Roland DG has announced the new AdvancedJET i series of grand-format inkjet printers including the 2641mm AJ-1000i and 1910mm AJ-740i.
The new AdvancedJET i series features Roland Intelligent Pass Control technology which optimises image quality and productivity. New EcoXtreme i ink is formulated to dramatically reduce odor for a comfortable work environment while providing brilliant color and durability.
The addition of Roland Intelligent Pass Control allows the AdvancedJET i series to produce sharp, vivid and solid images for indoor and outdoor graphics with smoother gradations and virtually no banding.
With Roland Intelligent Pass Control, the AdvancedJET i series is also up to 25%* more productive for banner printing in standard print mode. For example, the AdvancedJET i can print five rolls of banner measuring 2.5m wide by 50m long in standard print mode (bi-direction) in the time it took the previous model to print just four rolls.
*Increased to 20 m2/hr from 16 m2/hr for uni-direction, and to 30 m2/hr from 24 m2/hr for bi-direction.
Roland Intelligent Pass Control enhances the richness of colours for images that are clear and sharp when viewed at a distance for applications such as billboards. New print modes enable more customised results including the high-precision 16-pass print mode for beautiful PVC banners.
For added flexibility, feed calibration can be adjusted at any time during the printing process, a feature that can reduce media waste. Newly introduced protection plates prevent damage to AdvancedJET print heads.
