In the design of Epson's ET-4810 series¹ printers, the adoption of a high-capacity ink tank system, the use of packaging materials made from paper resources, and the incorporation of recycled materials into the plastic body help shift away from the use of underground resources in consumables, packaging, and the product itself.
¹ Models sold outside Japan (Representative Models: ET-4810/ET-2840/ET-2830/L5590/L3560/L3550)

The high-capacity ink tank system reduces the frequency of consumable replacements, cutting the use of plastic and metal in consumables by 86%² compared to traditional cartridge systems.

² This is a comparison of the mass of petroleum-derived plastics and metals in consumables, including packaging materials, for printing 41,600 pages of A4 color documents over five years using the ET-4810 and WF-2630 series printers. This calculation is based on Epson's evaluation criteria and may vary depending on different usage conditions.

The ET-4810 series uses cardboard, a paper-based product, as cushioning material instead of traditional polystyrene cushioning materials. Furthermore, the cardboard contains over 80% recycled material. Additionally, the polypropylene tape used to protect the product during transport has been replaced with paper tape. By utilizing paper products, we are reducing the use of petroleum-derived plastics.

• The high-capacity ink tank system reduces concerns about running out of ink and minimizes the hassle of replacement, while also decreasing resource usage.
• Using cardboard cushioning materials made from paper resources.
• Incorporating recycled materials into the plastic used in the printer body.

Epson's AM series¹ business inkjet printers have been made more compact compared to the previous WF series², resulting in a smaller installation footprint, making it possible to fit into limited spaces. The reduction in size and weight has also contributed to a decrease in resource usage, helping to reduce environmental impact.

¹ AM-C4000/5000/6000 series
² WF-C20600/20750/21000 series

The AM series has become more compact and lightweight by changing the internal layout compared to the WF series. By revising the paper transport path from the traditional S-path to a C-path and placing the ink supply system in the available space, we have effectively utilized the internal space, reducing the volume of the AM series by approximately 34% and the footprint3 by about 32%.

³ The area a machine occupies.

In addition to its space-saving design, the AM series has achieved approximately 30% weight reduction compared to previous models by thinning the frame thickness. By changing the connection between the frames from screws to welding, we have realized the reduction in thickness while maintaining the same level of rigidity as previous models.

⁴ Including consumables.

Due to its compact and lightweight design, the environmental impact (CO2 emissions) during the raw material acquisition has been reduced by approximately 36% compared to previous models, achieving an overall reduction of about 33% across the entire lifecycle.

For details on the calculation of environmental impact throughout the lifecycle, please refer to the following.

• Revising the transport path has resulted in a volume reduction of approximately 34% and a footprint reduction of about 32%.
• In addition to the compact design, the thinning of the frame has achieved a weight reduction of around 30%.
• As a result of the compact and lightweight design, the environmental impact (CO2 emissions) of product’s raw material acquisition has been reduced by approximately 36%. (compared to the WF-C20600 and AM-C6000)

Further lightweight design of the wireless receipt printer reduces resource consumption and contributes to lowering environmental impact.

The TM-P80Ⅱ series has undergone a redesign of its body, achieving a weight reduction of up to 24% compared to the previous model. This not only reduces environmental impact but also lessens the burden during transportation.

The TM-P80Ⅱ series comes standard with a USB interface. By enabling charging from commercially available USB charging devices (Type C) and computers, the need for a dedicated power adapter, which was previously included, has been eliminated, reducing the number of included items. Along with the reduction in weight of the main unit, the packaging is up to 49% lighter compared to the previous model. Additionally, with the reduction in included items, the size of the individual packaging boxes has been reduced by approximately 30%, improving loading efficiency during transportation.

• The lightweight design reduces the resource consumption of the main unit.
• The reduction of included items has achieved a lighter packaging.
• The miniaturization of individual packaging boxes has improved loading efficiency during transportation.

Approximately 30%¹ of the plastic used in the main unit is made from recycled materials. Additionally, by providing the software via the internet instead of on CD-ROM, resource consumption and waste disposal could be reduced.

¹ This ratio refers to the mass of plastic used overall. The mass is calculated considering the proportion of recycled materials. The content percentage may vary depending on procurement circumstances.

The DS-C480W and DS-C420W incorporate approximately 30%¹ recycled materials in the plastic used, which contributes to reducing reliance on petroleum-based plastics and promotes resource circulation.

• Recycled materials are utilized in the plastic of the main unit.
• Resource consumption and waste disposal could be reduced by changing the software delivery from CD-ROM to the internet.

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.

• 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

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 thirteen 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.

¹ Market share based on unit sales of industrial SCARA robots, 2011-2023.
(Source: Fuji Keizai "2012 - 2024Reality and Future Outlook of Worldwide Robot Market").

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.

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.
