GEC NEWS WIRESeiko Epson Corporation high-capacity ink tank printers have achieved cumulative global sales of 15 million units, proving the success of this revolutionary new system.
Epson first launched the high-capacity ink tank printers in October 2010 in Indonesia. Since then, the high-capacity ink tank printers have continued to be introduced into 150 new countries and regions, including the Middle East, highlighting the positive response to this new concept.
This new type of printer has made a significant impression on the market. This is particularly evident in emerging markets like the Middle East where sales of the series have accounted for approximately 10% of total sales of printers (laser and inkjet printers), which equates to approximately 45 million units. Epson predicts strong continued sales growth with global annual sales projected to account for nearly 40% of the total sales of Epson inkjet printers, compared to 30% and 35% in the preceding years.
Khalil Al Dalu, General Manager Epson Middle East, said “With 15 million units sold, we’re proud to say that this new concept has proven a success across all our markets including the Middle East. At Epson, we have always valued the importance of offering customers a wide range of choice so that they can find a product that suits their individual needs. We identified a unique market opportunity; customers looking for a purpose-built, reliable, cost-effective and high-volume printing solution.”
