Epson Unveils Home Cinema LS5000, LS6000 and LS7500 4K HDR Laser Projectors
Epson has introduced the Home Cinema LS5000, LS6000 and LS7500 4K HDR laser projectors, expanding its Home Cinema lineup with three new models powered by the company's 3-Chip 3LCD technology. The new projectors produce 2,500 to 3,500 lumens of equal Color Brightness and White Brightness and deliver a full 8.29-million-pixel on-screen image on screens up to 300 inches. The LS5000 and LS6000 use a high-quality Epson Cinema lens, while the LS7500 features a short-throw lens that allows placement a few feet closer to the wall. The new models join the flagship Home Cinema LS11000, which is available now at $4,499.99 MSRP, while the LS7500 at $2,699.99 MSRP, the LS6000 at $2,199.99 MSRP and the LS5000 at $1,999.99 MSRP will be available in late September through the Epson online store and select retailers. All three new projectors include dual HDMI ports supporting 4K HDR content up to 120Hz, Auto Low Latency Mode with input lag below 20ms, and integrated Bluetooth 6.0, and carry a standard two-year limited warranty with full unit replacement.
Seiko Epson has issued a new ¥20 billion unsecured green bond to fund projects aligned with its environmental goals. The climate bond structure ties the funding to specific sustainability uses such as energy efficiency and lower-impact production facilities, and the issuance adds to the growing pool of ESG-focused financing options available to Japanese industrial issuers. The bond is a straight bond priced at 100% and tagged to climate uses, so it looks like regular corporate debt in structure but is ringfenced in purpose. For investors, the key point is that Seiko Epson is choosing the ¥20 billion unsecured green bond instead of tapping shareholders, which keeps ownership unchanged while lifting gross borrowings. The detail to watch is how the bond shows up in the next couple of reporting cycles, once Seiko Epson discloses its updated net debt position, green project allocation and any change in interest expense.
Epson and STOPware Partner for Full-Color Visitor Badge Printing
Epson and STOPware have announced a partnership to integrate Epson's ColorWorks on-demand color label printing technology with STOPware's PassagePoint visitor management platform, enabling organizations to produce full-color, photo-ready visitor badges in real time. The solution, which includes the ColorWorks CW-C4000 and CW-C6000 printers, supports color-coded access levels, department identifiers, logos, and QR codes to enhance security and operational efficiency at visitor sign-in locations. Michael Weitz, product manager for ColorWorks at Epson America, noted the benefits for high-traffic environments such as hospitals, schools, corporate campuses, and government facilities, while STOPware COO Debbie Pendleton emphasized the importance of visual clarity without slowing visitor flow. The partnership aims to replace traditional monochrome or pre-printed badges, which are harder to read and easier to replicate, with a more secure and efficient on-demand printing solution.
