Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What separates this Designer Edition from the standard and Commercial Edition models?
  The hardware layout includes the Light Light Black and Green ink channels of the Standard Edition, but the Designer Edition specifically bundles professional EFI Fiery eXpress RIP software. This specialized tool enables advanced PostScript 3 file handling, precise graphic design color management, accurate vector rendering, and complex layout proofing control directly out of the box.
• Do I have to manually swap ink lines when shifting between matte paper and glossy photo rolls?
  No. The print head carriage utilizes separate individual delivery lines for both Photo Black and Matte Black simultaneously. The machine automatically switches fluid streams over the internal matrix based on your active software driver profile settings, avoiding any physical block changes or manual flush delays.
• What thickness threshold can the manual bypass print path accommodate?
  The straight-through manual top feed slot route features an expanded throat design engineered to safely accept heavy-weight poster boards, presentation layouts, and rigid fine art media stock ranging up to 1.5 mm thick completely flat.
