Four new Epson Stylus Pro printers have been installed at the University of Huddersfield to meet 'increasing demand' for colour and mono prints at the School of Art, Design and Architecture. Two 24"-wide (0.6m) Epson Stylus Pro 7890 printers, a 24" 7900 and a 44" (1.1m) 9890 complement the university's existing range of Epson kit including a 64" (1.6m) Stylus Pro 11880.

"The printers were performing well, giving us excellent quality mono and colour reproduction and were very easy to operate, but with demand increasing we had to look at investing in more technology," explains George Stewart, IT technician, School of Art, Design and Architecture Print Bureau. "We looked at other brands but decided we wanted to stick with Epson. It's a brand we trust and we had been very impressed with the printers' reliability and cost-effectiveness."

The new kit was supplied by Digital Photo Solutions to help the University cater to around 2,800 students studying design-related subjects. "The Epson printers allow us to print on an extensive array of media and are very well suited to the work we produce, from fine drawings to posters and banners to wallpaper, we can print it all here," Stewart concludes.
