Improved ink
New ink provides improved performance in high temperature and/or
low humidity environments. The better flowing inks gel quickly, with
less ink clogging, which can cause poor images or trigger errors like
SC999, SC990, etc.
Lower ink consumption
Redesigned print heads, ink supply unit, head cleaning algorithm,
and reversible pumps
Redesigned ink level detection pins prevent machine tilt-induced
ink leakage
Effective for up to 30 degree angle
Newly designed bidirectional ink pumps with independent motor
for each ink color
Reversible pumps create vacuum in head tanks without wasting ink.
