How Epson Inkjet Printers can improve productivity

Epson inkjet printers offer several features that can help boost productivity and save time and money when working and learning from home. 

  • Plenty of Ink: Epson Supertank printers, like the Epson WorkForce ST-2000, come with two years of ink guaranteed.1
  • Easy Ink Replacement: When you do run low on ink, you can easily replace it using high-yield ink bottles, ink packs or ink cartridges.
  • Wireless Printing: Epson inkjet printers are wi-fi enabled, like the Epson WorkForce EC-C110. With this wireless mobile printer, you can print on the go from the convenience of your iPad®, iPhone®, tablet, smartphone, or laptop.2
  • Heat-free Technology: Unlike laser printers, Epson inkjet printers do not require heat to print. You don’t need to waste time waiting for the printer to warm up, so the first page prints fast.
  • Low Maintenance: Epson printers are easy to maintain and durable. They are designed to reliably deliver day in and day out, giving you one less thing to worry about.

Printed documents can improve productivity and learning

Printing out digital content and reading it on paper, rather than onscreen, has some distinct advantages.

Print is easier on the eyes. It can take longer to read text onscreen than on the printed page. And print is less likely to encourage multitasking, which research suggests can reduce productivity.

People who read printed text also comprehend more, remember more, and learn more than those who read digital text.

With select Epson printers, like the multi-function Epson WorkForce EC-C7000, you can print up to 13” x 19” for larger documents and presentations and to further increase ease of reading.

Finally, printed text can be more convenient. You can take printed materials places you can’t take laptops. For example, you can take a long printout with you to read while you wait at the dentist’s office or to the park for a nature break and make that time more productive.

The benefits of printing in color

Printing in color also offers advantages for both working and learning.  

At work, color documents can increase attention span, recall, and comprehension. Color can also reduce the time it takes to read a document.

When learning, color documents are more engaging for students and enable them to focus on what information is most important. Color also helps students better understand new ideas and makes remembering key facts and information easier.

Printables can help you stay productive when working from home

Now that we’ve seen the advantages of printing out work documents, let’s look at some printables that can boost your productivity at home.

  • To-Do Lists: Writing down tasks in a color-coded to-do list enables you to perform better. It helps you organize and prioritize your day so you can focus on completing your most important tasks
  • Weekly Planners: Knowing what tasks are coming during the week makes it easy to create an action plan to accomplish them. And it helps you evaluate your progress so you can stay on track.
  • Weekly/Monthly Calendars: A weekly or monthly calendar can help you stay ahead of tasks by letting you easily see what projects, deadlines, and other tasks are coming. Try colorizing it by priority for better motivation.
  • Goal Planner: A goal planner makes it easy to identify your goals and create a plan for achieving them. It can also be a source of motivation because it gives you something concrete to work toward.
  • Meal Plans: Taking a few minutes on the weekend to plan out the week’s meals means you won’t have to take time from your workday to think about what you’re going to eat.  

Productivity-boosting printables for students

Printables can help students learning from home to be more productive and learn more effectively. They also offer students a chance to flex their creativity. Examples include:

  • To-Do Lists: Creating a color-coded to-do list is a fun way for students to better organize their work based on priority, so they feel less overwhelmed.
  • Study Plans: A study plan makes it easier to break up studying into manageable chunks for more effective learning and memorizing. Add color for tracking subject matter or progress.
  • Worksheets: When students write out answers in longhand rather than typing on a keyboard, it’s easier for them to learn new information and better recall what they’ve learned.
  • Arts & Craft Projects: Arts and crafts projects help improve motor skills, aid in language development, and boost brainpower. Coloring pages, personalized family calendars, and custom greeting cards are just a few of the printables students can create. And if you have a multi-function printer, like the EpsonWorkForce EC-7000, you can scan documents to make scrapbooks of student projects.

Where do you find printables to use for work and learning?  You can create your own custom printables using templates in Word and Excel. Plus, there are numerous sites online where you can find a treasure trove of free, pre-created templates to download.

