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).
