Advantages
Smoother images
“i²” keeps the bleed between passes under control and makes colour banding less obvious.
Small misalignments of the heads are becoming less critical. Misfiring/missing nozzles are
less visible in the output.
Image printability
Images are easier to print with less signs of banding/bleeding. Some images can be printed at
higher speeds, without quality loss. Some difficult images become printable at faster speeds.
Especially sign-images have a much smoother surface.
ValueJet 1304 = easier to use
The step-adjust is becoming less critical, making it a lot easier for the user to have good
quality outputs.
Gamut boost
Because of the previous benefits, we clearly see a colour gamut boost using the Intelligent
Interweaving technique in combination with dedicated profiles.
Application Compatibility
Thanks to i², it is possible to reach predictable output results.
i² availability
Twelve different print modes are available on the ValueJet 1304. For each mode, 3 different
wave patters can be chosen, resulting in different speeds. As you will see in the table below,
6 intelligent interweaving print modes are recommended by Mutoh.
