Gitex 2020: Epson showcases products to support social distancing in offices and schools

At Gitex Technology Week 2020, Epson will showcase its range of products for businesses and education that also support the current need for social distancing.

This year's demonstration areas, Sustainable Solutions for Business and Smart Solutions for Education, will give a flavour for how technology can deliver utility, as well as support the growing demand for sustainability.

As per Epson's recent survey, 91 per cent of Middle East employees expect a change in the use of shared devices, including printers, as they return to the office. While it's natural that people will be cautious about sharing products, simple software solutions such as Epson's Print Admin mean that printers can be used without the need to touch buttons to retrieve prints.

Also, 89 per cent of those surveyed expect a higher use of green and sustainable technology, to improve the environmental and social impact of businesses post-COVID-19.

This year's demonstration area will highlight the benefits of Epson's Heat-free business inkjet technology which the company says enables its printer range to reduce energy consumption by up 95 per cent compared to laser printers - reducing both cost and CO2 emissions. The lack of heat also means there is no warmup time needed,
