The 2023 Good Design Awards are presented for designs that benefit and enrich people’s lives and society in general. Epson was a recipient of these awards.
Winning Designs:
SL-D500 Series
These compact photo printers for commercial use can be installed efficiently in stores. They feature a lightweight and compact body size and frontal operation, allowing them to be installed on narrow shelves or counters. They also have a box design that allows up to three units to be installed on top of each other. In addition to the compactness of the body, the large-capacity ink tank model contributes to lowering environmental impact by reducing consumables and waste.
Reasons For Award
These are special printers designed for shops around town offering photo printing services. All necessary operations can be completed entirely from the front panel, and multiple units can be combined side by side in compact configurations inside stores. These printers look like simple, ordinary cubes at first glance, but space is at a premium in tiny, specialised shops offering photo printing services and designs like this can be expected to save a considerable amount of space.
TM-m30III
The point of sale (POS) receipt thermal printer is operated from a smartphone or tablet. It has a cube design that fits perfectly in a variety of retail interiors. The design gives the printer a stylish appearance and makes it easy to clean. Users can easily install it because it offers 2-way paper output. Epson makes this printer using antibacterial resin, so it is ideal for use at self-checkout counters.
Reasons for Award
Epson has previously released cube-shaped receipt printers. However, the company has finally arrived at the ultimate cube shape, which will be welcomed in many stores for its clean impression. Epson has thought deeply about the people who will use this printer. For example, the printer is designed so that users can change the paper ejection direction by changing the orientation of the body, a feature that supports self-checkout counters.
