ECI Software Solutions has announced Printinista certification of the Capsul printer line from Image Star, its device management solution for the office technology industry.

Printanista, powered by ECI's Data Collection Agent (DCA), remotely captures print volumes, device status and service alerts from tens of millions of devices each day. The new certification ensures that Capsul printers and multifunction devices can be seamlessly monitored and managed within Printanista, giving office technology dealers real-time visibility and control over their fleets.

"This certification strengthens an already longstanding strategic relationship between ECI and Image Star," said Laryssa Alexander, president, Field Service Division, ECI. "By validating Capsul printers with Printanista, we're giving dealers another layer of reliability and choice as they grow their managed print services programs. It's another step forward in our commitment to connect the industry through smarter, more integrated solutions."

Image Star has been a longtime ECI strategic alliance through PO Processor, which automates supply order workflows by directly integrating with leading vendors. Image Star also leverages ECI's DCA technology to power its Suite Fleet MPS program. Adding Printanista certification for the Capsul line reinforces both vendors' shared focus on reliability, efficiency and dealer enablement.  

"We design all Capsul products with the independent reseller in mind, which is why we prioritize aggressive pricing without compromising on the features users need," said Philip Crean, chief commercial officer, Image Star. "MPS is a prime growth opportunity for the channel in multisite and SMB accounts where Capsul's value stands out. For our partners, ECI's impressive suite of device management tools makes it a first-choice solution, so we are excited to offer Printanista certification for a seamless experience. Paired with Image Star's e-automate PO Processor partnership, it gives dealers a turnkey solution for Capsul supply fulfillment."

This latest initiative marks a further evolution in the relationship between ECI and Image Star, reinforcing both companies' commitment to delivering more connected, data-driven solutions for the office technology industry.
