ENCAD NovaJet 880 User manual

The NovaJet 880 is Encad’s premier thermal inkjet printer––printing up to eight vibrant colors on both
flexible and rigid media up to 1/2” (12.7 mm) thick. The NovaJet 880 boasts all the color, flexibility, and
speed of the award-winning NovaJet 850––then adds the major benefit of superior image quality on a
wider range of substrates.
THE TIME & LABOR SAVER
With the NovaJet 880, the days of having to mount prints on rigid media are gone forever. The print
head height of the NovaJet 880 is easily adjusted to print directly onto foam core, art board, card
stock, and other rigid materials for exhibit graphics, point-of-purchase signage, fine art
reproductions and photo enlargements.
IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES
The NovaJet 880 opens up a new world of printing possibilities––and profit centers. The rigid
media kit designed for the system includes everything you’ll need to switch quickly from roll to
rigid media. And since you can use your own support tables or stands, you’ll save
valuable space. Best of all, both roll and rigid media can be loaded and printed by one
person with ease.
QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, AND FLEXIBILITY
The NovaJet 880 is a technological marvel. To maximize your printing performance and
save ink and media, the new thermal monitoring system of the NovaJet 880 keeps a
constant electronic eye on your inks. And with the option of placing twice the ink on
your media (without reducing speed), our new Double Drop™ technology ensures
rich and vibrant prints on even the most challenging porous surfaces, such as fab-
ric banners and textiles.
