Epson printer ink used at the Oscars February 25, 2011 12:23 by Chris Rails

Epson printer ink is set to be used once again to produce official credentials for attendees of the Oscars.

According to Epson, its products have been favoured by organisers of the Annual Academy Awards for more than a decade.

The firm said the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has "called upon Epson printers to swiftly print thousands of flawless, borderless colour credentials" for 12 years now.

And this year, in which the 83rd Academy Awards ceremony will be staged, will be no different.

Deborah Cahn, manager of credential operations at the Academy, commented: "I've trusted Epson printers for years."

The event will take place on Sunday February 27th and speculation on who could walk away with a gong is building up.

Colin Firth is widely tipped to pick up an Oscar for the Best Actor following his performance in The King's Speech, as he picked up a similar accolade at the recent Baftas.
