Epson printers have won Buyers Lab (BLI) 2022 Wide Format Pick Awards in the signage category.
Keypoint Intelligence, which provides the testing services, says this round of Pick Awards acknowledges the products that gave the best performances in its lab testing in the previous two years.
David Sweetnam, Keypoint Intelligence director of Research and Lab Services EU/Asia, says, “Because of the pandemic, these awards cover tested products launched over the last two years, with several vendors submitting for the first time. There was stiff competition, but in the end, Epson won across three of our Wide Format Signage Pick categories.
“These devices delivered impressive productivity and have noteworthy usability design coupled with the class-leading output quality that we have come to expect.
“Epson’s new resin ink devices target the latex ink market. The company has equipped the other two winners with Epson’s new Edge RIP and bulk-ink formulation matched up to the same standards of performance that helped their cartridge-based siblings claim BLI Awards in 2018.”
The BLI 2022 Wide Format Pick Awards go to these Epson models:
- Epson SureColor S60660L CISS for Outstanding High-Production CMYK Eco-Solvent/Latex 54″/64″ Printer
- Epson SureColor S80660L CISS for Outstanding Gamut Expansion Eco-Solvent/Latex 54″/64″ Printer
- Epson SureColor R5000 Series for Outstanding Enhanced CMYK Eco-Solvent/Latex 54″/64″ Printer
Gordon Kerr, business marketing manager for large format at Epson Australia, says, “Epson’s signage business has grown dramatically over the last 10 years and our range has expanded to include cut sheet, roll-to-roll and flatbed solutions using aqueous, eco-solvent, resin, UV and dye sub ink.
“Our focus from the very beginning was image quality and customer satisfaction and we wanted to produce machines that would offer superior quality output on the widest range of media while ensuring reliable and cost-effective operation. From our engineers to our ink chemists, our manufacturing to sales team, we are truly honoured to have won so many of these prestigious awards.”
Keypoint Intelligence bases the BLI Wide Format Pick Awards on rigorous testing in the lab or in the field, along with comprehensive analysis in categories such as image quality, usability, and speed.
