The Roland Hi-Fi JET PRO represents dramatic progress over the earlier, award-winning Hi-Fi JET in both print quality and speed. The Hi-Fi JET PRO utilizes Roland fs new dual-head, variable droplet technology to deliver breathtaking fine art reproductions with 8-color printing, or very high-speed output with double CMYK printing. With the Hi-Fi JET PRO, Roland once again leads the way to a new era of superb wide-format inkjet printing.

The eight-color Hi-Fi JET PRO employs variable droplet technology to produce silky smooth, grain-free results. Using Roland pigment ink, the "V8" prints with eight colors (CMYK + Or Gr Lc Lm) to print smooth, natural color transitions with a huge color gamut. For speedy 127-square-feet per hour output, load it with dual sets of CMYK.

    Elevating the Level of Fine-Art Reproduction

8-Color Printing*1
Now there is no need to choose between rich colors and wider gamut or smooth, natural gradations and skin tones. 8-color printing with variable droplets on the Hi-Fi JET PRO accomplishes both simultaneously - never before possible with 4 or even 6-color printing.

Variable Droplet Control Technology
By varying the size of individual ink droplets, Roland's new technology provides a far greater number of dot sizes, providing a new standard for silky-smooth, grain-free print quality. Inkjet output finally achieves true continuous tone.

1440x1440 dpi Resolution
*2
A milestone in high-resolution color printing, 1440x1440 dpi renders the subtlest details and textures with total realism and natural beauty.

Precise Color Matching
Built into the Roland ColorChoice RIP are ICC color profiles to ensure accurate, consistent, repeatable color matching ? precise enough for digital proofing.

    Advancing the State of the Art 8-Color Printing

An Unprecedented Range of Color Tones
The 8-color printing process in the Hi-Fi JET PRO uses dual print heads and variable droplet technology to reproduce a stunningly broad and realistic spectrum of color ? brilliant apple reds, the near-infinite greens of a forest, rich natural skin tones, or a metallic sheen so luxuriously smooth that you want to reach out and touch it. By adding orange (Or), green (Gr), light cyan (Lc) and light magenta (Lm) simultaneously to conventional CMYK colors, the Hi-Fi JET PRO delivers a new standard of photo realism, transcending the limits of conventional 4 and even 6-color printing to satisfy even the most demanding artist or photographer.
 
Pantone Calibrated for PANTONE® Hexachrome®
The Roland Hi-Fi JET series is currently the world's first and only 1440 dpi wide-format inkjet printer capable of outputting PANTONE® Hexachrome®. 

PANTONE® Hexachrome® is Pantone, Inc.'s patented 6-color printing process which simulates over 97%* of solid PANTONE PMS Colors - an enormous benefit to printers and designers for proofing and accurate color matching.

*Requires Roland FPG-series pigment inks in CMYK, Orange and Green, printed at the specified resolution on Roland's signature Hi-Gloss White Film and using Roland ColorChoice® software and QuarkXPressTM™.

Variable Droplet Control 
Unbelievably Smooth and Natural Reproduction - The unique variable droplet technology of Hi-Fi JET PRO produces ultra-precise ink droplets of varying sizes to deliver beautifully smooth and dot-free tones. This state-of-the-art technology is truly breathtaking, either in 8-color or conventional CMYK output.

1440x1440 dpi* Resolution: Astounding Photo Realistic Images
This level of photographic quality reproduces even the downy soft hairs on human skin. The crisp detail and fine-line fidelity of the Hi-Fi JET PRO's 1440x1440 dpi resolution makes it ideal for enlargements of fine art, photography, or mural-size graphics, with results rivaling the convincing realism of photographic prints.

*True 1440 dpi in vertical direction and apparent 1440 dpi in horizontal direction


Piezo Print Heads Produce Precise Droplets under Stable Control
The shape of the ink dots has a major effect on the overall quality of inkjet printing. This is one of the reasons why the Hi-Fi JET PRO uses Piezo inkjet heads - since they consistently produce a more perfectly rounded ink droplet. You can clearly see the difference in the razor-sharp edges of text and photo images, and in the naturally smooth gradations. The minute size of the Piezo ink droplets also enables a more economical use of ink - a cost savings you're sure to appreciate over time.

Two Types of Inks to Match Your Needs
For fade-resistant gallery quality output or for more economical, vivid-color output, the Hi-Fi JET PRO offers you two kinds inks - pigmented and dye-based.

Hi-Fi JET pigmented inks ensure that your posters and signs maintain their beauty longer, even under outdoor conditions* and feature an enhanced color gamut rivaling that of dye-based inks. You get the best of both worlds: rich, vivid colors plus excellent resistance to fading.
Hi-Fi JET dye-based inks are the logical choice for indoor posters or proofing. Their lush, intense colors produce beautiful output, while their budget-friendly price helps to keep operating costs down.

*Lamination is required for outdoor use.


