Epson printers will be available for hands on use at the Studio and are the primary 2D printing solutions featured during the duration of the conference, from Sunday, July 21 through Thursday, July 25 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, Calif."Printing goes very deep in the Studio at SIGGRAPH and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to once again work with Epson to create several interactive printing labs," said Patricia Clark, chair, Studio at SIGGRAPH 2013. "To have Epson participate during our 40th anniversary of SIGGRAPH is significant as well, since printing was the seed that allowed the Studio to become an official venue at the conference. The Studio guests will have a wonderful opportunity to experience the many different aspects of printing."
By visiting the Studio, attendees are able to try out a wide range of new techniques and media with help from experienced hands. Epson will be showcasing the following printing solutions:

- Epson Stylus® Photo R3000: Visitors will be able to air paint a design using body movement with Leap Motion Controller and Corel Painter Freestyle technology, which allows users to control brush strokes through finger movements in the air. Once completed, users can leverage the advanced features and quality of the 13-inch Epson Stylus Photo R3000 printer with UltraChrome K3® with Vivid Magenta pigment ink that delivers gallery quality color output, using their imagery, on canvas media.
- Epson Stylus Photo R2000: Visitors will have several opportunities to experience the versatility of the Epson Stylus Photo R2000 with Epson UltraChrome Hi-Gloss® 2 pigment ink which, delivered through Epson's Advanced MicroPiezo AMC print head, yields beautiful archival prints with an unprecedented glossy look and feel.
