Digital imaging specialist, Epson has been presented with three of Europe's most distinguished photo and imaging accolades at the Technical Image Press Association Awards 2009. The Epson Stylus Photo PX800FW has been named Best Multifunction Photo Printer in 2009’; the Epson Stylus Pro GS6000 has won 'Best Large Format Printer in 2009' and the Epson EH-TW5000 was named 'Best Expert Photo Projector in 2009'

TIPA has 29 member magazines from thirteen countries, making it one of the largest and most influential photographic and imaging press associations globally. Every year, TIPA editors vote for the best products introduced in Europe during the previous 12 months, taking into account innovation, the use of leading-edge technology, design and ergonomics, ease-of-use and, significantly in the current economic climate, the price to performance ratio. These three accolades follow a tradition of success for Epson at the TIPA Awards.

Capping Epson's TIPA Award success, the EH-TW5000 was named 'Best Expert Photo Projector in 2009'. With an impressive 75,000:1 contrast ratio and the most advanced state-of-the-art features, this projector delivers the best HD 1080p home cinema experience. The TIPA judging panel said: "Epson achieves an amazing dynamic contrast ratio of 75,000:1, thanks to the new D7 C2 Fine panels, advanced DeepBlack technology and an improved E-TORL lamp to minimise light leakage and ensure the deepest blacks." The judges also recognised the benefits of Epson's innovative 3LCD technology, allowing the Epson EH-TW5000 to provide brighter images, more accurate colour reproduction and finer grey scaling than ever before.
