Roland AdvancedJet AJ-1000i

High Speed Performance

Roland’s AdvancedJET AJ-i series was built for speed – up to 968 sqft./hr. for the 104” AJ-1000i and 872 sqft./hr. for the 74” AJ-740i in high-speed print modes. With precision print modes of 484 sqft./hr. for the AJ-1000i and 473 sqft./hr. for the AJ-740i, the AJ-i creates beautiful, durable banners, billboards and vehicle graphics in no time.

 

Great Print Quality

The AJ-i delivers a maximum print resolution of 720x720 dpi for precision six-color CMYK+LcLm graphics with superior ink bonding, scratch resistance and alcohol resistance. For optimum performance across a wide range of media, the AJ-i features three print head heights that can be easily adjusted. The AJ-i’s high-density inks image well even on flexible face media, and two new light ink control profiles ensure top quality on both glossy and matte vinyl. The AJ-i also features a new high-contrast print mode that produces deeper, more vivid blues and reds while preserving the overall color balance.

 

6-Color Printing

Roland 6-color CMYK+LcLm inks combine with variable droplet technology to deliver more detail in the highlights and smoother blends and transitions overall. The addition of Light Cyan and Light Magenta enhances blues and reds, ensures flawless flesh tones and improves image quality across lighter colors.

 

Roland Intelligent Pass Control

Many companies are attempting to address the issue of banding with solutions that involve simply disguising the banding patterns. Roland has taken a different approach. Roland Intelligent Pass Control virtually eliminates banding by optimizing masking patterns and dot placement at the edge of each pass, overlapping and feathering consecutive passes together so that they literally become one continuous image. No edges. No banding. As a result, RIPC delivers unmatched image quality overall with smoother gradations and dense, flawless solid colors in every print mode. This patent-pending technology also increases productivity by allowing you to achieve the same visible print quality while printing at higher speeds.

 

Eco XTreme i Ink

Roland EcoXtreme inks were developed exclusively for the AdvancedJET AJ-i series to provide outstanding color density, wider gamut and rugged durability. Available in six colors (CMYK+LcLm), EcoXtreme i ink produces vibrant images even in high-speed production modes on both coated and uncoated media.

 

EcoXtreme i is particularly well suited for vehicle graphics and volume banner production, offering exceptional bonding with uncoated banner substrates and tarpaulin, as well as enhanced scratch and alcohol resistance for extended outdoor durability.

 

Choose from two formulations – New EcoXtreme i for high durability of up to three years outdoors with low odor, and EcoXtreme LT for more cost effective, short-term applications such as event signage, campaign posters and short-term corporate ads.

 

Advanced Tri-Heater and Blower System

The AJ-i features an integrated tri-heater system and blower that make both high-speed printing and take-up possible. The heating system consists of three elements. A pre-heater opens pores in the media to improve its receptiveness. The print heater accelerates ink fastness and brightness by ensuring the ink is absorbed. Finally, the dryer and blower accelerate ink drying for better productivity, workability and scratch resistance.
