Overview
A print studio or photo lab is where this wide format printer belongs, feeding from two rolls and trimming each print automatically. The ink set adds chromatic and gloss enhancer colors, and the title adds a spectrophotometer for color calibration.
The maker says it prints photo quality faster than the earlier generation and cuts post processing with its vertical trimmer. The unit is large and heavy, and the listing gives no print speed per size, so throughput claims need checking against your jobs.
Who it's for
Photographers, graphic studios and print shops that output wide rolls and want built in color calibration. Anyone printing letter sized pages, or short on floor space, should choose a smaller printer.
Pros and cons
- Ten ink set with chromatic colors
- Dual roll feeding
- Automatic cutter and trimmer
- Stand and media bin included
- Very heavy machine
- Print speed figures are inconsistent
- Power draw figures unclear
Performance notes
Ten pigment inks widen the color range, and the gloss enhancer and matte or photo black inks suit different media. The spectrophotometer measures printed color for calibration, while the large memory and hard drive handle big files before printing.
