New technology for maximum image quality
Print Head Advances
New in this model are he MicroPiezo® AMC print head, Variable sized dot
technology, and Active Meniscus Control (AMC) technology combine to deliver
unprecedented image quality, iron-clad reliability, and faster print speeds.
While thermal primers use heat to spray droplets, MicroPiezo® print heads
use electrical pulses that place smaller ink droplets onto a page. This increased
precision eliminates uncontrolled ink spray that leads to non-photographic overspray
or 'satellites' associated with thermal technology.
