Epson, one of the world's leading manufacturers of printers and imaging equipment for home and business, donates 100 EcoTank printers to Israeli non-profit organizations that specialize in educating children and youth.

Giving back to the community

According to Eli Hazan, sales manager for the retail market from Epson Israel, the contribution of printers to children and teenagers is the company's way of giving back to the community in which the company operates.

"It's a wonderful feeling to see that children in the periphery and those who do not enjoy day-to-day access to technology are given the opportunity to upgrade their abilities. We believe that every child deserves a good start in life and access to contemporary technology is without a doubt one of the winning tools. "Maika, in a resource-free environment, shares the same worldview that sees access to education and technological tools that promote education, as a supreme value. We are happy that we can help children dream big and fulfill their dream for a better future."

Hazan noted that one of the great advantages of Epson's EcoTank inkjet printers is the fact that they have abandoned the use of expensive and polluting ink cartridges and switched to using large, extremely economical ink cartridges and those that help preserve the environment - "an important educational value in itself".

Bolt - The Epson "Face"

Earlier this year Bolt was chosen to be used in a campaign entitled Just Fill and Chill - "Just Fill and Forget", as the "face" of Epson's EcoTank printers.

Bolt, who holds the Guinness record with a 100-meter dash (9.58 seconds) and eight gold medals, said he was happy to connect with Epson and spread the word about its printers and that he only collaborates with brands he believes can make a difference in public life. .

"EcoTank printers remove many of the frustrations of those who still use printers equipped with polluting ink cartridges, but, it's much more than that ... Epson and I share the same values ​​that build a better future," Usain said.

"Epson printers help communities flourish. For me, it's about being able to show others that they have to follow their dreams, big or small."

Since the launch of inkjet printers in 2010, the company has sold over 60 million cost-effective EcoTank printers to companies, businesses and users worldwide.

According to Hazan, the savings are possible due to the use of large ink bottles instead of cartridges, which allow users to enjoy continuous and long-term use, without having to run every two days to the store to stock up on more ink.

Epson's new generation of printers incorporates the Micro-Peizo Heat Free technology, which makes it possible to enjoy much lower power consumption and the need to replace consumable parts, thus helping the company to preserve the environment.
