"Print service providers need fast, accurate production data in order to maximise profits, increase efficiencies and reduce waste," said Inca Digital Printers sales and marketing director Heather Kendle.

"ReporterPro gives users access to metrics on printer use and performance across multiple machines, helping deliver increased transparency on job costs and production efficiency."

Data provided include machine uptime, productivity and ink consumption. Reports can be generated on a machine-by-machine or across multiple devices and can be analysed over a defined time or by customer.

The firm claimed that data from ReporterPro can be used to improve estimating and production planning.

Users can specify the metrics used in their dashboards and it is also possible to export data to external applications such as an MIS or spreadsheets.

ReporterPro, which is compatible with Inca Spyder and Onset machines, will be supplied by Fujifilm.
