Receiving awards for both photo and printing products clearly demonstrates the quality that runs through our range and reflects Canon’s commitment to imaging excellence" comments, Guido Jacobs, Marketing Director, Consumer Marketing, Canon UK and Ireland.

Mary McNulty, Head of PR and Communications at Epson Europe said: "Epson has shown year after year that we are committed to developing products that are technologically innovative and that set new standards in the industry. We are honoured to be presented with three TIPA awards this year which will fuel our determination to continue providing our customers with outstanding digital imaging products."

TIPA was founded in 1991 as an independent, non-profit Association of European photo and imaging magazines.
