Epson is present at the official opening of GITEX Africa (www.GITEXAfrica.com), the eagerly anticipated technology event, with a selection of high-performance products created especially for startups and small businesses. These products provide them with dependability, mobility, and durability to help them increase productivity and competitiveness.
The corporate environment has been rapidly changing recently as a result of technological breakthroughs and rising environmental consciousness. Startup companies are now essential to the expansion of the economy not only in Morocco but also in the rest of North Africa.
Startup companies are increasing, according to a recent Statista report in the North African region. 61,000 new enterprises have been registered in Morocco, with 18,000 for Tunisia and 14,000 for Algeria in 2023 alone. The fact that startups play a significant role in developing economies is promising.
Technology-based goods have evolved into crucial business tools that help companies increase productivity, improve processes, and maintain market dominance. Additionally, as companies look to reduce their environmental impact and adopt sustainable practices, sustainability has become a crucial factor to be taken into account.
In order to better supply goods and solutions that fulfill their increasing requirements while supporting sustainability, Epson conducted a survey[1] with Averty Market Research and Intelligence. The company’s goal was to understand the unique demands, difficulties, and objectives of startup firms.
According to the report, an overwhelming majority of these startups (85%) believe that technology is essential to the development and management of their company. while asked how important it is to take sustainability into account while developing technology goods, a resounding 82% of the entrepreneurs said it was crucial for their operations, and 65% said environmental protection was a top issue.
Saving money through procurement cost reductions (68%) and maintenance cost reductions (65%) was obviously essential, but time savings (85%) was the most crucial element for these beginning enterprises. This makes sense in light of the work required to launch a firm and the requirement to maximize every opportunity.
These outcomes in fact show a high level of maturity on the part of the entrepreneurs who participated in the survey, who assessed the value of technology in their development strategy as well as the advantages of technology acquisition for their company’s success.
Epson develops solutions that enable time savings, energy savings, cost savings, and the reduction of a company’s carbon footprint in order to assist other businesses and people in achieving their goals with the use of technology.
Epson will be participating in the GITEX Africa Supernova Pitch competition by supporting the top submissions with specialized Epson technology solutions and showcasing a wide range of goods and solutions catered to the needs of startup companies.
Printers EcoTank
A printing option without cartridges is Epson EcoTank. For companies concerned about their environmental effect, EcoTanks are a wonderful option because one ink bottle is comparable to 79 ink cartridges, reducing plastic waste. Up to three years’ worth of ink is supplied. You have enough ink to print up to 14,000 pages right away. As a result, you save time and money by not having to replace cartridges as frequently. It is easy to set up, refilling is hassle-free, and it is dependable, producing page after page of high-quality prints. Epson is the top ink tank supplier globally, selling more than 80 million EcoTanks.
Printing labels
The Epson booth at GITEX Africa will include a number of internal labeling options. Businesses gain flexibility by being able to generate labels as needed by bringing labeling in-house. Additionally, since there is no minimum number, which frequently occurs when ordering shipping labels from a third party, there will be less waste. Because labels do not need to be transported or kept, this also lowers a company’s carbon footprint.
Solutions for mobile POS
When quick, easy, and dependable receipt printing is crucial, mobile point of sale printers are excellent. They provide the ideal fusion of portability, connectivity, dependability, and simplicity of use. Without restricting opportunities based on location, they are made to fulfill the needs of a wide spectrum of expanding businesses, allowing firms to operate from food trucks or even market places, for example.
Textile printers
Epson provides a number of Direct to Garment (DTG) printing options that are perfect for tote bags, t-shirts, polo shirts, and other fabric goods. This entails printing that is quicker and of higher quality, with less intervention and the flexibility to generate your own designs.
A portable picture printer
Compact photo printers in the SureLab SL-D1000 Series support duplex printing for adaptable commercial production. The series was created for photo labs, photographers, and companies that must print high-quality images and provide consumers with a variety of products, such as personalized photo books, cards, and calendars. Retail photography, event and photo boxes, stationery, hotels, cafés, pubs, and restaurants are just a few of the companies that could profit.
AM-C4000 WorkForce Enterprise
The new Workforce Enterprise AM Series inkjet printers from Epson focus on fast, environmentally friendly, and heat-free printing. The new Workforce Enterprise AM-Series, which makes use of Epson’s Heat-Free technology, completes the company’s line of commercial printers. The new range, which rounds out Epson’s business inkjet lineup, offers print speeds of 40 to 60 pages per minute.
The products’ small size and light weight reduce the amount of resources consumed in their manufacture and delivery. In addition to decreasing material use, shipping, storage, and consumable end-of-life management costs, high yield ink cartridges significantly save downtime for routine maintenance.
Compared to laser printers, business inkjet printing can consume up to 90% less energy.