So, if you’re looking to improve productivity, look to your printer. Epson inkjet printers and printing in color offer numerous advantages when working and learning from home. They can help you be better organized and complete your tasks more efficiently, so both you and your kids can be more productive and have a little fun while you’re at it.

Brighter Futures – Unleash Learning and Creativity

Unleash Learning and Creativity, Not Your Budget

  • Education ᛫ Joe Contreras ᛫ Epson ᛫ March 19, 2021
Epson Brighter Futures Logo

I’ll bet a day doesn’t go by where you don’t think — probably more than once — about how challenging it is to be an educator right now. School districts are having to stay agile, so they can nimbly pivot on short notice between in-person learning, a virtual approach, and some kind of mix. It’s a constant struggle to keep students engaged, on course, and actively learning.

And while state revenues are falling, schools need even more support to keep up with pandemic-related adjustments. The Learning Policy Institute recently estimated that the combination of increased costs due to dealing with the pandemic and decreased support from cash-strapped states would pile an extra burden of $199 billion to $246 billion in costs on to school districts.1 It’s likely there won’t be a single one among the nation’s 131,000 K-12 schools2 that won’t be looking even harder than ever for ways to cut costs.

Among the costs you’re probably looking at: Printing

Did you know that 10% of a school’s total budget can be spent on printing?3 For years, people have been talking about going paperless — yet the amount of material we print remains interestingly high. Whether the learning is in-person or remote, you still have enormous printing demands, with materials often needing to be turned around quickly to accommodate last-minute adjustments. If you’re having to distribute materials for schooling at home, you may be printing even more than usual.

You and your team are so busy making a difference for your students, you don’t have the time to worry about if your color printer will work, if it needs more ink, if you can pay for it, or if it will slow down your day. You need a printer that will give you all the learning benefits of color without the grief or guilt.

What if you could print at your school without having to choose between affordability and reliability? You can — here’s how.

Here’s your affordable and reliable, highly capable ticket to unleashing learning and creativity

One of the most underestimated learning tools is color printing. Many students prefer to engage with color content over black and white, not only because it draws their attention, but also because that’s what they are used to on their mobile devices. Color facilitates the creative and critical thinking that’s so important for learning, and it can be a game-changer for students with learning disabilities.

Epson Business Inkjet printers are a great choice for just about any size school or district. Why? For starters:

  • Printing is simple and hassle-free. Just format your digital file and hit “Print.”
  • Easy on service. Few maintenance parts can translate into low intervention and labor costs.
  • Quicker turnaround. No need to wait on outsourced printing. Print when you want and adapt quickly to change.

The low-cost way to handle your printing today.

Your staff, educators and even students are working with incredibly lean resources. They need tools that can help them be productive at a low cost. With roughly 60% of instructional materials printed in schools,4 the high-capacity ink supplies and minimal maintenance parts of Epson Business Inkjet printers can result in lower cost, less maintenance and fewer interventions for your staff.

Epson printers bring you the capacity to handle common color printing jobs quickly, efficiently and economically, so you can do everything it takes to run a humming, thriving educational community — and preserve your budget, too.

A portfolio built for high performance, low downtime.

From the WorkForce Enterprise MFPs for fast high-duty cycles to Supertank MFPs for a ridiculous amount of ink — it’s no trouble, the Epson Business Inkjet portfolio will fit right in. These printers and MFPs, powered by PrecisionCore Heat-Free TechonologyTM, offer not just affordable color printing, but also fast first page out with no warmup time, so it starts fast — and finishes fast, too.5

Empower your teachers with the convenience of in-classroom color printing with high-yield ink systems from Epson and make learning Ink-credible.6

Epson Large Venue Projectors.

Posted on Leave a comment

Epson leads the market in Large Venue projectors, but with over 20 models to choose from, it can be hard to recommend the right one to your customers.
We can help you select the best PowerLite 4000, Pro G, or Pro Z series projector based on Brightness, Resolution, and Specific Needs for :
Retail, Entertainment, House of Worship, Rental and Staging, Higher Education, and Corporate Business.

First, which brand? Epson leads in both the projector market and in Large Venue Projectors. To really understand which projector to use for your Church, Business meetings, Retail store and other large venues, there are three first factors to take into account: Brightness, Resolution and Specific Needs.

