Epson today announced it is the winner of two 2015 Professional Photographer Hot One Awards, which honors the hottest products for professional photographers. The Epson SureColor® P600 13-inch professional photo printer and Metallic Photo Paper were named Best Inkjet Printer and Best Inkjet Paper, respectively.
“The winners of the 2015 Hot One Awards represent the pros’ choice of the year’s photographic products,” said Joan Sherwood, senior editor, Professional Photographer. “The Hot Ones recognize excellence in professional products as judged by the pros who use them. As talented as photographers can be, they still have to rely on their gear, software, professional services, and the products they sell. Their choices for the Hot Ones give our readers a list of worthy winners to consider for themselves.”
For the past 15 years, the Hot One Awards have provided Professional Photographer’s readers with a resource of the newest, most innovative products available in a variety of price ranges. Readers are treated to a resource compiled by independent, practicing professional photographers, selected for their expertise and knowledge. This year’s independent panel of more than 35 judges voted on products that ranged from cameras and lenses to albums and displays. They made their selections based on overall quality, innovation, design, performance, and value for the price.
“We are honored to receive two of these coveted industry awards, underscoring the impact Epson professional printer and paper solutions have on the photography market,” said Larry Kaufman, product manager, Professional Imaging, Epson America, Inc. “The SureColor P600 represents the new benchmark in 13-inch desktop photographic printing, and when paired with Epson Professional fine art and photo media, such as the Metallic Photo Paper Luster or Gloss, photographers and enthusiasts can output each digital capture at the highest quality possible and preserve the legacy of their prints for years to come.”
