Epsons Design Triumphs: iF Design Awards 2025 

Epson just picked up multiple top design honors in 2025 including five iF Design Awards for printers, a projector and an accessory. These awards recognise products that combine form, function and sustainability, and they matter: good industrial design often means easier setup, better durability, quieter operation, and a user experience that saves time.

What won? Quick facts

• Epson received five iF Design Awards (2025): three printer models, one projector, and a portable Auto Chart Reader accessory.

• The honored printers include multiple SureColor wide-format models that serve professional print and signage markets; the wins span business, professional and home-theater categories. 

• Epson also continued to collect other prestige awards this year, including recent Red Dot recognition, reinforcing a consistent design focus across product lines. 

Why these design awards matter for buyers

1. Better usability = less downtime
Award-winning design isn’t only about looks. Thoughtful engineering reduces user errors, simplifies consumable changes (ink, filters), and speeds routine maintenance, which matters for busy offices and pro print shops.

2. Durability and serviceability
Winners are evaluated on quality and longevity. A device designed for easy access to service points will generally cost less to maintain over its lifecycle.

3. Sustainability & materials
Design juries increasingly weigh eco-credentials. Epson’s recognition reflects work on energy efficiency (e.g., Heat-Free printing in some EcoTank models) and recyclable packaging, tangible selling points for ESG-minded buyers. 

4. Confidence for specifiers and integrators
AV integrators, schools, and retail chains look for products with reliable ergonomics and industrial design; awards make vendor selection easier and support procurement justification.

How this affects your buying decision

• For small businesses: look for award-winning models when uptime and low TCO matter, the design edge often means easier refills and fewer service calls. 

• For designers & print studios: SureColor design recognition signals both performance and practical ergonomics for high-volume, colour-critical work. 

• For AV/education buyers: projector design wins point to lighter installs, better cable management, and improved user interfaces, helpful for multi-room deployments. 

Why design awards are worth your attention

Design awards are more than trophies, they’re independent confirmation that a product balances aesthetics, usability, sustainability, and engineering. Epson’s 2025 award haul suggests the company is investing in user-centric hardware across printers and projectors, which translates into fewer headaches and better ROI for buyers.
