Epson has launched the Auto Table for the SD-10 spectrophotometer to make colour management easier and more reliable.
The company says the Auto Table for the SD-10 spectrophotometer addresses and rebuffs the common perception that colour management is time consuming and requires high technical knowledge and skills.
Epson describes the SD-10 as an easy to use, full-featured colour measuring device that combines with the new Auto Table and Epson Edge Color Lite colour management software to offer a genuine colour management solution that addresses most colour management requirements and maximises print output quality.
It adds that the new solution delivers quick auto measurement, enabling operators to create an ICC profile by measuring only 379 patches (1 x A3 sheet) and quick verification by measuring the chart with just 80 patches.
Colour matching
The Auto Table also helps solve colour matching problems in a range of print and design-related work, such as those commonly found in the sign and display and textile industries. It enables you to create media profiles easily and quickly without any technical knowledge or skills. You can also verify and unify output colour among multiple Epson printers and calibrate and maintain stable output colour for long periods on the same printer.
For enhanced usability, the new Auto Table supports colour chart media sizes up to 331mm high, 13mm thick and virtually any length. It detects media position and thickness automatically through the optical sensors with auto measurement taking five minutes for an A3 colour chart.
Epson lists additional key features:
• Easy and simple operation: fully automated chart reading operation and all functions of Epson Edge Color Lite are integrated in Epson Edge Print PRO and can be operated simply and intuitively without any technical knowledge or skills.
• High quality gradation: Epson Edge Color Lite can produce smooth gradation without significant gamut downsizing.
• Gamut viewer: users can visually check and compare the specified gamut of profiles.
• Fluorescent media profile: Epson Edge Color Lite allow users to create optimised fluorescent colour media profiles for fluorescent capable Epson printers such as the SC-F6460H and SC-F10060H.
Epson also offers a new optional silicon cover for the SD-10 spectrophotometer to improve the scratch resistance and a new optional SD-10 alignment guide which makes it even easier to adjust the SD-10 colour measurement point.
Epson expects to ship the new Epson Auto Table for the SD-10, SD-10 silicon cover and SD-10 alignment guide to New Zealand this month.
