Overview
A design office that prints large sheets gets an inkjet that takes bulk ink tanks. Dye colors and a pigment matte black cover posters, drawings and signage over a wired network link.
The sub-ink tank system lets a user run a tank down and replace an empty one on the fly, without stopping the job. The listing also gives fast economy-mode times for Arch D and Arch E sizes. The unit is heavy, wired only and print only.
Who it's for
A studio printing drawings, posters or presentation boards will value the quick economy times and swap-in ink tanks. A small business that needs a scanner or wireless setup should consider a different class of machine.
Pros and cons
- Fast Arch D and Arch E print times
- Swap empty ink tanks without stopping
- Bulk tanks and sub-ink tank system
- Dye colors with pigment matte black
- Print only, no scanning
- Wired Ethernet only
- Very heavy machine
Performance notes
A secondary reservoir holds ink apart from the main tanks, so a user can run it down and swap in a full tank while the job continues. The quoted print times apply to Economy mode, which trades some quality for speed. Dye colors give saturated graphics and the pigment matte black suits line work on plain paper.
