Epson WorkForce Printers Perform Behind the Scenes at the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards

LONG BEACH, Calif., Aug. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- For the third consecutive year, The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences is proudly trusting Epson WorkForce printers to print thousands of credentials in preparation for the 62nd annual Primetime Emmy® Awards on Aug. 29 in Los Angeles. Like many business operations, the Emmy Awards require an efficient printing solution that is low maintenance and affordable, and Epson has satisfied that need.

"In a demanding environment like preparing for a nationally televised awards show, speed, efficiency and quality are essential and we have found each of those attributes in the Epson WorkForce printers," said Deborah Cahn, manager of Credential Operations. "The Epson WorkForce line has delivered superior printing performance in both color and black and white, and is always my first choice when it's time to print credentials for any major event."

For the third year in a row, the Epson WorkForce 40 printer was used because it features black text print speeds up to twice as fast as competitive models(1), delivering laser-quality prints at 15 ISO ppm black and 9.3 ISO ppm color(2). In addition, the WorkForce 40 offers built-in Wi-Fi® and wired networking to share and print files from virtually anywhere in a small office space.
