Ms. Lyn Lizarondo, Product Manager for Visual Instruments, Epson Philippines, is joined by Mr. Daniel Poh, Asia Sales Director, Extron Electronics Asia Pte Ltd., Mr. Joseph Mak, Sales Manager, Asia Pacific, Milestone AV Technologies Ltd. and Mr. Adrian Tan, Technical Sales Account Manager – ASEAN countries, SOTI Inc. during the tête-à-tête session

As the leading digital imaging company celebrates another milestone with the achievement of world numberone in projectors for 16 consecutive years, Epson unveiled a series of feature-packed projectors for businesses and schools at affordable price points.

At the Projection Conference & Showcase, “Together, We Bring Imagination to Life”, held at the Shangri-La at the Fort, Epson Philippines Visual Imaging Product Manager Lyn Lizarondo pointed out how projector usage has expanded over the years, with Epson delivering innovations adapted to the fast-changing needs of multiple segments.

“This showcase highlights how Epson led innovations in visual imaging technologies even beyond the boardroom. In the past few years, we have seen how projectors have become indispensable in the home, schools, and even in big venues and the outdoors. Even as Epson took big steps in various sectors, we have continued to improve on the usage of projectors for businesses and in classrooms, by adding on features that are not available in the market at these price points.”

The new Epson projectors are equipped with an impressive 3,3000to 3,600 lumens, delivering both white and colour brightness in the same high levels. This feature is important to ensure better visibility even in bright environment, like in offices or in classrooms.

Resolutions range from SVGA, XGA, WXGA, WUXGA and wide ranging connectivity- HDMI/VGA/LAN that provides convenient and hassle-free projections. EB-U42 even comes additional with 2 HDMI ports, with one of it MHL-enabled – ideal for greater digital compatibility.

Wireless transmission enables the users to enjoy enhanced connectivity and flexibility with either EB-U42’s built-in wireless module or Epson’s ELPAP10 wireless LAN adaptor. This enables end-users to easily share and transmit images, texts and files from smart devices like mobile phones, tablets and laptops.

Split screen features allow two separate image sources to be projected on a single screen, eliminating the need for a second projector. This is useful during video conferences allowing presentation images and remote participants to be shown together simultaneously. 

Multi-PC projection moderator function allows connecting to up to 50 devices- PC, smartphones or others--- and simultaneously project onto the screen up to four (4) images. This is a significant advantage to help make meetings or classroom presentations easy and efficient. 

Screen mirroring allows users to wirelessly mirror their android smart devices to the projector without the need of cables or installing any application. 

Auto Power On- projection starts automatically when a signal is received from a computer or smart device even if the projector is on standby. It saves the need to turn on the power button or use the remote control. 

Epson has pioneered in raising awareness on Color Brightness (Color Light Output) as an important requirement for life-like colors. Utilizing its own proprietary 3LCD technology, all Epson projectors deliver equal levels of White Light Output and Color Light Output—an important detail that significantly raises the quality of projected images.

Since 2015, Epson’s visual imaging development has remained focused on multi-sectoral usage and innovating in anticipation of evolving functions of projectors as an ubiquitous digital imaging device for business, education or lifestyle requirements.

““Epson’s R&D on its products and supporting services are made even better by constantly enhancing every detail to come up with this level of performance and reliability. Being number one globally for 16 years, and in the Philippines for the past few years has inspired the company to further harness its own technologies into expanding to more possibilities for visual imaging products, explains Eduardo Bonoan, General Manager and Head of Marketing, Epson Philippines.  “The R&D for all Epson products are aligned with the Epson 25 Vision of “creating a new connected age of people, things and information with efficient, compact and precision technologies’, and with the enhancement of every detail, we are surely coming closer and closer to making it happen for our customers,” concludes Bonoan.

Epson L-series Integrated Ink Tank Printer

Epson, a global leader in printing technologies and market leader for ink tank printers, has launched its new A4 duplex integrated ink tank printer, the new L-series printers that offer one of the lowest printing costs in the market.

