The SpectroProofer-UVS range is designed for the OEM’s Stylus Pro machines.
The SpectroProofer-UVS range of spectrophotometers, which are set to be released later this month, are designed for Epson’s 17-inch, 24-inch and 44-inch Stylus Pro wide-format printers, and are “in-line” products developed alongside X-Rite, as well as being “driven by industry-leading supporting RIP technology”.
The products, which fit into the printer housing as an additional feature, allow for colour consistency between the three different ranges of Stylus Pro machines, and are said by Epson to be “ideal for commercial graphics, package proofing and remote proofing applications”, with current SpectroProofer series owners given the option to upgrade to the new models “to ensure full compatibility with the latest industry standards”.
The spectrophotometers “provide automated colour management and verification-related tasks”, according to Epson, for “a wide variety of proofing applications”, and they also support the M1 measurement illumination standard, as well as being UV-selectable between M1 and M2. Additionally, the UVS range support up to 50 percent more patches per scan, and also have “slightly faster measurement times”.
Larry Kaufman, Product Manager for Professional Imaging at Epson America, stated: “The new SpectroProofer-UVS models were designed based on direct feedback from customers, and build on the more than five years of success of the current SpectroProofer series. Combined with the industry leading colour gamut of the Epson UltraChrome HDR ink set used in the Epson Stylus Pro 900-series printers, Epson continues to be the number one choice for serious prepress proofing professionals.”