    A New Dimension in High-Speed Performance

Output Speed Comparison
High-Speed Output with Double 4-Color Printing
The Hi-Fi JET PRO delivers major increases in output speeds across the board. Printing at 540 x 360 dpi with two sets of CMYK, the Hi-Fi JET PRO can print one square meter in only 5 minutes (127sqft/h). Print quality is outstanding and, compared with most conventional wide-format printers, the difference in speed is dramatic.

Wider Heads Create Improved Print Speed
The Hi-Fi JET PRO's new print heads utilize 96 nozzles per color which is 1.5 times wider than earlier Hi-Fi JETs to translate into shorter output times even in 8-color printing. When working with 4-color x 2 head printing, 192 nozzles are allocated for each color and 768 nozzles work in total, which results very high-speed output.

Faster Head Speed with Stunning Image Quality
By speed-tuning the print heads, we have been able to nearly double* the maximum speed at which the heads can operate. At the same time, the addition of extremely rigid, high-performance rails and other parts that support head movement ensure that these higher speeds have no adverse effect on image quality. Painstaking Roland engineering keeps ink tubes and cables from transmitting vibrations to the print heads, resulting in smoother, more stable head movement. These features ensure that the Hi-Fi JET PRO maintains higher levels of both output speed and printing fidelity.

*Compared with the Roland FJ-50/40.


Dual Functionality in a Single Printer
The four-color, dual-head configuration of the Hi-Fi JET PRO means that you can use pigmented CMYK inks for one head and dye-based CMYK inks for the other. As a result, you can be ready to respond immediately to your customers' requests. This ability to deliver multiple printing functions from a single printer gives you substantial time and space savings, along with higher overall business efficiency.


    Supporting High-Speed Networks

100 BASE-TX/10 BASE-T Networking
Equipped with a standard 100 BASE-TX/10 BASE-T interface, the Hi-Fi JET PRO connects seamlessly to office networks for high-speed workgroup operation with a data transmission rate of 1.1 Mb/sec. This makes it easy to configure a highly efficient printing environment with efficient sharing between multiple PCs and/or Macs®.

Easy Access to Ethernet Interface Settings from Your Web Browser
Simply access the Hi-Fi JET PRO interface from a web browser and you can quickly view the settings or change them to your desired settings on your display.

Full Support for ECP Parallel Interface
The Hi-Fi JET PRO comes with an ECP parallel interface. This enables data transfer at 750 KB/sec., twice the transfer speed of earlier Hi-Fi JETs.


    Offering You a Wider Choice of Print Media

Digital Proofing and Other Media Media
availability largely determines the usefulness of any printer. With this in mind, the Hi?Fi JET PRO accepts a wide range of Roland-certified media. The lineup includes PET film for photographic prints, as well as vinyl, cloth, paper (including Fine Art papers), and film positives for silkscreen printers.

Screen Printing Positives
As with all Roland inkjet devices, the Hi-Fi JET PRO offers the ability to print film positives for screen printing, using either Adobe Photoshop 5.5 or Adobe Illustrator 8.0 with Acrobat Distiller 4.0. No additional equipment or expense is required. You can choose from fourteen different half-tone dot shapes with screen frequency and angle control. Roland provides clear film (CPF-66-42) for use with our standard pigmented black ink (FPG-BK).


    Adding a Host of New Supporting Features

Easy Panel Operation
Newly designed panel switches provide easy, comfortable operation. And the backlit LCD means that the menu is easy to read.

Adjustable Head Height for a Wide Variety of Media
You can adjust the head-height to one of two levels, ensuring consistent, optimal output on a wide range of media - from artists' canvas to film.  The Hi-Fi JET PRO automatically detects the head-height and adjusts the interval of ink firing to the appropriate rate based on the head-height of choice.

Media Cover Guards against Dust
A transparent cover positioned over the roll of printing media protects it from ambient dust, ensuring a cleaner surface for the highest quality printing results.

Media Damper Maintains Paper Feed Stability
A media damper maintains feed stability by applying uniform tension to the media. This high-precision feed control translates directly into higher printing quality.

Easy-to-Replace Ink Cartridges
Inks come in clean-handling 220cc cartridges that pop in and out for quick and easy replacement. The LCD display allows constant monitoring of the amount of ink remaining, with an alarm that sounds to indicate which cartridge needs replacement.

Automatic Sheet Cutter
After printing, just press a button to quickly trim the printed media and move on to the next job.


    Select from Three Models to Match Your Application Needs

Covering a Wide Output Range
The Hi-Fi JET PRO is available in three sizes: the FJ-600 with a maximum print width of 1615 mm (63-9/16 inches), the FJ-500 with a maximum of 1361 mm (53-9/16 inches) and the FJ-400 with a maximum of 1107 mm (43-9/16 inches). All models will print on media as small as 210 mm (8-5/16 inches), enabling a highly flexible range of output applications.
