super fast print speeds,
with full color density
While other printers lose color density in dark areas and details as they reach high speeds, the ColorPainter W
prints accurate color densies - even at high speeds on dark images. The combinaon of high-viscosity inks and
advanced printheads produce razor sharp, crisp images in all print modes - retaining details and color density.
High density inks with higher pigment loading mean
beer, richer colors when you print backlit or frontlit
lms for light boxes. The ColorPainter W printers can
print rich dark glossy blacks on standard backlit lms,
making any menu or airport graphic stand out.

Choose a 54” model to keep investment costs low, or choose
the full size 64” model to print full 63.5” wide graphics. Both
models oer the exact same funconality and features.
Choose to print with 4 colors or 6 colors. Four color prinng is
more cost eecve, but 6 color prinng oers slightly beer image
quality, especially in gradients and esh tones. 4 color prinng uses
4 separate printheads, while 6 color prinng uses 6 printheads.
True low-solvent inks that
give the exibility to print
on almost any substrate
type, with great adhesion,
scratch resistance and the
longest outdoor durability.

Flexibility
The rst HAPs-Free inks
that oer rich, glossy,
colors, and fast dry mes
without the use of HAPs
(Hazardous Air Pollutants*).
No baking, no expensive media
required. Beer for employees.
Note: ColorPainter W printers can be

another aer installaon.

Industrial printheads jet faster and last longer than desktop printheads, so you save me and
money in the long run. Designed for longevity and high-volume prinng environments, the
SII Piezo printheads oer high-resoluon, high-speeds, and most importantly - reliability.
Dynamically processes images into 3 dierent drop sizes, and jets 3 dierent drop sizes on-the-y.
DDP maximizes image quality while maintaining proper color density at high speeds.
DDP
DynamicDot Printing Technology
Innovave nozzle compensaon funcon re-maps clogged nozzles so you can connue to print with
perfect image quality with no speed loss. Choose to clean your printhead later - keep prinng now.
Reduces printhead replacement and service costs by up to 10X, and maintains maximum upme.
TECHNOLOGY
SmartPass
Smart Pass 3 is an advanced technology that creates sophiscated algorithm-based gradient
overlaps between print passes - reducing the possibility of banding on low-quality media or when
prinng dicult image types. Maximizes print quality automacally. This generaon of technology is
funconally superior to other layering technologies oered by other WF printer companies.
CP Manager soware comes free with every ColorPainter
W printer. It allows you to monitor printer status, change
temperature sengs, check ink levels, or even see
suggested maintenance - right from your PC, mobile
phone or tablet.
Buy ink bags instead of cartridges, and reduce
landll waste. The ColorPainter W printer now
includes a free set of reloadable printer cartridges.
Snap-in ink bags make changing ink quick & easy.
We back up our reliability claims by oering an industry
leading 2 Year Warranty that includes the enre printer
and printheads. Service is performed by factory-training
service technicians from the same company that sells our
printers, so service is fast, local, and eecve.
ColorPainter W printers are equipped with an
advanced maintenance system that automacally
wipes and cleans all printheads automacally - so
daily maintenance is not required.
