To close the gap between traditional proofing and mockup creation, Epson SC-S80600 driven by GMG ColorProof and GMG OpenColor is used to create color accurate and reproducible prints. Epson SC-S80600 allows proofing to be extended to production substrates or substrates that come very close to the look and feel of the final production.
Download and setup the Epson Control Dashboard Make sure the printer is fully set up with a fixed IP. IP connection is required for the Epson Control Dashboard connection. NOTE: It is important that the COMM driver should not be installed at this stage. This would prevent the correct installation of the Epson Control Dashboard.
Use the Epson Control Dashboard to handle the media and to modify the media settings. On the left side of the Media Settings page you can manage and download Epson .emx media profiles. The .emx files can be sent to a media configuration slot of the printer on the right side.
Sync Printer Media To synchronize the media with the printer use the “Sync Printer Media” function. In case of Epson cloud media the emx can be imported. If .emx is imported a Calibration Set will be generated out of the .emx information.
Calibration Creation Wizard has no functionality to recalibrate a created calibration set. It is only used for the Calibration Set creation. To recalibrate the printer, the normal Calibration Wizard must be used. Epson SC-S80600 - GMG Quick Start Guide page 7...
Profiling with GMG OpenColor Output Condition Database All available output conditions for the Epson SC-S80600 are listed under Database -> Output Conditions. Profile Creation When creating a new project, an output condition can be selected from the database. Once selected, the project is ready for static and dynamic profiles that can be published and used in GMG ColorProof.
Q: Is the Epson Control Dashboard mandatory to use the SC-S80600? A: It is strongly recommended to use the Epson Control Dashboard together with the SC-S80600 to maintain and control the physical media settings. However, it is possible to use the printer without the Control Dashboard.
