Epson brings simple profiles solution to users of its Stylus Pro GS6000
Epson has developed a Media Qualification Programme to create a database of recommended substrates and optimised ICC profiles for users of its Stylus Pro GS6000. In a separate move the company has also launched a new range of substrates specifically for its inkjet technologies and products called Production Media for Inkjet
The idea behind the Media Qualification Programme is that it becomes a ‘click and go’ solution for identifying recommended profiles, eliminating the need for creating profiles themselves or re-contacting the Rip vendor each time a different media type or brand is selected.
Working with independent profiling, qualification and testing company, Color Concepts, Epson has invited all media manufacturers producing products suitable for use with the Stylus Pro GS6000 to have their materials tested in order to create ICC profiles for each substrate.
Color Concepts will test the substrates using Rip programs suitable for use with the Epson Stylus Pro GS6000, with the test results then qualified by Epson. The results will form a live database that Epson customers can access at http://epson.color-base.com to instantly reference their media choice and to download the recommended profile settings for its use.
The new Production Media for Inkjet incorporates various products. For the CAD market, the new media is available in both coated and uncoated options. The range also offers dedicated signage materials for the Point of Sale (POS) market. All media is available in rolls of varying widths and can be used on all aqueous Epson Stylus Pro printers.
