. “On Epson’s 10th year in
the Philippines, we are proud to offer business solutions that can
provide better productivity and quality. We believe that businesses
especially the SMEs, considering the economic scenario, will be more
discerning and will require superior industry-standard options that
will ensure that their investments yield maximum benefits.

This
is the perfect timing for Epson to offer its global technologies that
are specifically re-engineered for the needs of SMEs,” says Epson
Philippines Corporation Senior General Manager and Division Head for
Sales & Marketing Eduardo Bonoan.

Re-engineered Epson Micro Piezo print head technology for Laser-like Quality and Speed
Epson’s
new Micro Piezo print head delivers perfectly spherical dots with high
precision dot placement, delivering laser-quality image resolutions of
up to 5,760 by 1,440 dots-per-inch (dpi).

With this new print
head that sports 360 nozzles per inch (as compared to 180 nozzles
previously), SMEs are able to achieve an increased printing speed – at
laser default quality – of up to 2 pages per second. Combined with
Epson’s Durabrite Ultra, resin-coated pigment inks, prints from the
Epson Stylus Office dry instantly; in addition, they are both water and
smudge resistant.

Enhanced Functionality with Wireless Connectivity
Wireless
network printing feature is available in selected models of the Epson
Stylus™ Office, enabling SMEs to print their documents without the need
for messy wiring.
