Kodak subsidiary’s Novajet 1000i offers better image quality at a lower cost per print.
Kodak subisidiary ENCAD announced the
availability of its latest wide-format inkjet printer, the Novajet
1000i.
The printer incorporates new Kodak
technology that enables it to provide image quality and a cost per print
approaching that of non-wide format printers, the company said.
"Across the board, our customers’
requirements for wide-format printers include speed, image quality, reliability,
and low hardware and consumables cost," said Barry Lathan, ENCAD’s CEO. "ENCAD’s
design for the NOVAJET 1000i printer meets all of these criteria."
The printer offers better image quality
and higher print throughput due to a new print head, which allows for higher
speed printing, and a new dryer technology that ensures quick drying times on a
variety of media.
The new printer also offers a new print
masking technology, called Intelligent Mask Technology (IMT). A print mask is a
screen that is applied to image files by the printer to determine which dots are
laid down during each swath or print pass. IMT maximizes the technique of print
masking for each of the six ink colors, ENCAD said, significantly increasing the
image quality and printer efficiency.
The Novajet 1000i costs $20,000 and is
available now. For more information, visit ENCAD here.
