Partnering with Epson, a global technology manufacturer

Epson has been leading the industry shift away from high- energy consuming laser printing to energy-efficient, heat-free printing for over two decades in an effort to reduce the carbon footprint of the printing industry. With Epson’s inkjet printers, now formally accessible via Banner on the NEPA 2 framework, customers in the charity, education, local government and other public sector organisations can reduce their energy consumption, based on the printers they decide to install within their organisation.

Richard Wells, Head of Business Sales for Epson UK, said: “This change marks a great milestone for the public sector in reducing its carbon footprint……Securing the agreements from NEPA 2 followed a long and in-depth review of Epson’s quality and sustainability policies, device location management, marketing strategy, and everything in between, and we’re pleased to be one step further in making inkjet the more common place alternative to laser.”
