The electronic sensor monitors the amount of ink in the fountain and automatically adds ink when and where needed. With the Sentinel system, customers experience ink savings of up to 15-20%, savings through reduced waste ink disposal, improved color consistency and increased productivity. The Sentinel iPro provides ink data reporting that shows exactly how much ink was used on a particular job, allowing for more accurate ink tracking and job cost estimating. Sentinel iPro is constructed with durable cast metal construction, and belt drives with stepper motors to ensure years of smooth, trouble free operation. Flash programmable micro-controller allows updates without changing components in the dispensing head.
