The Epson Control Dashboard
Epson Control Dashboard helps operators of the SureColour SC-S series of wide format printers to set up and optimise print output parameters in a more time efficient manner.
The Epson Control Dashboard acts as the ‘nerve centre’ for up to four print devices providing the interface to Epson’s growing online database of media profiles.
The SureColour SC-S range of 64 inch wide printers have been designed specifically for the demands of high quality, high productivity signage and display graphics applications. Offering up to 11 colours, including white and metallic, and productivity up to 95 sqm/h, the SC-S series requires minimal operator intervention and delivers automated media alignment, automated printhead cleaning, and auto-tension control for accurate media feed and take up.
There are over 200 different print media types stored in the dashboard database, with new substrate profiles being added continuously. Epson has partnered with third-party RIP manufacturers to ensure compatibility and deliver an efficient user experience regardless of media, RIP or print application.
The Control Dashboard also provides a range of printer status and diagnostic features. As well as displaying information such as ink quantity, preheating information and nozzle checks, it allows device firmware updates and can display service information.
Dominic Fowler, product manager at Epson Europe said, ‘The Control Dashboard gives its operators access to high quality colour profiles and printer settings that both automate setup and optimise print quality. What would have taken an operator several hours to perfect is now available at a click of a button. It’s another demonstration of Epson’s commitment to continual improvement and delivering solutions designed to maximise productivity and profits for today’s print services provider.’
