Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What separates the imagePROGRAF iPF815 from smaller technical models like the iPF770 or iPF785?
  The primary distinction lies in media width capacity and overall ink volume scalability. The iPF815 features an expanded 44-inch print chassis designed to natively handle giant engineering layouts and extra-large GIS maps that exceed standard 36-inch pathways. Furthermore, it supports massive commercial-grade 330 ml (PFI-303) and 700 ml (PFI-703) ink tank sizes, dramatically reducing operational running costs and user cartridge swapping cycles in high-throughput print production environments.
• 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 wide-format roll paper stock.
