Special features
Printheads
●
Printheads — variable drop size, piezoelectric printheads.
Ink system
●
Off-Head System (OHS) — bulk ink boxes with integrated filters. No-drip quick connectors simplify
ink box replacement.
●
Onboard vacuum/pressure (VP) system — provides vacuum to maintain negative printhead
pressure, and air pressure to purge the printheads or ink tubes without removing them from the
printer.
●
Patent-pending automated printhead service station — fully maintains the health of the printheads
while idle or in service, without operator intervention.
Media handling
●
Automatic head height — automatic head height adjustment and patent-pending shuttered UV
lamp system allow the printer to accept rigid sheet-fed media up to 6.35 cm (2.5 in) thick.
●
Automatic media width sensing — automatically detects the width and position of the media loaded,
for precise image placement.
●
Built-in static charge abatement — ionizer bars help dissipate static electric charge from synthetic
media.
●
AutoEdge — automatically aids the loading of rigid sheets by detecting the leading edge.
Calibration
The Advanced Automation Eye uses a high-resolution digital imaging sensor (camera), photodiode, and
embedded software to align the printheads, detect and replace missing jets, linearize output, and
characterize media (with supported RIP).
●
AutoSet calibration — automatically aligns printheads bidirectionally for precise positioning of inkjet
pixels, and runs AutoJet.
●
AutoJet calibration— compensates for lost or misfiring jets by locating them and using substitute
jets without slowing printing speed.
●
Roll-feed AutoTune scheduling — runs AutoJet at user-defined intervals, for highest quality during
unattended roll-fed printing. Optionally, if unsubstituted non-working jets are found, printing stops
until the problem is corrected.
●
Automatic color calibration — linearizes output over the entire density range (with RIP support).
●
Color profiling — creates custom color profiles for third-party media (with RIP support).
