PRINTER
Machine type
Mid-volume UV flatbed printer
Printing method
Piezoelectric inkjet
Number of nozzles
8-channel piezoelectric inkjet system with one 636-nozzle, variable droplet printhead per channel.
Ink configuration
CMYKcm W/V
Image technology
piezoelectric inkjet system with variable droplet printheads
Print resolution
Variable droplet sizes from 6 to 42 picolitres. The ability to vary the drop size to 6 picolitres produces sharp images with smoother gradients and quartertones. The ability to jet larger droplets up to 42 picolitres produces uniform colors. The result is near-photographic quality with sharpness only before seen at resolutions of 1,440 dpi or higher. Text as small as 2 pt. is perfectly legible (with High Definition mode).
