Epson launches three printers for in-house proofing

For busy advertising departments or agencies that don't have time to research, benchmark and purchase each element individually, the Design Editions present a quick and cost-effective investment. Simply select the Epson printer that suits your needs, and, via one of its channel partners, Epson provides the entire package of hardware, installation and RIP software from EFI - its popular Express Edition - along with a set of Epson media profiles. Users can also add the SpectroProofer if they have the need for automatic and highly accurate colour calibration and measurement.

Saving time and money

The Epson Stylus WT7900 Design Edition is the industry's first white ink packaging proofing printer, offering an innovative and unique ink formulation which is capable of printing on various substrates, including metallic, at sizes of up to 24 inches (53.35 cm).

The Epson Stylus Pro 4900 Design Edition is ideal for agencies and in-house departments that want to tap into the industry's highest Pantone match rate of 98%, providing high-quality proofs at up to 17 inches (43.2 cm), while the Epson Stylus Pro 3880 Design Edition is suited for smaller design studios or freelancers who want a compact, affordable printer for their proofing needs at up to 17 inches (43.2 cm).

"We know how important it is for busy agencies, designers and advertising departments to save time and money when it comes to proofing. This is why we put together the Design Editions, aiming to save time not only on researching and selecting each element within the package, but also to help them speed their proofing productivity, " says Kelvin Reynolds, general manager of Epson South Africa.
