A wide range of ‘standard’ and ‘pro’ models provide XGA, WXGA and WUXGA resolution at 4,500-7,000 lumens in a chassis weighing less than 10kg. All are packed with innovative features, including the ability to project onto corners and curves and onto the ceiling, floor or wall. The inclusion of 360-degree rotation, horizontal and vertical lens shift, pixel alignment, colour uniformity and HDBaseT (‘pro’ models only) gives system integrators installation flexibility and advanced image control. All models in the range are compatible with Epson’s EB-G5000 interchangeable lenses and are sufficiently light for installation by a single technician. EB-W16SK BETT 2013 also marks the first UK appearance of the EB-W16SK, Epson’s first passive 3D projector system. The EB-W16SK teams up two 3,000-lumen projectors in a special mount to provide affordable, easy-to-use 3D for, museums, leisure, hospitality, education establishments and other venues wanting to deliver bright 3D content to large audiences. The low cost of the polarised 3D glasses required by passive 3D makes the technology ideal for big audiences and ensures the EB-W16SK delivers a low cost of ownership.  An automatic alignment feature ensures the EB-W16SK is easy to set up. Graeme Davidson, business manager for visual imaging at Epson UK, says: “As the UK’s leading exhibition for the education sector, BETT provides Epson with the ideal venue for demonstrating the EB-G6000, our strongest installation projector series to date, and our first passive 3D projection system, both of which bring new levels of functionality and reliability to the education market.” The EB-G6000 Series is available from March 2013 and the EB-W16SK is available now.  WorkForce Pro WP-4000 Series At BETT there will be a number of demonstrations of Epson’s award winning single-function printers and the WorkForce Pro WP-4500 Series of multi-function printers.  With a 50% lower cost per page and up to 80% lower power consumption than laser counterparts, they are a cost efficient and energy saving addition to any classroom.  These high-speed inkjet printers offer a genuine alternative to laser products and provide further cost savings due to a super-fast automatic double-sided printing function, reducing paper usage.
