Epson has announced that it is showcasing its range of latest products targeted at the banking and financial sector, at the first Middle East International Banking, Financial Technology and Services Exhibition and Conference (MEFX) being held from June 01 to 03, 2008, at the Sheikh Rashid Hall (booth C4-1), Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre, Dubai, UAE.
Visitors to MEFX 2008 will be able to evaluate for themselves a wide range of solutions from Epson. Ranging from the company’s most established and popular products, to innovative solutions based on unique, breakthrough technology, the products on display are all designed to bring flexibility, efficiency and reliability to today’s banking environment and financial applications.
Khalil El Dalu, General Manager, Epson Middle East, said, “The MEFX is the ideal platform for us to demonstrate the capabilities of our printing and scanning solutions for the banking sector. Visitors to our stand will have an opportunity to see first-hand, Epson’s cutting-edge solutions that are designed to maximise productivity and reduce costs.”
As the need for ECC (Electronic Cheque Conversion) becomes increasingly important, the demand for devices which support this functionality is also growing. Epson’s recently-introduced TM-S1000 cheque and coupon scanner uses unique algorithms and binary image processing to deliver the market’s highest MICR accuracy, along with ultra-high reliability and easy maintenance. The TM-J9000/J9100 cheque scanner also offers high MICR performance, as well as an integrated, high-resolution inkjet printer that features Epson's exclusive TransScan™ digital cheque imaging technology that captures a two-sided image of the cheque in seconds. The TM-J9000/J9100 also includes a range of other timesaving and security-enhancing features.
Another growing requirement in the financial sector is to print documents such as passbooks, transaction slips and visas, quickly and reliably. Epson’s PLQ-20 passbook printer is designed to handle high volumes of such documents with ease, and is widely used by leading banking organisations such as Arab Bank, Housing Bank and Cairo Amman Bank. With high levels of connectivity, powerful integration features and easy installation, it brings a new level of flexibility to the financial environment.
An acknowledged innovator and pioneer in printer technology, Epson also offers a range of fast and powerful transaction printers that make effective use of colour. The TM-J7000 receipt printer series produces high-resolution 2-colour printing, using Epson’s proven SEAJet printing technology, which gives sharp, easy to read results, with no fading. Able to print text, complex graphics, barcodes and coupons these products are ideal for brand differentiation and effective messaging in a busy service environment. Combined with MICR capability, this series increases functionality via a single device at the teller point.
Also among the products on display will be Epson’s DFX-9000 dot-matrix printer. Although dot-matrix printers are not at the leading-edge of developments, they remain the only effective way of printing multi-part stationery, and have other recognised virtues such as high reliability and cost-effectiveness. Epson has a full range of dot-matrix printers, and the DFX-9000 is one the most highly performing, reliable and cost-efficient of its type from any manufacturer.
Visitors to the Epson stand will also be able to see the Epson Discproducer PP-100. Able to burn and print CD/DVD media fully automatically, it brings a new level of convenience, reliability and cost-effectiveness to volume disk copying.
