Printwear & Promotion The Total Promotional Package
On June 12, Seiko Epson Corporation celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Epson brand.
As a company, Epson can trace its roots back to 1942 and the watchmaking industry. In 1968, Epson launched its first information equipment product, the compact and lightweight EP-101 digital electronic printer. It was this printer that served as the impetus for the creation of the Epson brand, in 1975.
The brand name reflected the company’s hopes of preserving the value of the electronic printer (EP) while continuing to create many valuable derivatives (SONs).
Epson released its first inkjet printer, the MJ-500, in 1993. This printer was equipped with Epson’s proprietary Micro Piezo ink ejection technology. The following year, Epson launched the MJ-700V2C, the world’s first printer to deliver high-resolution (720dpi) at an affordable price.
In the commercial and industrial printing sectors, Epson entered the large-format printer market for professional graphic applications in 2000.
Today, the company and the Epson brand are recognised around the world.
