3rd Generation Hi-Fi JET Delivers Unmatched Quality with Outstanding
Productivity
New print head technology and Roland’s innovative engineering
combine to make the Hi-Fi JET PRO groundbreaking in several
ways. First, the device is the first wide format printer to
offer variable droplet technology which enables the RIP to control
3 different droplet sizes for ultra high-resolution printing
as well as enhanced color control. Second, the Hi-Fi JET PRO
employs 8-color process printing, simultaneously providing the
advantages of light cyan and light magenta for subtle changes
in color transitions, plus orange and green for a greatly expanded
color gamut. Third, the machine effectively prints in 1440x1440
dpi, delivering exceptional resolution. Finally, the combination
of dual heads tuned for speed, a new improved RIP, and the ability
to print double CMYK delivers three times the speed of the previous
Hi-Fi JET.

Variable Droplet
Variable
droplet technology offers several advantages over fixed-dot
or multi-drop on-demand inkjet printing. The primary advantages
are:
Smoother transitions between colors: Because there
are different combinations of droplet sizes, there are more
available color droplet and dot mixes. For example, a Hi-Fi
JET PRO can fire 3 different droplet sizes yielding nine
different colors scenarios.

The different droplet scenarios available with the Hi-Fi
JET PRO are provided in the table above with the combination
of small (S), medium (M), and large (L) droplet sizes.
Improved color matches: With CMYK, there is a
large limitation on which colors you can match. By varying
the droplet size, the Hi-Fi JET PRO can simulate more
colors between reachable shades than either a four or
six-color printer.
8-Color
The Roland Hi-Fi JET PRO FJ-500 offers several printing
options. The combination of CMYK + Light Cyan, Light Magenta
plus Orange and Green sets a new standard for
color gamut and in-gamut color transitions. Previously,
there were distinct advantages for each ink setup.

Offered
smooth transitions and subtle pastel reproduction.

CMYKOG: |
Offered vivid
colors and a wider gamut. |
By combining both ink sets into one eight-color system,
the Hi-Fi JET PRO offers the advantages of both light cyan
and light magenta as well as the expanded gamut of orange
and green.
The 20x magnification above of a Hi-Fi JET FJ-50 (on left)
vs. a Hi-Fi JET PRO FJ-500 (on right) illustrates the dramatic
improvement of V8 Printing Technology™. 8 colors combined
with variable droplet technology improve on the award-winning
Hi-Fi JET FJ-50 output capabilities.
Resolution & Speed
In addition to enhanced resolution and color fidelity, the
Hi-Fi JET PRO also offers improved performance, making it
the ideal production device. By adding a second print head,
print nozzles have been increased to 96 from 64, providing
a printing speed of 1.5 times the FJ-40 and FJ-50. Secondly,
the actual print head travel speed has been increased. And
finally, by running two sets of CMYK, printing speed is
further increased to a blistering 127 square feet per hour
in the 540 x 360 dpi mode.

Connectivity
Parallel
The Hi-Fi JET PRO FJ-400/500 now has full ECP parallel port
support. It is fully IEEE 1284 compliant and can achieve
transmission speeds of 750 kb/s, which is more than double
the FJ-50’s 350 kb/s.
FJ-50:
350 kb/s
FJ-500:
750 kb/s (ECP)
Ethernet TCP/IP
Adding to connectivity options, the FJ-400/500 now comes
standard with a built-in 10/100-Base TX port. This allows
for TCP/IP connectivity with extremely fast transmission
of data at 1.1 Mb/s.

The Hi-Fi JET PRO may be connected with a direct Ethernet
cable or across a network. The interface of the system and
selected settings are accessed via a web browser.
