Deal to bolster medical imaging systems

Epson America has reached an agreement with Royal Philips Electronics that will allow it to automatically to pair its Workforce all-in-one printers with the company's ultrasound medical imaging systems used in healthcare clinics and hospitals in the US and abroad, reports Printer Comparison.

The pairing is accomplished through Epson's ESC/P-R Print Class Driver, which reportedly enables users to print to a full line of Epson inkjet printers from a wide variety of digital equipment.

ESC/P-R is a common language for selected Epson printers that supports every media type, paper size and associated printing mode available on those printers.
