Features

1. High-Speed Output with Newly Developed Wide Piezo Heads

2. High Weather Resistance with Oil-based Pigment Ink

3. High-Quality Prints at True 720 Dpi with Six Inks

An A0-size full-color drawing can be printed in approx. four
minutes at 720 dpi by adopting newly developed wide piezo heads.
The printer provides high productivity.

Oil-based pigment ink is used to provide high water and light
resistance. Therefore, prints can be posted outdoors. The oil­based pigment ink dries so quickly that you do not have to care
about drying time even during continuous printing.

A high resolution of true 720 dpi is implemented to print high­quality drawings. The printer supports light magenta and light
cyan as well as black, magenta, yellow, and cyan to provide color
gradations. High-quality prints equivalent to commercial prints
can be produced.

1-2

4. Excellent Interface Function

A SCSI model that can transfer data at high speed and an Ethernet
Centronics model that inherits popular SII controller technology
are available. The Ethernet model supports 100BASE-T and 10
logical ports. The printer can receive data from up to 11 computers
at the same time when using the Centronics interface as well.

5. Easy Operation

Large-capacity (500 cc) ink cartridges are provided. In addition,
an automatic winder (option) is available to operate the printer
even at night without intervention. Ink cartridges and media can
be replaced easily from the front side of the printer.

6. Excellent Driver Environment

A Windows driver is provided as standard. Large data can be
transferred without any stress. In addition, high-performance RIP
is provided to output PostScript data via RIP. The Ethernet model
supports high-capacity hard disks and remote control tools. Data
can be stored on a hard disk, so it can be reprinted without
retransmitting it. Remote control tools can be used to view and
change the printer status from the computer.

7. Support of Various Media

Coated Paper, Glossy Paper, Backlit Film, White PET Film, and
Adhesive Vinyl, Polyester Cloth are supported. The printer meets
