"We are truly honored by the Pinnacle awards we have received over the past decade, underscoring our commitment to the industry and our valued customers."
The Pinnacle Product Award competition, open to all PRINTING United Alliance supplier members, assesses products that are set to be released for sale in 2024. A panel of expert judges from the printing industry meticulously evaluated over 160 entries across 58 categories encompassing analog, digital, output, and non-output technologies. Output devices are scrutinized based on reports generated by measuring color charts and comparing them to industry standards.
"The uniqueness of this competition lies in its reporting of the percentage of Adobe RGB coverage achievable by a printer," stated Dawn Nye, the program manager for Pinnacle Awards at PRINTING United Alliance. "The competition was exceptionally fierce this year, with some categories being decided by mere fractions of a point. These esteemed awards highlight the top performers in commercial hardware. Congratulations to Epson for securing three wins this year, marking an impressive ten years of consecutive victories."