Sporting a brand new sleek design, the new L-series integrated ink tank printers have been re-designed into a compact size with the ink tank integrated into the printer, offering the smallest footprint amongst all brands of ink tank printers .

The new integrated L-series printers significantly lower the total cost of ownership to businesses with its ultra-high page yields. Each complete set of 4 ink bottles increased its yield to 7,500 black and white pages and 6,000 color pages to help businesses lower their operating costs. The pigment-based black ink also provides laser-like quality, making documents water and smudge-resistant when printing in mono. 

The new L-series ink tank printers come with auto-duplex  print function which affords users up to 50% savings on paper cost, reducing running costs even further. Epson is currently the only brand offering ink tank printers with auto-duplex function in the market.

John Herrera collaborates anew with EPSON PH featuring his "Armada" Spring/Summer 2018 Collection

It was truly John Herrera's lucky year when he won Britain's Top Designer (BTD) 2017 in London, England showcasing his "agila" collection inspired by the Philippine Eagle and tribal art. It was a winning collaboration with EPSON PH. 

This time around Epson PH collaborates anew with award-winning designer John Herrera in creating “Armada” - a 30-piece apparel for women for his Spring/Summer 2018 collection.  John Herrera showcased some of the Armada collection on August 29 at TWG Teahouse Shangri-la Plaza.

The newest John Herrera creations will be globally presented during Fashion Scout in September 2017, the international showcase for fashion pioneers and UK's largest independent showcase for emerging and established design talent during the 2017 London Fashion Week.

“The inspiration for the Armada collection came from the very first map in history that included the Philippine islands. This map by Diogo Ribeiro shows the world circa 1529.   With the help of Epson’s digital textile printing technology, I was able to render parts of this medieval map and present designs on opaque and translucent fabrics.  The combination of sheer and stiff materials with soft fabrics create new silhouettes will remind us of sailing to new worlds,” explains John Herrera.

Fresh off his win as  Britain’s Top Designer 2017 (BTD) at the 5th season of fashion’s finest event for emerging talent in British fashion for his Aguila collection, his first collaboration with Epson, Herrera delves back into history and Philippine pride in creating these new digitally-printed masterpieces.

Before heading to London for Fashion Scout, John Herrera will officially be sent off courtesy of Epson Philippines at the TWG Tea Salon & Boutique in the East Wing of EDSA Shangri-La Plaza Mall, Mandaluyong City. Special guests and close friends of John Herrera, as well as invitees from the Philippine lifestyle media were able to show their support and send their well wishes as he showcases his newest collection, Armada.

In a nod to the Spanish colonial heritage, Herrera also enhanced the collection by integrating in the design elements of costume and fashion from the era of King Phillip of Spain, the monarch whom the country was named after.  Hues of sepia and brown were combined in the digitally printed fabrics to infuse the feel and look of this historic time.

“This is the second time that John Herrera has tapped Epson’s digital textile printing technologies to create a totally different concept in fashion and design, and we are very happy to collaborate with him once again.

As the brand ambassador of Epson Philippines’ Professional Printers Group, he has truly given us the world’s attention with his ingenious marriage of art and technology. This latest collection called “Armada” is John’s  avant-garde  take on our history and roots; a creation that we are confident will put the Philippines on the map once again,” said Ed Bonoan, Senior General Manager and Marketing Head, Epson Philippines.

Epson’s digital textile printing technology enables designers to achieve their artistic vision with advanced technology that understands the intricacies of fabric and design.  With this innovation, world-class designers like John Herrera, have successfully translated their vision onto high quality digital textile prints driven by Epson’s PrecisionCore printhead technology, one of the fastest inkjet delivery technologies in the world. Its print nozzles deliver ultra-precise control of ink droplets for superior image sharpness across a wide range of ink and media, producing outstandingly vivid and unique prints.

The complete John Herrera Spring/Summer Collection will be globally showcased in London’s Fashion Scout in September 2017.
