Q. What is the role of the maintenance cartridge?
The cartridge absorbs excess ink from print head cleaning, borderless printing, and other printer
operations. When the cartridge is almost full, the operation panel display and the status monitor
software utility request users to replace it. Replacement frequency varies depending on the
printing volume.
Q. What is the capacity and price of an ink tank?
iPF8000S and iPF9000S ink tanks are available in two sizes for each color, 330 and 700 ml. Users
can choose either size according to frequency of use or printing volume. Ink tanks of different
sizes can be used at the same time. This can help keep running costs low, save time in ink tank
replacement, and minimize wastage of infrequently used inks. 330. Note that 330 ml tanks are
provided with the printer.
Q. How is the color stability of prints from the iPF8000S and iPF9000S?
Colors produced by the iPF8000S and iPF9000S are exceptionally stable after printing, and the
color density remains constant.
Q. How is the black density of prints from the iPF8000S and iPF9000S?
iPF8000S and iPF9000S black inks offer outstanding black density, equivalent to iPF8000 and iPF9000
inks. The black density is also approximately equivalent to competitive pigment ink printers.
Q. How is the quality of prints from the iPF8000S and iPF9000S? Do they cover a smaller gamut
than the iPF8000 and iPF9000?
The iPF8000S and iPF9000S are 8-color models with refinements for faster output. 12-color
models naturally offer a wider gamut.
The iPF8000S and iPF9000S are designed for print-for-pay shops, photo labs, and other settings
where productivity is critical, and their new ink system (an 8-color ink system with LUCIA pigment
ink) offers a practical level of print quality satisfying everyday needs in these applications.
For users seeking superior-quality prints, we recommend the iPF8000 and iPF9000, similarly
equipped with LUCIA pigment ink but in a 12-color system that includes special RGB (red, green,
blue) colors as well as PGY (photo gray).
Q. Is there much difference in image quality between 8-color and 12-color models?
The number of ink colors is not the only factor affecting print quality. Image processing, ink
droplet size, print resolution, process technology of the printer, how well print jobs and settings
match the media, and other factors are interrelated in a complex way. Thus, one cannot merely
