Sentinel iPro is the leading cartridge based ink dispensing system. iPro’s electronic eye monitors the amount of ink in the fountain, and automatically replaces it just where it is needed. iPro therefore reduces run waste from overfilling, ink spoilage and skinning, allows faster color changes, and by maintaining a consistent level of ink it eliminates color variation during the print run.
