Most people here in the UK are acustomed to seeing Energy Saving Recommended (ESR) product labels on products such as kettles, washing machines, freezer units and light bulbs, and will activley out look for them when considering a future purchase. Now, for the first time, the eco freindly logo can be seen on Epson inkjet printers.
The Energy Saving Recommended labelling scheme has created a new product endorsement category; imaging equipment. This brand category covers standard office inkjet printers, inkjet multi-functional devices (MFD) and photo printers.

The Energy Saving Recommended logo is a widely recognised eco benchmark for excellence in energy conservation and highlights the most energy efficient products in the marketplace. We activley urge other manufacturers to follow Epson’s lead and get their inkjet printer products accredited in order to give consumers more energy efficient options.”
