Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What separates the imagePROGRAF iPF780 from older technical printer generations like the iPF770?
  The iPF780 delivers upgraded print productivity features. It boasts a faster print cycle that outputs a standard A1 sheet in just 21 seconds (compared to 25 seconds on older architectures). It also explicitly accommodates high-capacity 300 ml (PFI-207) ink cartridge sizes across all five color slots, extending periods between supply modifications in high-volume production shops.
• 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.
