Epson recognised for its innovative high quality imaging products for the photographic industry

Editors and journalists from photography magazines around the world have recognized two Epson products in the prestigious TIPA Awards 2014. The winning Epson products this year were the Epson Expression Photo XP-950, which was named “Best Photo Printer,” and the Epson EH-TW7200, which won the award for “Best Photo Projector.”

TIPA – the Technical Image Press Association – judges the innovation, technology, design, ease-of-use and price-to-performance ratio of products launched in a 12-month period to develop a shortlist and winner for each award category.

Ian Cameron, general manager for global sales and marketing support at Epson, commented, “TIPA members are all experts in the field and therefore select products according to the strictest standards. The panel has a huge variety of choice so we are very proud to learn that Epson products have once again been selected for these much valued awards.”

With members in nine European countries plus Australia, Canada, China, India, South Africa and the USA, TIPA is one of the largest and most influential photographic and imaging press associations in the world. Winning the two 2014 awards means that Epson has now received a total of 34 awards from TIPA for technologies and imaging products, including inkjet printers, inks, scanners and projectors, since 1997.
