History
Founded by Hisao Yamazaki in 1942, Epson, is a Japanese electronics company and one of the world’s largest manufacturers of computer printers, and information and imaging related equipment. Launching the world’s first mini printer in 1968, Epson has been producing diverse range and lines of printers including inkjet, laser, textile printers and scanners that are widely used at home and offices. Currently Epson is one of the best selling brand in the global market, striving to inspire and empower people with their technology.
14
INTRODUCTION
Since its inception, Epson has passed down and expanded on its traditional strengths as a manufacturing company. Refining the company’s super-microprocessing and precision processing technologies in the development of its watches and then expanding those technologies into other fields led to rapid progress. The breakthrough came with the launch of the EP-101 (Electronic Printer), a popular and groundbreaking product that opened up new markets. It was in the hope of sending future “sons” of this EP out into the world that the Epson brand was founded in 1975. Ever since then, high quality, high-value-added “sons” have been introduced to the market to wide acclaim.

Current logotype doesn’t convey enough information and emotional aspect of what the brand strives to be: ‘Inspring the creatives’,
The current logo is simple and clean but doens’t represent distinct characteristics of the brand.
The typeface and color used on the logo feels very cold and static.
The spacing between the letters feels to tight.

Logo placement fights with the photos used on the packaging.
Bold typeface feels very heavy. Using differnet color on the brand logo feels inconsistent.
The typefaces used are not working coherently.
The layout of the packaging feels very boring and static.
The use of high-contrast primary colors feels very tacky and tech-y.

Refillable Ink
The bold typeface stands out and makes it recognizable but it doesn’t feel sohpicsticated enough to be part of the whole packaging design itself.
The wave illustration feels very old fashioned and tacky.
The bottle design feels very cheap and undesigned.
Although using CMYK colors on the background makes the product distinguishable to each other, it feels very undesigned and unattractive.
Showcasing the product itself on the front of the packaging doesn’t feel sophisticated and inspiring.

Paper
There is no clear visual hierarchy to follow through and it makes it harder to read the information. 2 ways they tell the quality level of the paper is redundant.
The dull color used on the background feels boring and depressing.
Using 2 different languages results too much text used on the packaging which makes it visually busy and consusing.
The texts on the image fights with the informations of the product and harder to focus on the main text.
Size/thickness information of the product is not big enough for people to easily recognize.
The quality mark overlapped with the image is visually distracting.

Retail Display
Ink cartridges Ink cartridges were organized on the back of the counter space, based on brands and cartridge type(Bundle / individual CMYK) and customers could get helped with finding the right cartridge type for their printers. Although the cartridges were nicely organized, sitting next to other brands, Epson’s products weren’t clearly recognizable at a first look.
32
RESEARCH
Paper
Electronics
The papers were under ‘Photo paper’ section, sorted based on the type of the paper(Matte, glossy, size) and brands. It was nicely organized, but Epson’s product looked very similar to HP’s products in color wise.
Printers were in electronics section with other brands. They were showcasing the products on top of the shelves or stacked the packaging box itselft on the shelves. It didn’t look very attractive and organized.
33

Target keeps all of the ink cartridges in the locked shelve. The problem I had when I was looking at the shelves was that there are so many silmilar, but different looking cartridges and how they layed out wasn’t helpful to tell the difference between them.

Ink cartridges Office depot carried ink cartridges on the back of their counters. I assumed it might be the security reasons and ease for both customers and stores to minimize the confusion of finding the right type of the cartridges they need. It was nicely organized, but it felt very unapproachable to not only the product itself but the brand in general.
36
RESEARCH
Paper Unlike the ink cartridges, the papers were on the shelves in the middle of the store with other brands. First of all it was hard to distinguish Epson’s with HP’s product due to their similiar color of the package. Secondly, I had to really look closely into the packagings to tell what kind of papers they are.

Ink
Analysis
The paper and ink pacakging are not cohesive in terms of the color, overall look and feel. Epson uses blue as their brand color, but it’s not distinctive enough compared to other brands.
HP uses black as a brand color for photo papers and ink cartridges. There are a lot of visual elements on the packaging and it looks very busy and hard to read the information. HP uses color system on different ink types. Canon uses bright red as thier brand color. Due to the color, Canon’s product is easy to distinguish but the visual components on the packaging looks very scattered and unprofessional The ink packaging feels very technical and lacks characteristic. Brother uses cobalt blue as their main color. Brother’s products look similar to Epson’s product in terms of color, layout and photographs. Brother use photos of colorful objects like fruit or paint, but it Kodak uses mustard yellow for their brand color. The color stands out but the packaging looks very visually empty and unprofessional and Kodak’s ink cartridge packaging has the most distinct characteristics compared to other brands. 39

Subscription Based Supplies Replenishment Programs

Ink subsciption based on monthly printing needs. No out-of-ink situation
Cartridge-free printer Refillable ink tank Low-cost ink bottles
Hp launched an instant ink service that provides the user HP Ink subscriptions on the basis of their monthly printing needs. Customers have to purchase eligible printer for Instant ink service, and by enrolling in the plan the ink cartridges are shipped to the customers, printer detects when the ink level is low and automatically reoreders ink before it runs out. And customers can recycle the used cartridges by sending them back to HP.
Continuous Ink Supply System refers to printing devices that use catridgefree printer and refillable ink tanks housed in the device. Epson’s eco tank cartridges includes up to 2 years of ink in the box replacement which is equivalent up to 30 ink cartridge sets. It saves up to 80% on ink with low-cost replacement bottles and solves outof-ink frustrations of the customers.
RESEARCH
Ink Refills
Recycling and Remanufacturing
The ink refill service provides customers with a low-cost option for reusing their empty ink supplies that is also eco-friendly. Many environmentally conscious print customers prefer this process to purchasing an entirely new cartridge, which depletes natural resources.
More customers are intentionally shopping for remanufactured aftermarket third party printer supplies knowing that the manufacturing process is eco-friendly and prevents many cartridges from reaching the landfill. With this change in consumer preferences, manufacturers remain strategically focused on reducing their environmental impact with respect to recycling and remanufacturing.

