Convert EC3 to PRINTCD2

Understanding EC3 and PRINTCD2 file formats

The EC3 file format is commonly associated with the Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS), which is used for maritime navigation. These files contain electronic navigational charts that are essential for safe and efficient navigation at sea.

On the other hand, the PRINTCD2 file format is used by Epson's Print CD software. This format is specifically designed for creating and printing labels directly onto CDs and DVDs using compatible Epson printers.

Converting EC3 to PRINTCD2

Converting an EC3 file to a PRINTCD2 file is not a straightforward process due to the distinct purposes and data structures of these formats. However, if you need to incorporate navigational data into a CD label, you might consider extracting the necessary information from the EC3 file and manually inputting it into the Print CD software.

Best software for conversion

Since there is no direct conversion tool available for EC3 to PRINTCD2, you can use the following approach:

• ECDIS Viewer: Use an ECDIS viewer to open and view the EC3 file. Extract the necessary data or take screenshots if needed.
• Epson Print CD: Open the Epson Print CD software and manually input the extracted data or use the screenshots to design your CD label. Navigate to File → Import to add images or data.

This method allows you to incorporate the essential information from the EC3 file into a PRINTCD2 format for printing purposes.
