Epson Win Best of the Best Award in the Product Design Category at the 2026 Red Dot Design Awards

Epson EcoTank ET-4950, ET-3950, and ET-2950 inkjet printers have won the Best of the Best Award, the highest distinction in the Red Dot Award: Product Design 2026. This award is bestowed on only a very small percentage of all submissionsThis marks the seventh time that Epson has received the Best of the Best Award.

In addition a scanner, two projectors, two dry-process office papermaking systems, one printer and one I/O box also received a Red Dot Award.

The ET-4950, ET-3950 and ET-2950 are high-capacity EcoTank inkjet printers designed for small offices and home use. The increased number of people working from home or remotely has fuelled interest in workspace designs and environments that are conducive to productivity and comfort. These printers address this with designs that balance usability with an exterior that harmonises with home interiors.

These printers also integrate environmental considerations and offer a longer product lifespan than previous models.

The DS-1730 is a compact A4 flatbed scanner equipped with an ADF*. It helps to improve business efficiency through data digitisation and reduce paper consumption.

An intuitive and easy-to-understand operation panel ensures high usability, while the simple, clean design combining a sense of robustness with gently rounded forms blends seamlessly into office environments.

In addition, the scanner offers greater installation flexibility and enables more efficient use of space thanks to a 25-mm smaller footprint width than previous models.

*Automatic document feeder, a device that automatically scans multiple documents one sheet at a time.
