"We are thrilled to have Epson join us again in the Studio at SIGGRAPH, helping attendees experience several different types of interactive printing technologies and applications," said Courtney Starrett, Chair, Studio at SIGGRAPH 2014. "Whether printing original artwork or photography created pre-conference, or using Wacom tablets to create new printable concepts on site, guests can try out a wide array of printing techniques ranging from t-shirts to large-format posters to panoramas on a 13-inch printer."

By visiting the Studio, attendees are able to try out a wide variety of printing technologies, techniques and media with help from experienced hands. Epson will be showcasing the following printing solutions:

As part of the SIGGRAPH Studio, an in-depth interactive course – Design Tips for Digital T-Shirt Printing on Monday, Aug. 11 from 2-3 p.m. in the West Building of Exhibit Hall A – will be conducted by Eddie Murphy, part of the Epson Professional Imaging product management team. Class participants will learn the details and work hands-on to understand the special design considerations that need to be taken into account when working with DTG printers. The attendees will then take their finished designs to be printed on the Epson SureColor F2000 Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printer in the Studio.

"Epson understands the importance of education and collaboration to drive innovative digital media creation and high quality printed output, and the SIGGRAPH Studio is an ideal venue to demonstrate hands on approaches to printing," said Murphy. "In the Studio there is no shortage of unique printable projects, and we're excited to showcase a range of professional printing solutions, including 13-inch professional photo printers, a 44-inch large-format color printer and a purpose-built, direct-to-garment inkjet printer, along with a wide assortment of media."
