D.  LUCIA EX Ink 
The LUCIA EX Ink set is an 8-color pigment ink set that offers a wide color 
gamut, sharp rich  blacks,  and improved  scratch resistance while also 
preventing beading. The yellow pigments allow for a higher saturation of 
yellow,  thus  resulting in a wider gamut for reds and greens. Special 
polymer encapsulation of all colors and blacks allow for better adhesion of 
pigment particles to the  media, and to each other. The gliding 
characteristics of the polymer results in higher scratch resistance, minimal 
gloss differential between colors, and minimal bronzing.   
E.  250GB Hard Disk Drive 
The built-in 250GB hard disk  drive increases productivity by relieving 
workload from the host PC while providing a large capacity for print job 
data storage and retrieval. It enables job data to be stored in protected 
mailboxes for easy access via a web browser,  or at the printer  for job 
reprinting. To ensure file security, the built-in quick erase mode, high-
speed mode, and secure erase mode functions are accessible to the end 
user. 
F.  Gigabit Ethernet 
The imagePROGRAF iPF8400S printer supports Gigabit Ethernet printing. 
This  provides for fast transfer of large amounts of data for high-speed, 
high-volume printing. 
G.  Printhead (PF-05) 
The PF-05 Printhead has 2,560 nozzles per channel with 15,360 nozzles 
total. The special nozzle shape minimizes satellite ink, produces cleaner 
lines,  and  cleaner text.  Two Printheads are required for the 
ImagePROGRAF iPF8400S.
