2 ink tanks of pigment matte black ink are loaded to maximize black density on plain paper. Dye black ink produces beautifully smooth tones on photo glossy paper. The new dye inks offer improved colour fastness to light and gas. The 5-colour image-PROGRAF series handles various media, covering the needs for CAD/GIS posters, business documents and more.

Proprietary Reactive Ink Technology eliminates boundary smudges by controlling the reaction between pigment matte black ink and dye colour ink. With the improved fixing quality of black ink, you get crisper results where black line drawings and/or text appear next to colour, such as in CAD drawings and graphs.

L-COA ensures high-speed processing of business documents, CAD drawings, posters and other high-volume data. It also simultaneously controls the operation of the printer and the high-density single print head system for our new 5-colour dye and pigment reactive ink. This single chip is the leading-edge brain for high-resolution printing.

The iPF500 and iPF600 feature 4 media-feed methods: roll*, cassette, top-loading manual and front-loading manual. Media up to 1.5mm thick can be inserted in front-loading manual feed. The cassette holds 250 sheets of plain paper. When both the cassette and roll paper are loaded at the same time, you simply select the media-feed method on the printer driver and the printer automatically switches to the correct media.

*Optional Auto Roll Feed Unit required for the iPF500.
