Main products include finished commercial and industrial inkjet printers, printheads sales, and small printers (POS receipt printers). In the finished product business, we leverage the features of print heads that can support multiple ink types, offering a wide range of products for applications such as photo, signage, labels, and textile. We aim to achieve growth through efficient product development and lineup expansion enabled by platform design, as well as by enhancing the functionality of our cloud solutions.

Digital printing, which involves directly printing design data onto fabric to create clothing, is suitable for small-lot and short-delivery production due to its fewer process steps compared to traditional large-lot analog printing. This makes it ideal for responding to the diversification of consumer needs with high-mix small-lot production. It also features reduced environmental impact, as it consumes less water and other resources and generates less ink waste.

In addition to providing printers, we also offer cloud services at the printing site, contributing to improved production efficiency. Customers can monitor the status of printers, streamline color matching tasks for each printer, and centrally manage production processes such as print jobs.

The commercial and industrial printing market is shifting from analog to digital printing. In applications such as signage, textiles, and labels, analog printing still holds a high share, presenting growth opportunities through the expansion of digital printing.

* Epson's forecast based on print volume data by application from multiple research companies and market information.

Epson's printheads adopt the same Micro Piezo inkjet technology used in office and home printers. In addition to enabling high-speed, high-quality printing, they can handle a wide variety of inks, making it possible to print on various media such as fabric and labels. Furthermore, there are opportunities for expanding the potential applications to fields such as electronics and biotechnology. We aim to lead the creation of new markets along with our partners who offer their various services and ideas.
