New MCS Raptor™ Inkjet Controller
Centralized and Remote
Setup
MCS moves you into the future with multi-platform print control in
Windows 7© environments
•
•
The MCS Raptor™ InkJet Controller is a new design that allows one controller to concurrently drive multiple
MCS print technologies. Since 1997, MCS has lead the inkjet industry with the most advanced yet easy to use
industrial inkjet software.
New MCS Raptor Benefits:
• Use the Raptor to drive Eagle (Piezo) and/or Falcon (HP) printheads simultaneously, or independently.
• Example job: Use Falcon HP-based heads for spot color along with the new “stitchless” Eagle 4.25" printer.
• Drive up to 25" of print width with the Raptor. High-Speed Gigabit data channels allow a greater amount of
print at high-speed.
• Existing MCS Eagles are already MCS Raptor-compatible with a small firmware upgrade.
• Smoother fonts and graphics – and crisp barcodes with Enhanced Rasterization Technology™ (ERT™).
• Head-Selectable Resolution:
- Critical high-quality areas can be printed at full resolution.
- Ink savings can be enabled by reducing resolution on some objects.
• New GS1 Databar barcode.
• Optional PDF workflow module.
• PDF Read-and-Print capability with Perfect Match.
• Remote job setup with font usage tracking/missing font detection.
• Increased Input/Output support such as system status notification with external lights.
• Optional INK-OUT alarm light pole.
• Manage ink usage and print quality with software-selectable Eagle drop sizes.