Brightness

One of the main needs is that the projector be the brightest, however as brightness goes up, so does cost. Additionally , customers want to keep the lights on, therefore Ambient becomes a factor. Thus the importance of understanding how “bright” will be enough for your application is a key factor. For example, the projectors have different “Lumens” (Projectors’ Brightness), the lumens are then measured per square foot. Thus how many lumens per square foot will be how bright the projector is. Most important is to understand the specific setting where the projector will be used. For instance, there is an emerging market for Churches to use projectors, thus, for a Church: the space is mostly in a very lighted “ambient” therefore it will require more Lumens per Square Foot in order to convey an incredible brightness with an impactful image and message to its audience. On the other hand, a business meeting room with normal ambient light, will usually work perfectly with less Lumens per Square Foot than a Church

Resolution

Resolution is measured by how many pixels on a screen, more pixels equals higher resolution and greater detail. Epson’s projectors address a series of resolutions. Choosing the right projector then depends on answering the question: Which content will you be displaying? Content with high detail should be displayed using high resolution. For example, are you displaying Engineering drawings, Excel spreadsheets, Digital photography or a Full HD video at the Church? Is your business doing a PowerPoint Presentation with marketing charts, graphs and bulleted text? An additional and key factor to consider to obtain the best resolution is to understand which device will you be connecting to the projector? Typically a laptop, but then remember that the original quality of the image will be displayed, the images that fit the screen perfectly, will project better quality than if the projector needs to S T R E T C H (upscale) the image to fit the screen. It can also be that the source image has more pixels than the projector can display, in this case, the projector will have to SHRINK (downscale) the image to make it fit the screen. Ideally, the customer should ask for a demo before purchasing a projector. The best quality is seen when the projector resolution matches the source resolution, thus customer’s content is a key factor.

Specific Needs

Do you need to turn your floors and ceilings into immersive displays? There are projectors with specific features that will make you have a wonderful impactful display. Now you can project 360 degrees, horizontal or vertical walls and even use wireless projections to share your content. There is much more to show and tell about the projectors world!

Bring Printing for Your Congregation In-house and Take a Load Off Your Budget

Posted on Leave a comment

This won’t be the first place you’ve heard this: these are challenging times for houses of worship. On top of the traditional trials of keeping a congregation engaged and thriving, the pandemic has brought a host of new hurdles. Perhaps yours is one of the many that’s had to pivot to services conducted online or outdoors, as well as to remote contact with members.

The impact is more than logistical: in a cross-denominational survey taken in July by Indiana University’s Lake Institute on Faith & Giving, 41% of the congregations surveyed reported a drop in donations in the early months of the pandemic1. And nearly half said they plan to cut their budgets in the coming year.

No doubt, you’re looking closely at your costs — including printing

Sure, you’re always looking at costs. But maybe it’s even more urgent now.

Can you cut printing? It’s likely a necessity to help keep your members active, responsive, and showing their support. Older members may be accustomed to connecting via printed communications. And, especially in uncertain and disconnected times, printed materials provide a physical touchpoint — a way to make faith and membership tangible, tactile, present. What’s more, a printed piece is immediate — it doesn’t hope someone gets around to visiting a website or bothers to open an email.

What if you could print your bulletins, contribution envelopes, programs, stationery, flyers, brochures, notecards, and more in-house — quickly and at a low cost? You can — here’s how.

Here’s your affordable, highly capable ticket to moving your printing in-house

Epson’s WorkForce inkjet printers are a great choice for just about any size house of worship. Why? For starters:

  • Printing is simple and hassle-free. Just format your digital file and hit “Print.”
  • Easy on service. Few maintenance parts can translate into low intervention and labor costs.
  • Quick turnaround. No need to wait on external vendors.
  • No print shop deadlines. Prepare and print on your schedule — it’s ready when you are.

Easy on waste, easy on energy

With few maintenance parts plus high-yield ink cartridges, the WorkForce Series requires minimal intervention. And that PrecisionCore technology I mentioned? Since it’s heat-free, WorkForce printers deliver the lowest power consumption in their class.
