Home Printer Made Using Recycled Plastic

Post-consumer plastic accounts for about 30%1, by weight, of the plastic used in the EP-M553T printer. The printer is equipped with high-capacity ink tanks, which alleviate out-of-ink worries, reduce ink replacement hassles, use fewer resources, and result in less waste.

1 The number (30%) was determined by calculating the weight of recycled plastic in each part based on the composition rate and then adding them up.

Printer Made Using Recycled Plastic Material

Recycled plastic accounts for about 30% 1, by weight, of the plastic used in the EP-M553T. The use of recycled plastic material enables us to use less virgin plastic and contribute to resource recycling.

Epson will gradually increase the amount of recycled plastic used in various printer product categories that we expect to be widely used to print photos, school materials, and documents by those working from home.

Reduction in Consumables Used

We are reducing consumables and packaging use by enabling users to refill ink tanks from bottles. People who print a lot and use larger-sized ink bottles instead of ink cartridges can reduce their CO2 emissions from consumables by about 73%.

* Comparison of CO2 emissions accompanying the raw materials, manufacture, transport, and disposal of consumables, including packaging materials, assuming 30,000 A4 color documents are printed over a period of 5 years. CO2 emissions were calculated based on Epson's evaluation conditions. Actual CO2 emissions will vary depending on customer printer use.

Fully-Integrated, Feature-Rich Compact Teller Device

As an all-in-one product, the TM-S9000Ⅱ offers a lower environmental impacts while also lightening the work load of tellers by efficiently processing checks electronically.

TM-S9000Ⅱ

Electronic Check Processing: The Faster, Greener Alternative

Paper checks are an integral part of life in the U.S. and some other locales. In the past, banks would physically mail checks to one another for processing, but legal changes and technological advances have made electronic check processing standard. With the TM-S9000Ⅱ, Epson supports electronic check processing, which not only lightens the work load on banks but also reduces the environmental impact by eliminating the need for physical transport.

ALL the Required Function in a Single Unit

The TM-S9000Ⅱ combines check scanning, endorsement and receipt printing functions in a single device. In addition to having a small footprint that saves space at the teller counter, this all-in-one device is fast and easy to use. By maximizing work efficiency and eliminating the need for several separate devices, the TM-S9000Ⅱ helps save energy and resources.

Eco Features

  • Support the digitalization of the check settlement process and also greatly reduce the environmental impacts related to physically transporting checks.
  • The functions necessary for the tellers are integrated in one unit, reducing the environmental impacts related to energy use, resources and so on by making separate equipment unnecessary.

Manufacturing innovation

Compact SCARA robots

Epson's industrial robots have led the industry for over 30 years thanks to their innovativeness and reliability. And Epson has SCARA robot global market share leader for twelve successive years 1.

T series have a built-in controller and batteryless motors. SCARA robot arms move horizontally and can perform simple tasks that are currently done by hand, such as loading and unloading electronic components and small automotive parts from test equipment. SCARA robots can also help you replace single-axis robots.

Space-saving and simple cabling

Epson integrated all the compact, lightweight controller components into the robot arm so that customers do not need a separate controller box or a space in which to install it. In addition, you no longer have to route long cables to the controller, which simplifies initial setup and redeployment.

* Weights indicated in the above pictures do not include cables.

Saving energy and resources

The T3 is 30% more energy-efficient than conventional SCARA robots. And it runs on 100 V, so it can be used in facilities where a large power supply is not available.

You do not need to replace batteries because the T3 records the back-up status of its motors by using a simple mechanical system with the latest motor technologies.

Eco Features

  • Compact all-in-one SCARA robots increase productivity and save space by automating simple tasks and replacing single-axis robots.
    • Equipped with a built-in controller to save space
    • Run on AC 100 V, using 30% less power than comparable Epson robot systems 1
    • No batteries required for the motor unit, thus reducing resource use, maintenance, and factory downtime

A Projector with a Long-lasting Laser Light Source for Reduced-maintenance Operation

The high-output laser light source has a long service life and helps shrink the size of the optical engine.

EB-L25000U

Laser Light Source

High-lumen projectors designed primarily for use at major events need to be extraordinarily reliable and to maintain stable brightness and image quality around the clock. These large-venue projectors are often installed on high ceilings, which can make lamp replacement troublesome and expensive.

The laser light source lasts up to an estimated 20,000 hours 1, practically assuring that it will be ready to go when you are.

Maintenance period of laser and lamp

A portion of the light from a blue laser is converted to yellow light after striking a yellow phosphor wheel. This yellow beam is then split into red and green. Thus only a single light source is needed to produce the three primary colors of light (red, green, and blue), which helps to reduce the size of the optical engine.

1 Approximate time until brightness decreases 50% from first usage. Measured by acceleration test assuming use of 0.04 - 0.20 mg/m3 of particulate matter. Time varies depending on usage conditions and environments.

Lightweight Yet Durable

Laser light, which is less susceptible to diffusion than lamp light, can more readily be concentrated, meaning that the mirrors, LCD panels, and other main components in the optical engine can be made smaller and lighter.

A pipe frame and baseplate structure ensure a durable, knock-resistant case. Besides being compact and light, this projector is designed to be easy to install, remove, and transport again and again.

* Compared to the weight and volume of projectors with 10,000 lumens of brightness or more (per Epson research conducted in May 2017). Some projectors use a laser light source, others use a lamp.

EB-L25000U wins iF Design Award 2017.

Products are evaluated based on a wide range of criteria, including consideration of environmental standards, practicability, workmanship, degree of elaboration and innovation, functionality, usability, safety, aesthetics, and universal design.
