Chapter 1 Outline
1.1 Main Characteristics
The JetSet printer includes the following main features:
♦The JetSet printer uses long life piezoelectric Hitachi E1 print heads, fixed on an
aluminum metal base. The JetSet printer is highly causticity resistant and can control
the ink point exactly, so that it can correctly adjust the fine color of the picture. It can
produce high quality images with brilliant and conforming colors.
♦The automatic cleaning system keeps the print heads in best working condition,
efficiently keeping the heads from drying. To clean the print heads, you only need to
click the Wash Heads function in the software window. The automatic cleaning
system can greatly extend the life of print heads and avoid the inconvenience
caused by frequent removal and washing of the print heads. The automatic cleaning
system thus ensures high efficiency, safety and convenience. The automatic
cleaning system is liquid protected.
♦The feeding system employs tension control on the materials, ensuring smooth
feeding. This prevents the possibility of pictures being destroyed due to material
sticking.
♦The LM (Linear Motion) carriage rail effectively eliminates the influence of carriage
shaking on the print precision, thus increasing the print quality observably.
♦The first inkbottle and second ink tank level sensor auto-alarming system supervises
the ink level all the time, preventing the waste due to the shortage of ink.
♦An inner warm-up and drying system ensures the ink dissolves in the medium quickly.
This not only increases the images’ outdoors durability but also extends the
application scope of substrates.
1.2 Quality and Safety Insurance
The JetSet conforms to the following Quality and Safety standards:
♦ISO9001: 2000 certificate, insuring the product’s quality.
♦CE safety certificate issued by TÜV Rhineland.
