What kind of printing challenges do logistics companies face?  

Epson developed and introduced matrix printers, which play an important role in providing multipart delivery notes and waybills for logistics companies. Nowadays, printing bills and receipts have different regulations and the printing industry has developed new technologies facilitating to print pictures, logos and other non-textual elements. Wrapping and notation techniques require new solutions as well, including production of self-adhesive labels that are produced directly from process control system databases, even among shelves or in the outdoor vehicle park.

How did printing expectations change?

Automatic processes require the printing of high resolution labels. Application of several different colors occurs often as well. Not only the contents but the implementation of label printing is also important – including the durability of these labels or their resistance to environmental effects (e.g. in case of storing and transporting frozen goods or chemical products). Decoration of transport vehicles is also a challenge for printing. Epson’s devices are pioneers in up-to-date label printing, as well as in foil coating and the production of printed vehicle canopies.

What kind of solutions do you offer for logistics companies?

We offer a wide range of devices for office and industrial use as well, to print self-adhesive labels, both in monochrome and technicolor. We recommend our high-performance printers for the production of decorations and large-sized notations. Storing and transportation processes are easier with our mobile printers, which can also be transported in a vehicle or can even be attached to the operator’s work uniform. These devices work with high precision and reliability, and also use the most environmentally friendly techniques. Epson finds it important to invest in the transformation of printing technology, in order to develop economical and environmentally friendly devices that fit future challenges.
