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).
