Introduction 1

This User Guide provides complete information on the CADJET®3D printer.

The printer is a wide-format color inkjet printer that gives you professional-quality output

with all the brilliance and gloss of liquid ink. For CAD, engineering, architectural, creative

and business professionals, this printer lets you experience the value of exceptional

graphics quality and cut hours of production time, while giving you the dramatic impact of

high fidelity images.

Printing

Wide format inkjet printers let you create printed pieces the length of a roll of media (up to

300'). Only Extreme Color Printing™ combines the technical sophistication of the

CADJET printer with the unique qualities of ENCAD CIS ink and media. You can print

in vivid CMYK full color or print with KKKK (Four Blacks mode) for blazing speed on

line drawings.

Your printer features a continuous-feeding ink system which uses 500ml reservoirs for

each color, so you never have to worry about running out of ink halfway through a big

print job. Before starting a print job, just look at the transparent plastic reservoirs to

check the ink supply. When the ink supply is low, just open the cap and refill. Use the

reservoirs for CMYK or KKKK inks.

For a quick changeover from CMYK, you can plug in four black cartridges independent

of the bulk ink system.
