Epson Wins 2025 Good Design Awards for Two Innovative Printer Lines
Seiko Epson Corporation (TSE: 6724, "Epson") has announced that two of its printer product designs have received the prestigious 2025 Good Design Award, recognizing innovations that enhance everyday life and contribute positively to society.
The winning models include:
Inkjet Printers: EcoTank L6390, L6360
Large Format Printers: SureColor SC-F9550/SC-F9550H, SC-S9150
Redefining Home and Small Office Printing
Epson’s EcoTank L6390 and L6360 are designed for small offices and home environments, addressing the growing demand for productivity and comfort amid the rise of remote work. The printers combine functionality with a compact, harmonized design that blends seamlessly into home interiors while maintaining ease of use.
Compared with previous models, these EcoTank printers feature enhanced durability and improved environmental performance, reflecting Epson’s commitment to sustainability.
Reasons for the Award:
The judges highlighted the modular design concept as particularly noteworthy. The first and second tiers share a common base, allowing additional modules to be stacked for different functions. The display cover doubles as a paper cassette when opened and folds completely flat when closed, demonstrating an elegant and highly practical design solution.
Enhancing Productivity and Comfort in Industrial Printing
Epson’s SureColor SC-F9550/SC-F9550H and SC-S9150 large-format printers were recognized for advancing the ergonomics and aesthetics of industrial printing equipment. The models are 300 mm lower in height than their predecessors, creating a more open workspace while enhancing image quality and operational efficiency.
The printers also feature a flat top for reviewing prints, a media lifter for handling heavy rolls, and a large cover for simplified maintenance—all designed to reduce physical strain and promote workplace wellness.
Reasons for the Award:
The award jury praised Epson’s departure from traditional, heavy industrial printer designs. By lowering the body height and optimizing the layout for comfort, Epson’s wellness-centered approach minimizes operator fatigue and stress. Quiet operation, intuitive control panel positioning, and clear lighting elements further enhance usability and mental comfort—presenting a new, human-centered vision for business equipment that balances productivity with well-being.
