With printer business operations spanning the consumer, office, commercial and industrial sectors, Epson has an immense storehouse of ink and media expertise, as well as the ability to produce reliable, durable systems that will operate stably.Epson aims to help customers increase operational efficiency by providing high-speed, low-power business inkjet printers that deliver images of amazing quality at a low cost per print. With PaperLab, Epson aims to give new value to paper and stimulate recycling.PaperLab is a revolutionizing machine that makes fresh, new paper at office premises.Dry Fiber Technology consists of three separate technologies—fiberizing, binding, and forming.Fiberizing:Using an original mechanism, waste paper is transformed into long, thin cottony, fibers.Binding:A variety of different binders can be added to the fiberized material to increase the binding strength or whiteness of the paper or to add color, fragrance, flame resistance, or other properties needed for a given application. Epson plans to put the new "PaperLab" into commercial production in Japan in 2016, with sales in other regions to be decided at a later date. The system can produce about 14 A4 sheets per minute and 6,720 sheets in an eight-hour day. Office-based recycling process: Ordinarily, paper is recycled in an extensive process that typically involves transporting waste paper from the office to a papermaking (recycling) facility. Businesses and government offices that install a PaperLab in a backyard area will be able to produce paper of various sizes, thicknesses, and types, from office paper and business card paper to paper that is colored and scented. 

PaperLab technology:Epson's foundation of compact, energy-saving and high-precision technologies enables the company to achieve small, energy-efficient products that offer outstanding accuracy and performance. Information on the highly portable and always convenient medium of paper is easy to read, easy to digest, and easy to remember. With a PaperLab, however, enterprise will be able to safely dispose of documents onsite instead of handing them over to a contractor. As a leading company in the world of printing, Epson has been deeply involved with paper used for its printer products. Since the PaperLab does not use water, it does not require plumbing facilities. High-speed production of various types of paper: PaperLab produces the first new sheet of paper in about three minutes of having loaded it with waste paper and pressing the Start button.Users can produce a variety of types of paper to meet their needs, from A4 and A3 office paper of various thicknesses to paper for business cards, color paper and even scented paper. That, plus its compact size, makes it easy to install in the backyard of an office. With this in mind, the company set out to develop technology that would change the paper cycle.Epson has developed, what it believes to be, the world's first compact office papermaking system capable of producing new paper from securely shredded waste paper without the use of water. PaperLab breaks documents down into paper fibers, so the information on them is completely destroyed. This process immediately and completely destroys confidential documents. Ordinarily it takes about a cup of water to make a single A4 sheet of paper. Users can expect to purchase less new paper and reduce their transport CO emissions. With PaperLab, Epson is looking to shorten and localize a new recycling process in the office.Forming:Users can produce sheets of A4 or A3 office paper and even paper for business cards thanks to forming technology that allows them to control the density, thickness, and size of paper.Secure destruction of confidential documents: Until now enterprise has had to hire contractors to handle the disposal of confidential documents or has shredded them themselves..Environmental performance aperLab makes paper without the use of water.
