Epson announces its cumulative global sales

Seiko Epson Corporation announced that cumulative global sales of Epson’s high-capacity InkTank inkjet printers have reached 20 million units. In India alone, Epson says it has sold in excess of 1.7 Million InkTank printers since its launch in 2011.

“High-capacity ink tank inkjet printers offer customers the ability to print without worry about the cost or running out of ink,” said Koichi Kubota, Director, Managing Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, Printing Solutions Operations Division.

Kubota added, “Epson’s unique Micro Piezo inkjet technology achieves stable, high-level printing performance. Customers appreciate the environmental performance, with no ink cartridges to change, the series generates little waste.

These factors have helped Epson’s high-capacity ink tank inkjet printers reach a cumulative 20 million units sold globally. Epson will continue to offer unique value and solutions to delight our customers.”

According to Samba Moorthy, Vice President, Sales and Marketing at Epson India, “Epson’s InkTank printers have been a runaway success in India with consumers from the home, small office, corporate and commercial segments embracing the ultra-low cost printing of seven paise per print (black) and 18 paise per print (composite colour).

Our aim is to make Epson InkTank printers the de-facto printing standard. We truly believe that it is the only way to print.” Epson forecasts 25 per cent year-on-year unit sales growth worldwide for these printers in the fiscal year ended March 2017, and that these products will account for approximately 40 per cent of Epson inkjet printers sold worldwide in the same period.
