Character：
Epson generation 5th print head—DX5
Ultra 9000 adopt the new-type micro piezoelectric printhead with a resolution of
144dpi. Total is 1440 nozzles divided into 8 lines, every lines have 180 nozzle,
every color in two lines. Hence, DX5 printhead has high precision and high speed
character.
Depending on different output types, variable ink drop technology can generate 3
kinds of micro ink drops in different sizes. Ink size is freely optional between
3.5pl-9pl. Achieve a pretty, fine, smooth and particle-free tone transition. In
conjunction with RIP software, variable ink drop technology makes this printer
even highly applied in appreciation field for flawless quality.
Falut-Tolerant Feather Technology
Both Ultra9000 printer could make perfact printing,because the new generation
system had made the optimal calibrations in software and internal parameters of
EPSON print head.By thin technology,when the users print solid color image,not
only the color is vivid and bright,but also the ink consumption is less
obviously.Thus the printing cost was saved effectively.
LCD Control panel
New LCD control panel could run the machine independently. The new functions
are cleanout, absorb the ink, flash, print test strip, formfeed, go back and
replacement. In the new Ultra 9000, you can print the image from the USB
directly.
USB control board
Eco-solent print adopt USB control board and USB2.0. Only one USB cable can
achieve printing, also USB control board has memory, they will record the data
automatically.
High Speed system
The AC servo motor of the ultra9000 printer has high speed and high precise
position-setting character. In mechanical part, adopt imported linear rail, timing
belt with steel wire and copper gear. Also adopt 180dpi encoder strip.
Discrete ink control system
Ultra9000 printer adpot discrete ink control system: indepent ink control board,
indepent sub tank and electric pumb to make the printing smooth. The new
inductor has ink lact warning system.
Qucik heating and air drying system
Two units heating and air drying system are the new function of the ultra9000
printer. The pre-heating is good for media to absorb the ink, to make the image

more vivid. After heating is good for ink to coagulate, superadd the air dtying
system, the media will dry as the printing finish.
Auto feeding and take-up system
The feeding system adopt photoelectricity system, it can afford 100 KG media.
Also the double feeding roller can make feeding more smooth.
