Great Print Quality
The AJ-i delivers a maximum print resolution of 720x720 dpi for
precision six-color CMYK+LcLm graphics with superior ink bonding,
scratch resistance and alcohol resistance. For optimum performance
across a wide range of media, the AJ-i features three print head heights
that can be easily adjusted. The AJ-i’s high-density inks image well
even on flexible face media, and two new light ink control profiles
ensure top quality on both glossy and matte vinyl. The AJ-i also
features a new high-contrast print mode that produces deeper, more vivid
blues and reds while preserving the overall color balance.
6-Color Printing
Roland 6-color CMYK+LcLm inks combine with variable droplet technology to deliver more detail in the highlights and smoother blends and transitions overall. The addition of Light Cyan and Light Magenta enhances blues and reds, ensures flawless flesh tones and improves image quality across lighter colors.
ROLAND INTELLIGENT PASS CONTROL™
Many companies are attempting to address the issue of banding with solutions that involve simply disguising the banding patterns. Roland has taken a different approach. Roland Intelligent Pass Control virtually eliminates banding by optimizing masking patterns and dot placement at the edge of each pass, overlapping and feathering consecutive passes together so that they literally become one continuous image. No edges. No banding. As a result, RIPC delivers unmatched image quality overall with smoother gradations and dense, flawless solid colors in every print mode. This patent-pending technology also increases productivity by allowing you to achieve the same visible print quality while printing at higher speeds.
EcoXtreme i Ink
Roland EcoXtreme ink was developed exclusively for the AdvancedJET AJ series to provide outstanding color density, wider gamut and rugged durability. Available in six colors (CMYK+LcLm), EcoXtreme ink produces vibrant images even in high-speed production modes on both coated and uncoated media.
EcoXtreme is particularly well suited for vehicle graphics and volume banner production, offering exceptional bonding with uncoated banner substrates and tarpaulin, as well as enhanced scratch and alcohol resistance for extended outdoor durability.
Choose from two formulations – EcoXtreme for high durability of up to three years outdoors, and EcoXtreme LT for more cost effective, short-term applications such as event signage, campaign posters and short-term corporate ads.
Optional Mesh Printing Unit
The AJ-i’s versatility can be further enhanced with the optional MU Mesh Printing Unit for economical unlined mesh media. Custom engineered for the AJ-i, the MU is easy to attach and detach and features a built-in drainage system for easy removal of excess ink. Popular for a variety of indoor and outdoor applications, mesh is particularly well suited for graphics that may be exposed to excessive wind or any graphic calling for a unique sheer look. Unlined mesh offers many advantages over lined mesh including a lower cost per square foot. In addition, unlined mesh is easier to print, handle and transport, and it does not generate liner waste.
High-Capacity Ink Delivery System
The AJ-i comes equipped with high-capacity 1 liter ink cartridges for seamless unattended printing. An advanced ink delivery system allows replacement of cartridges without pausing.
Advanced Tri-Heater and Blower System
The AJ-i features an integrated tri-heater system and blower that make both high-speed printing and take-up possible. The heating system consists of three elements. A pre-heater opens pores in the media to improve its receptiveness. The print heater accelerates ink fastness and brightness by ensuring the ink is absorbed. Finally, the dryer and blower accelerate ink drying for better productivity, workability and scratch resistance.
Low Maintenance and Ownership Costs
The price and installation costs of many comparable printers can total several hundred thousand dollars. By comparison, an AJ-i printer can be purchased and installed for a fraction of this cost. Operational costs for the AJ-i are lower as well due to an innovative automated intelligent maintenance system that saves ink and reduces down time. This advanced system performs routine maintenance tasks automatically, eliminating the need for time-consuming daily manual cleanings. The AJ-i’s intelligent maintenance system even adjusts the maintenance schedule automatically depending on the room temperature. As a result, manual cleaning around the print head and capping station is required only every two weeks.
Automated Media Feed and Take Up System
The AJ-i includes an automated media feed and take-up system to facilitate precision unattended printing. This pre-assembled unit includes convenient front-mounted feed and take-up rollers and an advanced tension-controlled take-up system for optimum media feed and tracking. A powerful drying system quickly dries ink and media for high-speed applications. The system handles rolls weighing up to 220 lbs.
Network Connection
Equipped with a standard 100 BASE-TX/10 BASE-T interface, the AJ-i connects seamlessly to office networks with a data transmission rate of 1.1 Mb/sec. This makes it easy to configure a highly efficient printing environment.
VersaWorks RIP Software
VersaWorks RIP software has been developed exclusively for Roland inkjet printers and printer/cutters. This true Adobe PostScript 3 RIP ensures exceptional production output with unmatched ease of use and incorporates the latest Adobe CPSI 3019 engine.
VersaWorks supports the Roland Color system which accurately reproduces more than 1,000 spot colors from color charts and swatch books. With VersaWorks, users can choose from print options including a high-speed mode for production banner printing, the MAX Impact preset for vivid outdoor graphics and Artistic mode for exceptional indoor graphics. In addition, VersaWorks features Variable Data Printing and supports up to four Roland devices simultaneously including printers, printer/cutters and cutters. It automatically estimates the ink usage and print time for each graphic so you can accurately monitor time and costs.
VersaWorks features include embedded ICC profile support, ink level adjustment tools, software proofing capabilities, error diffusion for outstanding print quality and advanced cropping, tiling and nesting options. Support for Roland cutters allows you to pair a Roland cutter with any wide-format or desktop printer for print/cut applications. The PerfCut function produces precision perforated cut lines. VersaWorks 4.0 is fully compatible with Windows 7, Vista, XP and 2000.
11. Reliability You Can Count On
