Seiko Epson Corporation (TSE: 6724, "Epson") has won 2023 Good Design Awards for four printers and one scanner. The Awards are presented for designs that benefit and enrich people's lives and society in general. The winning designs are described below along with the reasons for their selection.

Garment Printers: SureColor SC-F2200 Series

These garment printers can directly print onto T-shirts and other clothes. The compact design of these printers makes them easier to install, expand and transport. Epson has also changed the design of the operating unit, which contributes to reduced downtime and improved productivity. Epson hopes that the product helps contribute to the digitalization of the textile printing industry.





Reasons for Award

Epson revamped the design of its previous garment printer in response to feedback from its users. They reduced the depth of the unit and made installation space more compact. The SC-F2250 is now the standard model in the garment printer series. The high performance and roundness give a sense of intelligence combined with the beautifully arranged details to produce an attractive appearance. Furthermore, the easily operable controls, movable parts, and top transparent cover are uniformly black on a white-tone background. 

This fully expresses a brand identity rooted in usability and gives the impression of reliability and advanced technology over the entire series. In addition, we also appreciated that the software is provided with well-organized graphics that are easy to use, with no PC knowledge required.
