Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What separates the imagePROGRAF iPF785 from the standard iPF780 model?
  The primary technical difference on the iPF785 is its integrated 320 GB internal hard disk drive and expanded network processing interface. While both units output an A1 sheet in a fast 21 seconds and support high-capacity 300 ml ink tanks, the iPF785 is specifically engineered for high-throughput corporate network environments. The onboard hard drive manages multi-user print traffic directly, preventing data processing bottlenecks on local user workstations and enabling easy file reprinting from the device panel.
• What are the benefits of this 5-color reactive ink setup for blueprints and technical maps?
  The system utilizes a specialized layout that pairs dye color inks with premium matte black pigment ink. When printing fine technical line drawings or GIS charts, a chemical reaction occurs that instantly binds the inks together. This locks crisp lines into place, avoiding bleeding and ensuring excellent water and smudge resistance on standard technical bonds.
• Can I change ink cartridges while the printer is running a large job?
  Yes. This device includes a sub-ink tank structure that acts as an internal backup reservoir. This allows you to hot-swap an empty ink tank mid-print without pausing the job, stopping the workflow, or wasting expensive roll paper stock.
