Big League Magic, Up Close & Personal: Enchant Any Surface with Short-Throw Precision. The Epson 470W Short Throw Projector is a quiet conjurer of light—perfect for those working with limited space but infinite vision. With a throw ratio of just 0.5:1, it projects an image up to 100 inches wide from less than 4 feet away, letting you cast vivid, shadow-free visuals in rooms where traditional projectors dare not tread.
 
This compact sorcerer is ideal for close-quarters storytelling—transforming tight alcoves, pop-up installations, and intimate stages into luminous dreamscapes. Its 3,000 lumens of brightness ensure your magic cuts through both shadow and daylight, while its horizontal keystone correction keeps your visuals crisp even when the angle isn’t perfect.
 
But where this projector truly shines is when paired with the mystical fabric known as sharkstooth scrim—a semi-transparent mesh used in professional theater to create ghostlike illusions. When lit from the front, it serves as a screen. When lit from behind, it vanishes—revealing what’s hidden in the space beyond. The Epson 470W’s short throw ability allows you to position the projector close enough to paint radiant forms onto the scrim without casting harsh shadows or needing long distances.
 
This makes it perfect for rear-projection mapping, ambient set pieces, mystical reveals, and effects that appear to float in midair. Whether you’re projecting onto scrim, walls, or objects just a few feet away, the 470W creates vast immersive environments within s small carbon footprint
