3-2 Ink System Overview
Ink System Overview The printer’s ink system consists of the following components:
◆ Ink boxes — four 3-liter boxes of SolaChrome-HR solvent pig-
mented ink (CMYK) plus SolaChrome cleaning solvent.
◆ Ink tubes — carry ink and cleaning solvent to the print-
heads, and cleaning solvent to the service station.
◆ Printheads — permanent piezo-based printheads.
◆ Vacuum/Pressure (VP) System — provides vacuum to main-
tain negative pressure at the printheads, and pressure to
purge the ink tubes and printheads.
◆ Profilers — provided with each ink box, they contain infor-
mation about the ink and must be installed together with
their corresponding box. Profiler data are used to track ink
levels, and to help ensure optimal output quality and com-
patibility with printer components.
◆ LEDs — the LED next to each profiler illuminates when the
box is almost empty, to alert the operator to exchange the
box for a full one.
Caution
Use only genuine ColorSpan inks and cleaning sol-
vent in the printer. Use of any other inks or cleaning
fluids COULD DAMAGE THE PRINTER AND WILL
VOID THE WARRANTY.
