Calling all crafters and papertoy fans, show us your creative flair!
To celebrate the launch of its latest EcoTank ink tank system printer – the ET-3600 - Epson is running a crafty competition called Paperfight. The contest gives crafters the chance to use their creative skills based on the ancient Japanese craft of origami. Whether a complete beginner or a wondrous whizz when it comes to creating paper toys, Epson is looking for imaginative individuals to choose one of five papertoy animals downloaded from the Paperfight website and let creative flair take over!
Entrants are encouraged to get creative with colours, textures, props and backgrounds to create something different and unique. Once a photo of their chosen papertoy is uploaded to Epson’s Paperfight website (www.epson.co.uk/paperfight), it will be judged by a jury who will decide who has been the most creative and crowned the Paperfight champion 2016.
The winner will receive an ET-3600 EcoTank printer and goodie bundle and will be entered into the Paperfight grand final. The overall European winner will then also win the grand prize of a goodie bundle and an Epson EB-U04 projector, great for watching family movies at home.
We’ll also be giving away our exclusive Epson Paperfight T-shirts and kids’ DVDs in spot prize giveaways throughout the competition. All entrants to the competition will automatically receive a 15% off voucher code that can be redeemed on the Epson Store against any EcoTank product.

About the EcoTank ET-3600
The ET-3600 is designed to make everyday printing even easier and more affordable. It automatically prints on both sides of a page, cutting paper usage in half and reducing running costs even further.
Representative of the wider EcoTank system, the ET-3600 offers a hassle-free and low-cost solution for everyday printing at home. A welcome relief for those printing high volumes frequently, the ultra-high-capacity ink tank system eradicates the need for cartridges, freeing the user from cartridge purchases and replacements. In their place, the ET-3600 is bundled with two sets of high-volume ink bottles1, which allow the user to print up to an impressive 11,000 pages in black and colour2. This means it provides an extremely low cost per page and is capable of printing many more pages between refills.
While this printer is sure to reduce printing costs by up to 70% on average3, customers can also be confident in its quality. It delivers clear, sharp and precise prints thanks to Epson's durable and reliable Micro Piezo technology and Epson’s genuine inks. For peace of mind, the ET-3600 comes with a extended warranty of up to three years or 50,000 pages.
For ease of use, the ET-3600 is also equipped with Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct, allowing the user to take advantage of the Epson Connect4 features such as remote and email printing from smartphones and tablets.
