Overview
The 8000+ Range Print Heads
The Jet•A•Mark 8000+ range comprises of the MINI, MIDI and MAXI print head
types. Each type has different printing characteristics with respect to print resolution
(drop size) where MINI print heads are used for high resolution printing and produce,
therefore, small drops, MAXI heads print at a low resolution using large drops and
MIDI heads have printing characteristics falling in the middle of the two.
Each print head type is available in three models: a 7 valve print head, a 16 valve
print head and a 32 valve print head, one for each maximum print height.
See “Print Head Comparison Charts” on page 17 for tables showing the differences
between the print heads.

OVERVIEW
Print Head Compatibility
The 8000+ print heads are fully compatible with control units used for 8000 print
heads. An 8000+ print head can be used to replace an existing 8000 print head that is
in operation. There is no need to make any changes in the control unit and its settings.
Pigmented Inks
Failure to correctly use pigmented inks, as described below, can cause
permanent damage and void the print head’s warranty.
All maintenance information contained in this manual is only applicable when using
non-pigmented inks.
If an 8000+ print head is to be used with pigmented inks a Matthews CISU
(Circulating ink Supply Unit) must also be used. The operation and maintenance
information provided in the CISU’s Operator manual must be adhered to.
