Epson and Philips partner to offer printing solutions for ultrasound medical devices

Epson America has signed an agreement with Royal Philips Electronics (NYSE: PHG | PowerRating) (AEX:PHI) under which the Epson ink jet printers and WorkForce all-in-ones, designed specifically for business environments, will be paired with Philips ultrasound medical imaging systems in healthcare clinics and hospitals in the US and around the world, wherever Epson printers
are available. Financial details of the agreement were not available.

This is reportedly possible as a result of the unique Epson ESC/P-R Print Class Driver which enables users to print to a full line of Epson ink jet printers from a wide variety of digital equipment.

The Epson ESC/P-R Print Class Driver supports applicable media types, paper sizes and associated printing modes suitable for Philips ultrasound systems and Epson inkjet printers.
