Today it is recognized worldwide as one of the most prestigious of all design awards, honoring only those designs that have cleared certain selection criteria. The criteria range from consideration of practicality and workmanship to innovativeness, sustainability, functionality, usability, safety, aesthetics, and universal design. This year, there were some 10,800 entries from 72 countries and regions. Judging was performed by a panel of 132 experts.

Award-Winning Designs

Garment Printers: SureColor SC-F2200 Series
These garment printers can directly print onto T-shirts and other clothes. The compact design of these printers makes them easy to install, expand and transport. Epson has also changed the design of the operating unit to solve the issue of T-shirts being difficult to attach to the previous model. Productivity has also been improved with the new model being made easier to operate. Epson hopes that the product helps contribute to the digitalization of the textile printing industry.
