Micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the Philippines have been advancing through different stages of their digital transformation journeys over the past few years. While often underestimated, printing capabilities are crucial in optimizing digital workflows. Key business functions such as document generation (receipts, invoices, contracts, reports), operational efficiency (shipping labels, inventory tags, production orders), and customer engagement (marketing and packaging materials) all heavily depend on reliable printing solutions.
Epson, a leader in printing technology, offers high-performance solutions tailored to the diverse needs of MSMEs. Whether it’s high-volume printers or printers integrated into cashless payment systems, Epson’s products are designed to be efficient, compact, and precise. Additionally, these solutions align with Epson’s commitment to sustainability, utilizing heat-free technology and reducing waste as part of their “Engineered For Good” philosophy.
“Epson supports MSMEs in streamlining and digitalizing their workflows, allowing more room for innovation and creativity,” said Masako Kusama, President and Director of Epson Philippines. “We stand by MSMEs at every step, ensuring their printing capabilities are fully digital. Epson not only enhances the digitalization technologies that MSMEs need, such as cashless payments, but also integrates sustainability at every touchpoint. We are proud to be a partner in strengthening the backbone of the Philippine economy.”
Epson in the era of digital payments
Epson offers a range of point-of-sale (POS) printers tailored for retail and F&B MSMEs. One standout option is the Epson TM-m30II-SL, which transforms traditional cash registers into digital systems with its built-in tablet mount and peripheral support. This printer is designed for easy and flexible setup, even in tight spaces. The TM-m30II-SL also features USB-Network-Tethering, enabling a network connection to tablets in areas where wireless connectivity is unreliable.
Other compact models include the Epson TM-P20II and TM-P80II, which are known for their fast printing speeds and dependable performance.
For F&B and hospitality businesses, the Epson TM-L100 is designed to withstand harsh kitchen environments and high temperatures. It is ideal for handling online orders, with Server Direct Print functionality allowing it to retrieve orders from a web server and print receipts without needing POS software integration.
Enhancing Brand Presentation with Epson
Even as MSMEs embrace digital transformation, high-quality and customized packaging labels remain essential for effective brand communication with customers.
The Epson ColorWorks CW-C6550 is designed for high-volume label printing and includes features like an auto-cutter for efficient bulk packaging production. For moderate volumes, the Epson CW-C4050 offers durability with pigment inks and vibrant colors with dye-based inks, ensuring eye-catching labels.
For office environments, the WorkForce Pro WF-C879R Multifunction Business Inkjet Color Printer delivers speed with a first page-out time of just 5.5 seconds, making it perfect for low-maintenance, high-volume printing of office documents. The WF-C879R also includes a scanner that captures every color in fine detail, providing a comprehensive solution for business printing needs.
Efficient printing capabilities
For materials like invoices, statements of accounts, and reports, MSMEs have a broad selection of Epson printers that offer efficiency, speed, and sustainability.
The Epson AM-C4000, C5000, and C6000 are heavy-duty inkjet models designed for high-volume, high-speed black-and-white A3 printing, making them ideal for MSMEs with significant printing needs. For smaller businesses with moderate printing volumes, the AM-C400 and AM-C550 provide efficient A4 document printing.
As a socially responsible company, Epson is committed to sustainability throughout the entire lifecycle of its printers. From manufacturing to recycling empty ink cartridges, Epson is mindful of its environmental impact and adheres to both international and local environmental standards.
By choosing Epson, MSMEs not only enhance their operational efficiency with reliable printing solutions but also support sustainable business practices.
