- TOKYO, Japan, January 24, 2013 -

Epson today announced that 105 Epson-branded printers worldwide support AirPrint. AirPrint makes it simple to print emails, photos, web pages, and documents directly from iPad, iPhone or iPod touch without having to connect software, drivers or cables. AirPrint support is an important part of Epson's commitment to make mobile printing more convenient and productive.

"Epson's widespread support of AirPrint demonstrates our global leadership and commitment to providing customers with easy printing solutions that meet their evolving mobile business and personal lifestyle," said Ian Cameron, general manager, Global Web & Communications, Seiko Epson Corporation. "We recognized some time ago that mobile printing wasn't just a novel idea, it was a necessary requirement for both sharing memories and mobile productivity in a rapidly changing digital marketplace. As iPhone and iPad momentum continues to grow, Epson will continue to lead the development of various innovative mobile digital imaging solutions."

Epson has expanded its current AirPrint-enabled printers by more than 80 percent from last year, providing customers with a wide array of mobile printing options. A total of 105 Epson AirPrint-enabled printers allow applications to create Epson-quality photos and documents.

AirPrint is an iOS printing system and is already integrated into commonly used apps such as Mail, Photos, Safari and iBooks. There are also many more apps available on the App Store™ that utilize AirPrint so Epson's large selection of AirPrint-enabled printers make it more convenient for users to print directly from their iOS device.
