business tool that gets any
job done fast and affordably.

more profitable.
hen your application requires
a production printer, but your budget can’t
afford the high price, the NovaJet 500 is your
answer. The NovaJet 500 is an incredible
value that doesn’t ask you to sacrifice productivity or beautiful digital images for price.
With new MicroBurst™ technology, the NovaJet 500 is ENCAD’s fastest printer ever at
the lowest cost, with print speeds almost 120% faster than previous printers. At
these blazing speeds, the NovaJet 500 is the perfect tool to speed up production and
decrease the time it takes to put great looking images in front of your customers.
And best of all, these super-fast prints have the high-intensity color that demands a
customer’s attention from across a retail store or trade show floor.
The NovaJet 500 boasts superb 300 dpi image quality and vibrant colors. The dual
ink lines allow you to quickly switch from one ink to another should the need arise.
The 500 ml extended ink system allows for many days of use without replacement.
Another standard feature of the NovaJet 500 is the Open Jet
Detection and Compensation system that extends the life of
cartridges and eliminates waste and down-time. The media
odometer tracks your media type and usage to make sure you
are getting the most from your media.
By lowering the cost of ownership while increasing productivity, the NovaJet 500 is
one of the best values in the industry. To get more information on the NovaJet 500
