ERS Wins 2026 ColorWorks Partner of the Year For the 4th Time
It’s an absolute pleasure to announce that ERS has taken home the Epson ColorWorks Award for the fourth year in a row!
This award reflects our continued commitment to developing innovative and exceptional colour label printing solutions in collaboration with the ColorWorks range.
Here’s what Epson had to say:
“We’re thrilled to recognise ERS as our ColorWorks Partner of the Year. Their outstanding performance this year reflects not only impressive numbers but a deep commitment to delivering exceptional value to customers. Their relentless drive, strategic approach, and dedication to our shared goals have set a new benchmark for success across the channel. This achievement is truly well deserved, and we’re proud to celebrate their partnership.” - Andrew Coxall, Account Manager.
Why Is ColorWorks So Important to ERS?
ColorWorks isn’t just a product line for us — it’s a true passion for our team. Every label, every print, every project reflects Epson’s world-class technology, and it’s a joy to work with a manufacturer who is aligned with us. From innovation in technology to the best customer experiences to local sustainability initiatives. It all encapsulates what ERS is about.
Our ColorWorks Story
Our relationship with Epson’s ColorWorks range goes right back to the launch, when it instantly felt like the right step beyond our traditional thermal printers. Since then, the partnership has only grown stronger.
We’ve invested in everything from product support to sustainability efforts and sample packs because we genuinely believe in the range and the people behind it.
ColorWorks quickly became a core part of our business, shaping how we support customers and how we continue to grow. Winning Partner of the Year four years running feels like a shared milestone. With new opportunities ahead — including large format printing — we’re excited for what comes next together.
ColorWorks Sustainability Scheme
As our partnership has grown, we’ve also introduced a joint sustainability effort: for every qualifying ColorWorks printer sold, we plant a tree. It’s a simple, shared initiative that lets us give something back to our local community while adding a positive, meaningful layer to the work we do together.
A Few Words From Team ERS
As Steve Ball, our managing director, reflected on the award, he summed up what it truly means to our team:
"Winning Epson’s ColorWorks Label Printer Partner of the Year award for the fourth year in a row means a great deal to me personally. It’s a reflection of the hard work and passion our team puts in every single day, and I couldn’t be prouder of them.”
He noted the importance of continued and close collaboration:
Our relationship with Epson has grown into a true partnership built on trust, openness, and a shared commitment to doing the right thing for our customers. Awards like this don’t happen by chance — they happen because a group of people give their best, consistently, year after year. I’m genuinely grateful to everyone involved and excited for what we’ll achieve together next."
Steve Gibbons, our Head of Sales, added:
“The faith we have in the Colorworks product range and the Epson team who back us up is second to none. We are very excited to work toward a fifth year of success!"
What's Next For ERS & Epson
Our partnership with Epson continues to evolve, and the next chapter is already taking shape. We’re deepening our collaboration with an even stronger focus on customer needs, ensuring every solution we deliver is shaped by real world challenges and feedback.
This year will also see the launch of our new industrial sample packs — a hands on way for customers to explore what ColorWorks can truly do. And with large format printing now firmly on the horizon, we’re excited to expand into new territory together, building on the momentum that’s brought us this far.
