The Future: Dual-head Architecture

The Roland Hi-Fi JET PRO represents dramatic progress over the earlier, award-winning Hi-Fi JET in both print quality and speed. The Hi-Fi JET PRO utilizes Roland's new dual-head, variable droplet technology to deliver breathtaking fine art reproductions with 8-color printing, or very high-speed output with double CMYK printing. With the Hi-Fi JET PRO, Roland once again leads the way to a new era of superb wide-format inkjet printing.
Elevating the Level of Fine-Art Reproduction
  • 8-Color Printing*1
    Now there is no need to choose between rich colors and wider gamut or smooth, natural gradations and skin tones. 8-color printing with variable droplets on the Hi-Fi JET PRO accomplishes both simultaneously - never before possible with 4 or even 6-color printing.

     
  • Variable Droplet Control Technology
    By varying the size of individual ink droplets, Roland's new technology provides a far greater number of dot sizes, providing a new standard for silky-smooth, grain-free print quality. Inkjet output finally achieves true continuous tone.

     
  • 1440x1440 dpi Resolution*2
    A milestone in high-resolution color printing, 1440x1440 dpi renders the subtlest details and textures with total realism and natural beauty.

     
  • Precise Color Matching
    Built into the Roland ColorChoice RIP are ICC color profiles to ensure accurate, consistent, repeatable color matching - precise enough for digital proofing.
Ultrahigh-Speed Productivity
  • Double 4-Color Printing*1
    Delivers A0-size 4-color prints in as little as five minutes at 540 x 360 dpi (127 sqft/h).

     
  • Wider Print Head with 96 nozzles per color
    The revolutionary new print head, with 96 nozzles per color, covers a wider printing area in each pass, greatly enhancing throughput.

     
  • 2X's Faster Head Speed*3
    Print heads have been engineered to operate at up to twice the speed of earlier Hi-Fi JETs for a new dimension in production performance.

     
  • Side-by-side Pigmented and Dye-Based Inks*1
    The option of installing both pigmented and dye-based CMYK inks on a single printer saves space and greatly boosts operating efficiency.

*1 Printing in 8-colors and double 4-colors, or pigmented and dye-based inks working separately.
*2 True 1440 dpi resolution in vertical direction and apparent 1440 dpi resolution in horizontal direction.

Advancing the State of the Art
  • 8-Color Printing - An Unprecedented Range of Color Tones
    The 8-color printing process in the Hi-Fi JET PRO uses dual print heads and variable droplet technology to reproduce a stunningly broad and realistic spectrum of color ? brilliant apple reds, the near-infinite greens of a forest, rich natural skin tones, or a metallic sheen so luxuriously smooth that you want to reach out and touch it. By adding orange (Or), green (Gr), light cyan (Lc) and light magenta (Lm) simultaneously to conventional CMYK colors, the Hi-Fi JET PRO delivers a new standard of photo realism, transcending the limits of conventional 4 and even 6-color printing to satisfy even the most demanding artist or photographer.

  • Variable Droplet Control: Unbelievably Smooth and Natural Reproduction
     

    The unique variable droplet technology of Hi-Fi JET PRO produces ultra-precise ink droplets of varying sizes to deliver beautifully smooth and dot-free tones. This state-of-the-art technology is truly breathtaking, either in 8-color or conventional CMYK output.

     

  • 1440x1440 dpi* Resolution: Astounding Photo Realistic Images
    This level of photographic quality reproduces even the downy soft hairs on human skin. The crisp detail and fine-line fidelity of the Hi-Fi JET PRO's 1440x1440 dpi resolution makes it ideal for enlargements of fine art, photography, or mural-size graphics, with results rivaling the convincing realism of photographic prints.

  • Piezo Print Heads Produce Precise Droplets under Stable Control
    The shape of the ink dots has a major effect on the overall quality of inkjet printing. This is one of the reasons why the Hi-Fi JET PRO uses Piezo inkjet heads - since they consistently produce a more perfectly rounded ink droplet.  You can clearly see the difference in the razor-sharp edges of text and photo images, and in the naturally smooth gradations. The minute size of the Piezo ink droplets also enables a more economical use of ink - a cost savings you're sure to appreciate over time.

     
  • Two Types of Inks to Match Your Needs
     

    For fade-resistant gallery quality output or for more economical, vivid-color output, the Hi-Fi JET PRO offers you two kinds inks - pigmented and dye-based.
    Hi-Fi JET pigmented inks ensure that your posters and signs maintain their beauty longer, even under outdoor conditions* and feature an enhanced color gamut rivaling that of dye-based inks. You get the best of both worlds: rich, vivid colors plus excellent resistance to fading.
    Hi-Fi JET dye-based inks are the logical choice for indoor posters or proofing. Their lush, intense colors produce beautiful output, while their budget-friendly price helps to keep operating costs down.
    *Lamination is required for outdoor use.

A New Dimension in High-Speed Performance
  • High-Speed Output with Double 4-Color Printing
     

    The Hi-Fi JET PRO delivers major increases in output speeds across the board. Printing at 540 x 360 dpi with two sets of CMYK, the Hi-Fi JET PRO can print one square meter in only 5 minutes (127sqft/h). Print quality is outstanding and, compared with most conventional wide-format printers, the difference in speed is dramatic.

     

  • Wider Heads Create Improved Print Speed
    The Hi-Fi JET PRO's new print heads utilize 96 nozzles per color which is 1.5 times wider than earlier Hi-Fi JETs to translate into shorter output times even in 8-color printing.  When working with 4-color x 2 head printing, 192 nozzles are allocated for each color and 768 nozzles work in total, which results very high-speed output.

     
  • Faster Head Speed with Stunning Image Quality
    By speed-tuning the print heads, we have been able to nearly double* the maximum speed at which the heads can operate. At the same time, the addition of extremely rigid, high-performance rails and other parts that support head movement ensure that these higher speeds have no adverse effect on image quality. Painstaking Roland engineering keeps ink tubes and cables from transmitting vibrations to the print heads, resulting in smoother, more stable head movement. These features ensure that the Hi-Fi JET PRO maintains higher levels of both output speed and printing fidelity.

  • Dual Functionality in a Single Printer
    The four-color, dual-head configuration of the Hi-Fi JET PRO means that you can use pigmented CMYK inks for one head and dye-based CMYK inks for the other. As a result, you can be ready to respond immediately to your customers' requests. This ability to deliver multiple printing functions from a single printer gives you substantial time and space savings, along with higher overall business efficiency.