Julia Julia is a design student in LA. She’s been using her all-in-1 printer for both scanning and printing her work.

“Epson’s ink cartridges run out really fast if I print full-bleed images, and it’s a bit annoying when I try to buy new cartridges for my printer. I always have to look up for the type of the ink since I don’t try to remember the ink cartridge number and
they all look the same.”

“I see Epson as a go-to brand for printers and printing supplies for their quality. But they feel really old in terms of their branding and packaging and that makes it hard to connect to this brand even though I use Epson’s products pretty much everyday. And I didn’t know it was a Japanese brand.”

RESEARCH
“I think personal printing in general is a headache inducing experience. The ink dries up fast or the printer needs too much maintenance to keep up with. And ink cartridge packaging seems pretty uniform across the board and it’s difficult
to understand the pros and cons of each.” “Their packagings feel like they are okay with selling “Epson paper plus” next to “Epson paper premium” as if anybody understands the difference between the two withouth reading more into it. “

“This type of printer uses 10 ink cartridges including standard CMYK color. It comes with much larger size, and it’s much heavier.
The packaging is more durable and sturdier than normal ones in order to prevent the damage from the shipping, and pretty straightforward in terms of the strudcture. On the packaging, there are
descriptions on how you can replace it and clean them. No images or photos.”

“Considering the price of their premium papers, the paper packaging feels like a goal oriented design and looks very tacky.” “Also if you think about their users being most likely designers or people in the creative industries, the
current package doesn’t seem to connect to their spirit or user’s preferences.”
“I carry my Epson premium papers inside my plastic folder in order to keep them clean and nice. I don’t want to waste expensive papers. Before I bought this, I taped the
front and the back side of the Epson paper package and used it as a folder to carry papers.”

“I always have to replace the cyan and the clear almost twice as much as everything else. So it doesn’t make sense to
buy the whole set.” “Epson has this eco system around their printer that forces people to use the right Epson paper and the ink in order to get the perfect print result without printer getting clogged, or paper jammed. I don’t know

Insights & Opportunities

Brand identity
Visual systems
Epson’s overall brand identity is not clearly delivering what brand strives for. Epson’s packagings feel outdated and not inspiring. It makes it harder for customers to connect with the brand and overall experience within the brand’s products. Also, it’s difficult to say that the current brand identity stands out compared to its competitors such as HP, Canon or Brother. It makes Epson’s product less distinguishable and less attractive in both the online and retail spaces.
Current packaging lacks clear visual systems and hierarchy on using typefaces, conveying information(matte/glossy, paper quality, paper size, ink color, ink number etc), color and application of the photographs. And it is causing visual distraction on overall packagings and doesn’t hold them together as a family of products.

Sustainability
In current photo paper and ink catridge market, most of the brands including Epson don’t have successful visual language(Color, form) in terms of communicating their core value and connecting with the customers. They are only using colors and imageries to differntiate their packaging system from competitors and not experimenting enough with the form and materials. Epson can outstand in the market by innovating and reinventing new packaging system.
I found out that a lot of people use the package box of Epson presentation paper as a paper carrier/container for their unused/used papers after they open it. It becomes a temporary personal item to keep the papers clean and not get ruined. Thus, the contact point of the paper package and the customer can be prolonged and attractive visual elements on the packagings can help improve the overall experience of the customer.
Despite newly introduced ‘Eco tank’ service, which uses lowcost ink bottles, ink cartridges are still widely used and these cartridges should be re-collected and recycled.

DOSIST was founded with the goal of delivering health & happiness by creating the cannabis products based on the science behind the plant. Their commitment to safe, targeted and effective cannabis-based medicines led to the development of their proprietary delivery device, the dose pen by dosist. Unlike today’s majorities in the cannabis industry are primarily focusing on recreational use and intoxication, Dosist focused on science and innovation. Dosist’s pens deliver a small, precise dose of cannabis’ active ingredients to address specific health concerns, such as anxiety or sleep issues. The design of their packaging and Dose Pens takes medicinal marijuana packaging to new levels. Its friendly package design helps it feel very approacheable to anyone and makes the cannabis experience more enjoyable. Color coding is also making it easy to distinguish different types of its products. The Dosist packaging could easily be put in any regular pharmacy and no one would bat an eye.

CONCLUSION
STRONG Having a working model and an actual model helps the presentation. The slanted angle can be a brand identifier. Created a strong graphic system that can translate to various languages that is easily adaptable to a larger system. New packages can reduce shipping cost and eco footprints. Information graphics are working well.
IMPROVE Think about the audience in 2025 and metion them during the presentation. Consider how it can live in a shelf/ store environment. Challenge yourself to take bottle up to a new level. Think about what if imagery is introduced into the brand. Cream color of the Luster paper packaging can be confusing. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to talk about backside of the package and little symbols. Be more confident on your work and show it throughout the presentation.
