SwissQprint introduces 9 Picolitre Droplet size for ONYX, Impala and Nyala systems

SwissQprint announces that its Oryx, Impala and Nyala inkjet systems are now capable of producing output from droplets of just 9 picolitres, as an alternative option to the usual 14 picolitre volume. With these smaller ink droplets, the Swiss company confirms it is close to matching offset print standards. Such development of the system gives users an additional production mode for ultra-exacting photo print work with fine colour gradations, ideal for subjects that require uniform expanses of colour without screening artefacts, and reproduction of fine detail.

The new feature fulfills the needs of pin-sharp typography with bravura, too, and all of this with no appreciable reduction in speed compared to the previous highest-quality mode. The output software automatically selects the 9 picolitre droplet size when RIPing print files for fine art applications. With light shades in use, the maximum visual resolution on the substrate reaches 2160 dpi.
