Epson takes photograph print quality and flexibility to new levels at Photokina

Epson will demonstrate the quality and flexibility of its scanning, inkjet printing and smart glass technology for multiple imaging applications at world's leading trade fair for photo and video, Photokina (B011, Hall 2.2, 20th-25th September 2016) in Cologne, Germany. Visitors will see a full line up of Epson’s very latest products demonstrating how home and professional photo specialists can produce superb quality images on a wide range of media and enter the world of augmented reality using the Epson Moverio smart glasses.

Alongside its comprehensive range of professional, high performance solutions for photo and fine art printing, Epson will go beyond traditional photo media at the event and show just how easy it is to use its market-leading inkjet printers to apply images onto canvas, T-Shirts, metal panels and 3D objects to create photo personalised products.  Epson is partnering with leading software, finishing and application specialists on the booth to show how a variety of creative photo and fine art products can be produced quickly and easily.

In addition, to help visitors learn about the latest imaging manipulation and printing techniques, Epson is hosting a series of on-booth, daily Panel Sessions. Epson’s imaging experts will join with top industry specialists to provide advice on topical issues such as: How to print on media with optical brightener; the best way to digitise your transparencies and historical glass slides; and How to find the best media to produce the highest quality photographs or fine art prints.

Khalil El-Dalu, regional sales manager for Epson Middle East, says: “Photokina is an international event for the photographic and imaging industry and it attracts visitors from many parts of the world, including the Middle East. Participating at such an important event helps us to network with a large number of potential and current customers and listen to their opinion. One of the highlights this year is our on-booth Professional Photo Studio, where visitors can experience how easy it is to produce the best quality prints using Epson’s latest inkjet printers.”

Designed to meet the diverse needs of today’s consumer and professional imaging industry, Epson’s inkjet printers all deliver the highest levels of cutting-edge quality, versatility and connectivity and productivity.
