Epson Launches New Color Management Tool for Achieving Accurate, Consistent Color
22 April 2024: Furthering its dedication to providing customers with advanced color accuracy, Epson has launched new Auto Chart Reader Accessory and Epson Edge® Color Lite software solution designed to extend color management capabilities for Epson SD-10 Spectrophotometer and Epson Edge Print customers. The comprehensive color management workflow creates color profiles and quickly verifies and calibrates color, helping print shops save time and resources by avoiding reprints due to color inaccuracies. Auto Chart Reader was on display at ISA Sign Expo in Orlando, Florida, USA from 10-12 April 2024.
“Effective color management is paramount for print shops,” shares Eric Holm, product manager, Professional Imaging, Epson America, Inc. “Epson is known for its dedication to color management, accuracy and precision. The Auto Chart Reader, along with the full suite of color management tools including the Epson SD-10 and Epson Edge Color Lite software, equip print shops with a comprehensive solution from a single manufacturer to achieve exceptional color results with Epson professional printers.”
When paired with Epson SD-10, the Auto Chart Reader provides quick, easy and automated color chart measurements. The accessory helps to quickly achieve precise, consistent and repeatable color regardless of changing print conditions. Designed to better control color with little color management expertise needed, it can assist in the creation of ICC color profiles for accurate color on virtually any media. It also verifies color and calibrates profiles over time to keep prints looking great over the life of the printer. The portable solution will automatically detect chart position and media thickness – making operation simple. It is compatible with a variety of media up to 13 mm thick, including textiles, vinyl, acrylic and plastics.
Additional features of the new solution include:
– Quickly and automatically measure charts – Single charts can be measured in about five minutes
– Auto detect chart position and media thickness – Chart boundaries and media thickness are detected automatically for a nearly hands-off experience
– Create ICC profiles for virtually any media – Aqueous, solvent, resin, UV and dye-sublimation Epson print technologies can be profiled 2,3
– Verify existing profiles – Avoid costly misprints due to inaccurate color by using the verification tools to confirm color accuracy
– Compact, portable design – The included travel case makes it easy to travel with and store when not in us
– Developed and supported by Epson – Epson Edge Color Lite drives the SD-10 and Auto Chart Reader from inside existing workflows in Epson Edge Print Pro
