Epson, a world leader in digital imaging and printing solutions has unveiled the Epson LQ-50 bill printer - the company latest and most compact serial impact dot matrix (SIDM) printer that is designed to help retailers produce high quality bills that impress customers in place of traditionally handwritten ones. This is especially important for industries where legibility is crucial - like the pharmaceutical trade where bills detailing batch codes and expiry dates must be clearly read and understood by customers.

Designed in Japan with the Indian retail market specifically in mind the Epson LQ-50 is the culmination of 2 years of collaboration between the Epson India team and Epson Japan product development team. Noticing the lack of a suitable printer to cater to specific requirements of certain sectors in retail the LQ-50 was created after extensive research and field tests conducted in the market place. The Epson LQ-50 is at least thirty percent smaller than other Epson SIDM printers and is specifically designed for retail outlets where counter space is a premium. Another class-leading feature that makes the Epson LQ-50 extremely user-friendly is its ability to print up to 6-inch wide fanfold paper or 5-inch wide normal roll receipts for greater versatility in printing options. Keeping in mind India's diversity in languages the LQ-50 also comes equipped with 10 Indian languages in built. They are Assamese, Bengali, Devnagiri, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Oriya, Punjabi, Tamil, and Telegu In addition, the Epson LQ-50 has low running costs as its ribbons and paper media are highly affordable, thereby enabling retailers to save on overhead costs.
