Epson: Innovator Fueled by Piezoelectric Printing Tech

2026-03-23

As a global printing leader, Epson has redefined inkjet printing, with its piezoelectric technology standing as a cornerstone of its success.

Epson entered the printing market in the late 1970s with dot matrix printers like the 1979 TP-80 and 1980 MX-80, gaining a foothold in offices. But 1984’s laser printers exposed dot matrix limitations, pushing Epson to innovate.

That year, Epson launched its first piezoelectric inkjet printer, the IP-130K (SQ-2000 overseas). By 1989, its R&D team adapted piezoelectric elements for printheads, solving voltage and deformation issues with a multi-layer design. The micro-piezo printhead, developed in 1990, entered mass production by late 1992.

The 1993 Epson Stylus 800, equipped with this printhead, revolutionized printing—no heat needed, wide ink compatibility, and high precision. Subsequent upgrades (ML chips, TFP, Precision Core) boosted speed and quality. The 1998 Stylus Photo 700 (1440 dpi, six-color) further expanded Epson’s reach into photo printing.
